“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” 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!

“Amsterdam” is written and directed by the celebrated filmmaker David O. Russell (Three Kings, American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook). Going in with this in mind might set your expectations a little high. Lower them some to enjoy the film more.
“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”.
“Bros” is what we need right now. I loved it!!! It’s hysterical. It’s sensitive. It’s filled with tough love. It’s the sweetest story. It’s heartbreaking. It’s real. It’s honestly special.

“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

“Blonde,” a Marilyn Monroe biopic with fictional moments taken from the Joyce Carol Oates novel thrown in, didn’t give me what I expected it would. It gave me so much more. Having never felt one way or another about Marilyn Monroe, I assumed I’d be viewing a movie about her life that would have a revelation or two. I expected information about how she started in the business and to learn a little about her childhood. Perhaps this movie would dig a little deeper, but even so, that would be that.
I purposely went into the screening of “Don’t Worry Darling” knowing as little as possible about the movie because all I heard from critics was how disappointed they were. Boo.
