Thor: Ragnarok

Mar 05, 2018

The latest Thor movie does its best to reinvent itself from the serious superhero, “save the world” usual fare into more of a humorous, Guardians of the Galaxy kind of way but sadly it just doesn’t mesh well with what we know of the series.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Mar 02, 2018

Three Billboards wasn’t as gut-wrenching as I originally thought it would be but it was still emotional. Phenomenally acted it reminds us that actions have consequences and not just for ourselves.

Murder on the Orient Express

Mar 01, 2018

The cast of this remake is veritable who’s who of Hollywood elite. Unfortunately, this script doesn’t give any of them a meaty enough part to sink their teeth into. While terrific as usual, none of then deliver an Oscar-worthy performance.

Lady and The Tramp Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Lady And The Tramp Signature Collection

Feb 27, 2018

If you are a Disney fan or have little ones at home this is a purchase you certainly want to make. Disney movies are always a treat and this older one certainly stands the test of time and remains an enjoyable story told through the eyes of some adorable dogs.

Darkest Hour

Feb 25, 2018

Darkest Hour offers a look into a very specific and limited time frame in Churchill’s reign. The tumultuous issues would have given any politician cause for concern and pause but the movie depicts Churchill as a rather eccentric yet brilliant man.

Game Night

Feb 22, 2018

With so much of the same films being produced and shoved down our throats these days, it’s nice to get something a little out of the ordinary for a change.

The Florida Project

Feb 20, 2018

Sean Baker does an excellent job of editing the film and the pace moves along nicely. The script is well done and the subject matter is very interesting.

Black Panther

Marvel Studios usually does a good job with these films but with Black Panther, they stepped up their game and it pays off.

Wonder

Feb 13, 2018

At a time in our lives when bullying is so prevalent and not tolerated and inclusion is the word of the day, it seems Palacio’s novel and the subsequent film ring true. Wonder is a feel-good movie with a deeper message that stars a great cast.
