Stars at Noon Movie Review

October 14, 2022 (updated October 14, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“Stars at Noon” is a movie about wanting to get out — out of the country, as in the case of the young foreigners who find themselves unwanted and alone. They find each other, and then sexual tensions run as high as the humidity in that Central American country. Political actions and pandemic restrictions close them in tighter and tighter. They find that all means of support are taken away, and they must rely on each other. But will the walls close in before they find an escape? Read more Stars at Noon Movie Review

Halloween Ends Movie Review

October 13, 2022 (updated October 13, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“Halloween Ends” is a violent end to a violent film franchise. Way back in 1978, John Carpenter created a scary little slasher/horror movie. Just like his main character, Michael Myers, this franchise has taken on a life of its own. For the past 44 years, nothing, and nobody, has been able to kill Michael Myers. The same goes for this franchise. But now it Ends…

The Good Nurse Movie Review

October 13, 2022 (updated October 13, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“The Good Nurse” a dramatic take on true events that could give you chills if you are ever admitted into a hospital. The bureaucratic administrations had allowed, or ignored, many suspicious deaths over a number of years. All of these seemed to be tied to one particular male nurse. Definitely not the “Good” one!

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile Movie Review

October 6, 2022 (updated October 6, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile” is a movie based on children’s book, and it has been with a lot of energy and creativity. The talent behind the movie is very impressive. Lyle is a singing sensation, doing music created by the same team of songwriters who have composed for “Dear Evan Hansen”, “La La Land” and “The Greatest Showman”. You might call Lyle the crocodile “The Scaliest Showman”.

Smile Movie Review

September 29, 2022 (updated September 29, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“Smile” is a movie that thinks you need to turn that frown upside-down. That is, as long as you like vaguely superstitious, unsettling horror movies. Movies such as ‘The Ring’ and ‘It Follows’. Movies that have some unnamed evil presence that gets you in the end. Only in this movie, it’s much more fun – because you get to wear a crazed smile before you die. Read more Smile Movie Review

Pearl Movie Review

September 15, 2022 (updated September 15, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“Pearl” has another title of “Pearl: An X-traordinary Origin Story”. Why? Because it has a direct tie-in to a previous movie called “X”. This was from the same Writer and Director, with the same leading Star. So, with the success of “X”, in getting a unique take on the horror-slash-slasher movie — what better way forward than to go way back into the past! Read more Pearl Movie Review

Three Thousand Years of Longing Movie Review

August 25, 2022 (updated August 24, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“Three Thousand Years of Longing” is a visually freaky fun film that frolics in fantastical fantasy. (Say that five times real fast!) When an educated Professor meets up with a mythical creature from ancient days (the Djinn), a fairy-tale of adventure, discovery and love take hold of the screen. From Director George Miller (“Mad Max”, “Babe’, “Mad Max: Fury Road”, and many others) – there was only one final line I wanted for this movie — and that is… Read more

Delia’s Gone Movie Review

August 20, 2022 (updated August 22, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“Delia’s Gone” is drama about a developmentally disabled man who is accused of a murder, and then later finds out the truth of his sister’s death. He was framed and wants to get back at the people who were culpable. It is a bit like “Rain Man” or “Forrest Gump” conducting a criminal investigation to clear their name. He might be a little slow, but he is able to uncover the truth.
