12 Strong Clears Up My Misconceptions about The War in Afghanistan (Review)
Man, am I ever the wrong person to review 12 Strong. I can see that it’s well made but I just don’t get War Movies. I know nothing about guns or missiles or tactics, so it’s like Sci-Fi to me - very badly explained Sci-Fi (with terrible special effects) that...
Paddington 2: Rotten Tomatoes is Right, it Really is That Good (Review)
I never really got Paddington. When I was young, I read the books and tried marmalade, hated it, gave the books up because they were misleading. I was that kind of child. So Paddington 2 wasn’t my first choice but I was dying to see how it could get 100% on Rotten...
Phantom Thread is the Perfect Sendoff for Daniel Day-Lewis (Review)
Phantom Thread is supposed to be Day-Lewis’ final film before retiring from acting altogether. Nothing seems more fitting than the acclaimed actor's final film to be with a director that has made some incredible movies. Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis are a...
Liam Neeson Takes You On a Pleasant B-Action Movie Ride with ‘The Commuter’ (Review)
When you buy a ticket for The Commuter, you know exactly what you’re paying for. You’re paying not just for an action movie, but a Liam Neeson action movie. You’re paying for a movie released during one of the slowest months of the year during one of the coldest...
Insidious: The last Key is Ambitious & Character Driven but They Put The Scariest Stuff Too Early (Review)
It’s January again, that time of year when everyone’s exhausted and broke from the holidays and nobody feels like going to see anything. What brave movie maker wants to release something then? Stuff that would go straight to DVD otherwise, that’s what. This week...
Downsizing Comes Up Short With Its Ambitions (Review)
When trailers first started coming out for Alexander Payne's latest film, I was definitely intrigued by its premise. The idea of humans opting for a medical procedure that shrinks them down to four inches tall seemed like a possibility for great satire and comedy. ...
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a Fun Sequel to the Beloved Classic (Review)
We have reached the pinnacle age of Hollywood, and by that I mean we have literally run out of ideas. Or so it seems anyways. Everything is about churning out the biggest blockbuster for box office profits, or quickly rushing a sequel within the next year or two. In...

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is Beautiful but 40 Minutes Too Long (Review)
My goodness it was not easy to get in to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Long line-ups just for seating, sold out shows, no parking - there probably isn’t any need to review this because you’ve probably already seen it, whoever you are. For those sane few who were not...
