“Gracie & Pedro: Pets to the Rescue” is animated movie about two pets on an ‘incredible journey’.

The Substance Movie Review

September 19, 2024 (updated September 19, 2024) Published by JMcNaughton

My Old Ass Movie Review

September 19, 2024 (updated September 19, 2024) Published by JMcNaughton

“My Old Ass” is a fun little coming-of-age story mixed with a little ‘woo-woo’ voodoo. This allows an older version of the character to give advice to the younger one. It is not like “Back to the Future 2”. No, in this case, the mysterious trip in the ‘Way Back Machine’ is from drugs – not a DeLorean. And this one’s a kick in the Ass..

Things are turning into a ‘M-E-Double-S’… Read more The Front Room Movie Room

Sing Sing Movie Review

August 15, 2024 (updated August 15, 2024) Published by JMcNaughton

“Sing Sing” is an emotionally uplifting story set in the most depressing place — the maximum security prison called ‘Sing Sing’. Prisoners on the inside never have a lot of freedom to express themselves. But a program designed to get inmates familiar with ‘The Arts’ gives them a chance to produce plays and learn acting skills. You might call it ‘The Sing Sing Redemption’, just without the major escape at the end. Read more Sing Sing Movie Review

It Ends With Us Movie Review

August 8, 2024 (updated August 8, 2024) Published by JMcNaughton

“It Ends With Us” is about abuse inside the family — domestic violence — and shows that you can make it stop. Refuse to be a victim and stand up to the abuser. If it just didn’t lean into the ‘cutesy’ initial romance and the unrealistic situations — you might think the movie was saying something important… Read more It Ends With Us Movie Review

Fly Me to the Moon Movie Review

July 11, 2024 (updated July 11, 2024) Published by JMcNaughton

“Fly Me to the Moon” is a movie that has the backdrop of the U.S. Space Program of the late 1960’s. The Apollo moon shot mission is the key focus. But it is not content with following the (fictional) people involved. It instead goes into major ‘conspiracy theory’ territory. The actual moon landing will be a real boost for America’s prestige — even if Government Forces need to ‘fake it’… Read more Fly Me to the Moon Movie Review
