‘It Chapter Two’ will both please and displease its fans. If you noticed the run time, that’s the disappointing part. I’ll get to that in a minute. Read more

One Child Nation Movie Review
‘One Child Nation’ is a difficult film to watch but an important one. You have to see this because as a human on this planet, you should be concerned with what an authoritarian government has done and is still willing to do to people. Perhaps one should watch with an eye toward seeing it as a cautionary tale. It is not a yarn; not a fable. Read more
Tigers Are Not Afraid – Movie Review
The film opens by throwing incredibly frightening statistics out at us. We’re told that in Mexico, since 2006 which was when the ‘war on drugs’ began, 160,000 people have been killed and that 53,000 have ‘disappeared.’ And those numbers don’t include the children!

Official Secrets Movie Review
‘Official Secrets’ is the story of a brave, patriotic whistleblower in Great Britain who took a chance being called a traitor for the love of her country and love of the British people. It’s a film that fits the current political climate as well as the time it covers. Read more
Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles Movie Review
I must admit something to you. I have never seen ‘Fiddler on the Roof.’ I’ve never been interested, nor have I thought it would be very good. I like the influential musicals; the deep and meaningful stories that aren’t just fancy but really touch the heart. This show didn’t seem to fit that mold. Was I wrong!! ‘Fiddler’ is everything I just described and much, much more!

Aquarela Movie Review
This movie is magnificent. Its essence is beauty and its message, sublime. The subject of this film is stunning in its might but also reminds us that it has an unforgiving disposition when pushed too far. This film shows us every one of those elements and more.
‘Aquarela’ is a must-see and I suggest you see it in the most significant theatre possible.

Brittany Runs a Marathon Movie Review
‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ just might be the kick in the pants you need to motivate you into getting off the couch and ‘doing it!’ Whatever that ‘it’ happens to be for you, this movie does the job of making you feel as if any and every goal is attainable.

Angel Has Fallen Movie Review
“Angel Has Fallen” is a new entry in the series starring Gerard Butler as a Secret Service agent. The stunt action is non-stop crazy, and the ammo is in endless supply. So, it is another action-based shoot-em-up where the plot borders between easily predictable and predictably easy. Read more
The Peanut Butter Falcon Movie Review
“The Peanut Butter Falcon” has created its own unique niche in movie history. It takes on a story that presents a young guy who goes on adventure. That part is not unique. But the fact that the young fellow is affected with Down’s Syndrome makes it unusual. Read more
Ready or Not Movie Review
In-laws, am I right? No one ever wants to deal with the In-laws but Grace (Weaving) really wants to make a good impression! It’ll be especially difficult with the kind of family she’s marrying into… the filthy rich. Fiancé Alex (O’Brien) is a Le Domas whose family is of old money that has come from the producing and selling of board games.
