Woodstock
The new documentary film “Woodstock” follows the events leading up to, during, and after the famous 1969 music festival. If you studied your American History properly or lived during the time, you know 1969 was a very volatile time in our history, with conflicts over civil rights, women’s rights, and the conflict over the war […]

Batman: Hush
When I was reading the Batman comic book entitled “Batman: Hush” back in 2002 and 2003 I thought it would make a thrilling live-action movie or even a great animated movie. Low and behold in 2019 WB Animation finally decided to release the high selling comic book series in animated form. I’ll take what I can […]

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
I have never been a huge fan of director Quentin Tarantion’s work as goes a bit overboard with the violence in his films. However, I was willing to give his new film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, a viewing due to being fans of the two leads, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. The presence […]

The Lion King
While Disney seems determined to reboot every animated movie in their vast catalogue, it should come as no surprise they have released a “live-action” version of the 1994 blockbuster “The Lion King.” The mega hit is loved by all generations, and I’m surprise it took this long to see Simba and crew brought back to […]

Spider-Man: Far From Home
“Spider-Man Goes on Vacation”, I mean “Spider-Man: Far From Home”, is the latest film featuring the iconic web-slinger. The new film is set eight months after the events of “Avengers: Endgame”, and Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) is still distraught over the death of his good friend and mentor Tony Stark/Ironman. To get some relief from […]

Yesterday
Among the talking pets, superheroes, car chases, scary dolls, and stomping monsters of the summer movie season, there is a sweet little film now playing in theaters called “Yesterday”. The film is a fantasy/musical/comedy/romance, and stars Himesh Patel as Jack Malik, a teacher who aspires to be a singer-songwriter. He is supported in his efforts […]

Murder Mystery
I’ll admit I have never been a fan of Adam Sandler. To me most of his “comedies” are childish and his voice and mannerism are ingratiating. Was that too harsh? Not really, after all celebrities open themselves up for criticism by being in the public eye, so Adam is fair game. On the other hand, […]

The Secret Life of Pets 2
I have always loved animated movies that entertain kids but are clever enough for adults to enjoy. Such is the case with “The Secret Life of Pets”, a computer-animated film that hit theaters in 2016. The film revealed to movie fans what could happen when owners leave they pets home alone. Party time! The film […]

Justice League vs. The Fatal Five
It’s time for me to geek out this week. Warner Brothers Animation has released a new DC Comics animated film featuring the Justice League, and I couldn’t be more happy as these films are very popular with not old kids but adults as well. The latest effort is “Justice League vs. The Fatal Five”, so […]
