Movie Review – Happy Death Day – Very Fun, Almost Cute Horror Film
I was really surprised with this movie. I thought it was going to be totally predictable and played out. They surprised me; it was really good. I loved how the same day would start over and over again. You’d think that it would get boring, but the way they kept switching things up kept you…

Movie Review – It (Chapter 1)
Normally RunPee Sis sees the horror films like this, but since she lives in Orlando she’s in hurricane prep mode right now — her own horror movie. So I’ve been pressed into duty. Both the critics (90%) and users (92%) at RottenTomatoes.com gave this movie high marks. Personally, I was a little bored by the…

Movie Review – The Fate of the Furious – F8
I’ve been waiting on pins and needle for this movie. I know I said exactly this for the previous movie of F7. It still holds true. Let me start off with the fact that I’m probably one of the biggest fans of this franchise. I’ve seen everyone of them on opening day, and had vowed my…

Movie Review – Life
—
I don’t even know how to rate this one. For the record, I absolutely hated it. I’m even the target audience, according to the trailers, as I LOVE science fiction and space movies. However, you should all know this is a straight body horror film, with gristly, gruesome, and horrific scenes occurring frequently once the…

Movie Review – Get Out – Jordan Peele Hits A Home Run
—
Jordan Peele hit a home run with his first attempt at writing and directing. Get Out was a refreshing look at the horror genre, and I can’t wait to see more of his creative juices. The movie was both frightening and funny, often at the same time. The acting was good, the pacing was perfect,…

Movie Review – Star Trek Beyond
I’m a big ST fan. I’ve watched all the TV series and all the movies. So I’m going to come at this review as a fan, not a casual moviegoer. All of three Abrams’ Star Trek movies have been well received by the critics and audience, so we can at least say that we’ve…

Movie Review – London Has Fallen
—
Critics hate this movie, but I think the creators did a pretty good job of making a movie that lands near the bulls eye for movie goers who like action, revenge, violence, and good guys vs bad guys. I’m not saying this movie is anywhere near a classic of the genre, but it is an…

Movie Review – Gravity
I enjoyed Gravity, but didn’t love it. I’m not going to grade the movie on its scientific accuracy because if I did, it would get a D, at best. Instead I’ll only consider the story aspects. My biggest beef with Gravity is the character development. The movie is only 90 minutes long, which doesn’t leave…

Movie Review – Olympus Has Fallen
—
Olympus has Fallen is a lot like Die Hard in the White House. It is by no means as good, but it’s still an entertaining and action packed movie. Movie critics are split on their reviews, but the audience ratings are pretty solid in the “like it” category. The theater was nearly packed last night…

Analysis of Inception
If you would like to read my movie review of Inception – no spoilers – then go here. As soon as the movie is over you’re left wondering: Is Cobb -Leonardo DiCaprio – awake at the end? Or was this all a dream? Whose dream? It is brilliant writing to not only leave these and…
