You’ll relate to this film if you went to any sort of camp while growing up. After watching the screening, when asked what my initial reaction to “Theatre Camp” was, I had to respond with, “You can feel Will Ferrell all over it.” Though he didn’t write or direct, his having been involved in the production of the film cast quite an impression, so much so that you will sense him.

Oppenheimer Movie Review
Christopher Nolan’s films, including Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception and The Dark Knight, have earned over $5 billion at the global box office. They’ve also received 11 Oscars, but they’ve never received Best Picture. “Oppenheimer” won’t get the director this award either, in my opinion.
Barbie Movie Review
The first thing that will jump out at you is the Warner Brothers logo. It’s a beautiful Barbie signature pink. And their mocking of “2001: A Space Odyssey” worked soundly. You’re ready for this adventure to begin the second you see it.

The Miracle Club Movie Review
Set in Dublin in 1967, “The Miracle Club” is about the tale of close friends, Lily (Maggie Smith), Eileen (Kathy Bates), and Dolly (Agnes O’Casey), who live in a somewhat troubled town of Ballygar, outside of Dublin, Ireland. Agnes O’Casey holds her own with who could be considered some of the best actresses of our time. You’d think they, indeed were close with one another.

Black Ice Movie Review
I’ll start by telling you about the production companies that brought this documentary to life. The SpringHill Company is one that brings together companies started by LeBron James and Maverick Carter. Their brand is called UNINTERRUPTED. TSN is also involved in this. Let’s call them the ESPN of Canada.
Lakota Nation vs. United States Movie Review
“Lakota Nation vs. United States” is from Jesse Short Bull & Laura Tomaselli, both making their feature directorial debut. After watching, you’ll find that hard to believe! This movie touches on almost every subject about Lakota Nation and how they were treated.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One Movie Review
“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” is the not ‘Mission: Impossible’ movie you expected. It is the star-studded, stunt-driven spectacle that this summer needed. Some of the other big summer ‘tent pole’ movies are gone in a ‘Flash’, or will never reach their ‘Destiny’. This summer could be saved by a swirl of fights, chases, and intrigue that keeps the focus on the action. And to think, this is only ‘Part One’…

Director Alice Troughton has mainly worked in directing television. She has directed episodes of “Torchwood,” “Dr. Who,” “The Flash” and “Baghdad Central,” which she also took on the challenge of executive producer.

Joy Ride Movie Review
Joy Ride” is a hard-R mash-up of “Crazy Rich Asians” and “The Hangover”. But this, it is with an Asian female lead cast and filled with language that could make a sailor blush. Four ladies make their way on a ‘business’ trip to China. Much zaniness ensues, and the journey tests friendships – along with alcohol tolerance. You could call it “My Big Fat Asian Road Trip”!

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Movie Review
I enjoyed watching the newest Indiana Jones adventure almost as much as any other adventure film. Well, maybe I should say I didn’t dislike it. Mostly because I thought I’d never see the character again. Read more
