Replicas

Keanu Reeves is at it again: he’s “acting.” Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Reeves has been wonderful in many roles, including “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”, and “The Matrix” series of films. He just needs to stick to roles that require showing little emotion, like”The Day the Earth Stood Still.” However, the minute he stars […]

 

ROMA

If you are a true film buff you will definitely want to check out the new Netflix film “Roma”. The film, directed by Alfonso Cuaron (“Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”) is set in 1970 and 1971 in Colonia Roma, a neighborhood in Mexico City, and is the story of a sweet maid named […]

Happy Birthday, Batman!

He is know as The Caped Crusader, The Dark Knight and The World’s Greatest Detective. He is Batman. The iconic comic book character turns 80 in 2019 and he is as relevant and popular as ever. He, along with Superman and Wonder Woman, make up the trinity of the most famous DC comic book characters […]

Bird Box

In 2018 film-goers raved about the post-apocalyptic thriller “A Quiet Place” in which the characters could not speak lest they be attacked by a sensitive creature. In late 2018 a variation of the theme is presented in the current film “Bird Box” starring Sandra Bullock. The film is based on a 2014 novel, and presents […]

Aquaman

I can’t think of a better way to kick off 2019 than with the first live-action film featuring the comic book character Aquaman. The film actually opened the week before Christmas, and proved to be a wonderful cinematic gift for superhero fans. The road to the big screen has been a long one for Aquaman, […]

The Grinch

How many versions of The Grinch do we need? At least three in my opinion. That’s exactly what we now have with the new release “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch“. The film,  based on the 1957 Dr. Seuss book, was preceded by the 1966 animated cartoon shown on CBS, and the 2000 live-action film starring Jim Carrey in the title role. To add to the Grinch fun, we now have a CGI 3D version for 2018. […]

Dumplin’

Who doesn’t love Dolly Parton? She is an amazing singer/songwriter, has a bubbling personality, and has given us Dollywood. In the new Netflix film “Dumplin“, based on the young adult novel of the same name, we are introduced to the character of Willowdean Dickson(Danielle Macdonald), a teenager who has loved Dolly since she was a […]

Ralph Breaks the Internet

I love animated movies that are not so childish they can be enjoyed by adults and are not so adult they can be enjoyed by kids. Such is the case with the new CGI animated film “Ralph Breaks the Internet”, a sequel to the 2012 film “Wreck-It-Ralph” in which we met the lovable character from […]

The Christmas Chronicles

It’s the time of year when most of us are transitioning from Tommy Turkey to Santa Clause, even though there are many who blur the line and start Christmas decorating before Thanksgiving. Nevertheless, it’s also the time many movie fans enjoy Christmas movies, and there is a new Christmas movie on the block. “The Christmas Chronicles” […]

The Crimes of Grindelwald

If you are a fan of the “Harry Potter” and “Fantastic Beasts” film series you are no doubt thrilled about the new release “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.” The new film is the follow up to the 2016 release “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, and continues the story of Newt Scamander (Eddie […]

Outlaw King

If you are from this area you may be of Scottish heritage. If so, you may have a special interest in the new film “Outlaw King”, now playing on Netflix and in select theaters. The film is a fact based historical drama about Robert the Bruce (Chris Pine), the 14th-century Scottish king who staged a […]

A Star is Born

The first version of “A Star Is Born” was released to theaters in 1937, and was followed by other remakes in 1954 and 1976. The previous films starred Janet Gaynor, Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand respectively. Singer/actress Lady Gaga steps into the shoes of her predecessors in the 2018 version of the film co-starring Bradley Cooper, who […]
