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

Midsommar Movie Review

July 3, 2019 (updated July 9, 2019) Published by

Another A24 must-see is ‘Midsommar.’ The film was intense, bizarre and uniquely disturbing. An easier way to say it is that the movie was off the charts freaky and stays with you for long after you’ve seen it. The story follows a group of young anthropology students to Sweden on break from school headed straight for, quite frankly, their night or rather, their daymares. That comment will make more sense to you after you’ve seen the film.
