Snacks & The Movies

I dare you to walk into a movie theater and not savor the scent of freshly made popcorn. When I go to a movie even if I have no intention of buying popcorn, I rarely can resist the fluffy treat due to the smell emanating in the theater lobby. These days a movie fan can […]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

It’s really hard to believe the “Pirates of the Caribbean” film franchise began back in 2003! I’m sure we all remember the lasting impression Johnny Depp made with his first appearance as Captain Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl”. His bumbling but lovable pirate has become one of […]

Aliens: Covenant

Some of the most horrifying creatures in movie history are back on the big screen at your local theater. The aliens from the “Alien” film franchise are back in “Alien: Covenant”, and I couldn’t be happier. The new film is a sequel to the 2012 film “Prometheus”, and a prequel to the 1979 film “Alien”.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2

(Rated PG-13) 3 1 /2 guardians (out of 4) The superhero take over of theaters has begun with the release of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”, the sequel to the 2014 original. Even though I am a comic book geek, I must confess before the release of the 2014 original I knew little about the […]

Smoky Mountain Adventure Theatre

This week I am stepping away from the cinema to talk about my experience at Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Adventures theater in Pigeon Forge, Tn. I was honored to attend a media event at the theater on May 5th with Dolly in attendance. Prior to being seated in the theater, there is an area where […]

Phoenix Forgotten

(Rated PG-13) 2 1/2 UFOs (Out of 4) UFO’s (Unidentified Flying Objects) have been featured in various films throughout cinema history. Everything from the serious (“Close Encounters of the Third Kind”) to the silly (“Plan 9 from Outer Space”) have featured the mysterious flying objects. The latest UFO film, “Phoenix Forgotten”, is based on the […]

Born In China

(Rated G) 4 Stars Every Earth Day Disneynature releases a film appropriate for the day, and I have become a fan of these films. The first Disneynature film I experienced at the theater was the 2011 release “Big Cats”, and after that joyous and unforgettable film, I have made the yearly trek to the theater […]

The Fate of the Furious

(Rated PG-13) 3 Cars (out of 4) Let’s be honest, the “Fast and Furious” films are high budget B-movies that make tons of money basically following the same, but slightly altered story line. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the aforementioned facts, as if you are a fan of these movies, those are the very […]

Queen of the Desert

Nicole Kidman’s new film “Queen of the Desert” may have fallen below your movie radar, but it’s definitely worth checking out. Kidman stars as Gretrude Bell, a British traveler, explorer, archaeologist, cartographer, and political officer. So needless to say Bell was a busy lady and was admired, most of all by the those in the […]

Power Rangers

(Rated PG-13) 3 Power Rangers (out of 4) It’s morphin time movie fans! Yes, the Power Rangers have returned to a local theater near you. “Saban’s Power Rangers” is the third theatrical film to feature the pop icons from the 1990’s. It seems like eons since the last big screen outings featuring the multi-colored heroes, […]

LIFE

(Rated R), 3 1/2 aliens (out of 4) I love movies set in outer space. From “Star Wars” to “Gravity”, I am ready to take a cinematic flight anytime. The latest film set among the stars is “Life” starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, and Ryan Reynolds. The story involves a six-member crew aboard the International […]

The Festival of Nations

This week I left the theater behind for the opening of Dollywood’s 2017 season. One of my favorite festivals at Dolly’s theme park, The Festival of Nations, runs through April 9th, and in my opinion, is a must attend event. My adventure began with a visit to the DP Celebrity Theater to view Mother Africa, […]
