Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Movie Review

July 26, 2019 (updated July 28, 2019) Published by

“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” wants to show people that this world belongs to Quentin Tarantino, and we are all just living in it. His writing takes the direction to glamorize the glamour capital of the world, Hollywood. His direction takes liberties with our recollection of history, and makes up new facts. But with such a talented cast and crew, the long journey into the year 1969 takes us on a slow and steady discovery of the Tarantino World. Read more

Scary Stories (2019) Movie Review

July 22, 2019 (updated July 23, 2019) Published by

The movie starts by introducing us to a singer who has a song for us called, ‘The Hearse Song.’ His version of it, that is. Once it’s heard you won’t be able to unhear it for the rest of the day. Some of the unforgettable lyrics are, ‘Did you ever think as a hearse goes by, that you may be the next to die? And your eyes fall out, and your teeth decay… and that is the end of a perfect day.’

The Art of Self-Defense Movie Review

July 19, 2019 (updated July 19, 2019) Published by

​Riley Stearns’ new film ‘The Art of Self-Defense’ could be seen as untoward, almost depraved, because it’s so wicked. Don’t get me wrong with the words I’ve chosen to describe it. It’s wicked good! It tells the story of a thirty-five-year-old dog owner. I’ll stop there a moment. When you see the movie, you’ll see why I did. Read more

The Lion King Movie Review

July 19, 2019 (updated July 19, 2019) Published by

“The Lion King” – the first movie was original and very enjoyable, and now this one is enjoyable – but not all that original…

 

The Disney formula used to be “Wonder, Joy and Amazement”, but it has turned into “Wash, Rinse and Repeat”. Looking back at a classic Disney animation movie such as this, it is difficult to come up things that would need to be changed to improve on the original. Read more

Stuber Movie Review

July 12, 2019 (updated July 12, 2019) Published by

‘Stuber’ is ridiculous… in a good way. In the newest buddy cop movie to come out for our viewing pleasure, director Michael Dowse teams Dave Bautista and Kumail Najiani together to create an unusual pairing that, in my opinion, works both visually and auditorially. Is that a word? Anway, anyone who doesn’t agree wasn’t watching the same movie that I was watching. Read more

Marianne and Leonard: Words of Love Movie Review

July 12, 2019 (updated July 12, 2019) Published by

I’ll jump right in with letting you know that I thought I was going to write a review that spoke more or less of singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen’s talent. However, as the words went from fingertips to keyboard, I found that they weren’t so friendly toward the artist. Let me say that outside of the film being slow at times, you’ll be enthralled with this documentary but won’t be so crazy about its subject by films end. This should be titled, ‘Anything but Words of Love.’ Read more

Summer Night Movie Review

July 12, 2019 (updated July 12, 2019) Published by

‘Summer Night’ is the directorial debut of actor Joseph Cross. Learning this made me want to like it more than I did but unfortunately, as I watched all I saw was a film that wanted to be as good as the 1995 ensemble classic, ‘Empire Records’ and desperately longed to be seen as second coming of 1993’s ‘Dazed and Confused.’ Read more
