DUMBo: A Tim Burton Nightmare-Film Review

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That’s actually really good advice that has worked for Disney (the laziest studio in the West) in the past. Beauty and the Beast wasn’t tampered with much when they brought it to live action film. Jungle Book did fairly well. Even Alice In Wonderland (with Tim Burton directing) […]

Unplanned & Gosnell: Film Review

The first thing to be said about the movie Unplanned is the ridiculous rating. There are no swear words, no violence, and though there is a lot of blood in parts of the movie, it’s no worse than your average PG-13 action film. The rating is a joke and a testament to how stupid the […]

Shazam! (vs Captain Marvel): Film Review

Saturday night I saw Shazam! and it.was.awesome. 3 for 3 with the stand alones for DC. Well done. While Marvel was handing out free tickets to try and get butts in seats and positive reviews, DC was SELLING early tickets to get butts in seats to get in early reviews. I used to watch Shazam […]

Captain Marvel: Film Review

The Review: Ugh. There is a key, universal, direction to writers of any media and it is this: SHOW don’t TELL. This movie is a crap-ton of telling. It starts out awesome. The story kicks along nicely, and although the chemistry between Brie Larson and Jude Law seems acidic, or rather like two magnets of […]

Once Upon A Deadpool: Film Review

Once Upon A Deadpool, or Deadpool 2 the PG-13 version, was a milder, less violent version of Deadpool 2 with a twist. The twist includes an homage to The Princess Bride and an appearance from a full grown Fred Savage. In this version, without much of a spoiler, Deadpool reads Fred a bedtime story which […]

Into the Spiderverse: Film Review

One of the first things that hit you about this animated film, is the style. The sharp lines filled in by classic coloring styles with a feint double vision in the background was meant to be a throwback to comic books. You will see a lot of shading techniques only found in old print comics, […]

Alita Battle Angel: Film Review

Alita Battle Angel follows the heroes quest in ways you don’t normally expect– Roller Derby Style. And since it is roller derby, it’s only fitting it be a woman who ends up on top. It’s an epic quest, and it is still anime, so it does follow many anime tropes, which I won’t mention here […]

Lego Movie 2nd Part – EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!

The Lego Movie has a special place in this home. My husband can’t get through the first movie without snorting soda out of his nose when Wildstyle is talking and Emmett hears “Blah blah blah blah blah.” And I tell you this to let you know I am a bit biased here. I liked the […]

A Silent Voice – Review

A Silent Voice Trailer I have to admit my bias in wanting to view this movie. It involves a deaf student and is dubbed by a deaf actress (Lexi Marman). It was offered by Fathom events January 31st and will be released on Blueray in the US on April 2nd. The story follows a young […]

They Shall Not Grow Old – Peter Jackson Documentary on WWI — NO SPOILERS

This documentary is told in archive footage of WWI and BBC interviews of veterans of the war. Director Peter Jackson, and his […]
