Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life: I would have LOVED this movie when I was 11 [Review]
Clearly I’m not the target audience for this film and probably can’t fairly review it, but I’m going to do the best I can with it. Middle School was aimed squarely at the younger audiences, but this actually helped me to watch it - translating everything from my...

The Birth of a Nation: A Gut-Wrenching, Yet Remarkable Journey Fueled by Conviction & Retribution [Review]
Brutal and unflinching at times, the subject matter of The Birth of a Nation is steeped in sincerity. Dating back to pre-Civil War, Nate Parker’s directorial debut does not shy away from a time where those who were oppressed by racial injustice had no hope. You’ve...

The Girl on the Train: Skip this Ride and Read the Novel Instead [Review]
Paula Hawkins’ best-selling novel works so well thanks to its balance of character study and mystery thrills. Sure, adapting a novel into a movie is no simple task, as certain aspects of the novel are constrained or changed due to budget and run time. But with The...

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children: Beautiful & Nonsensical but Full of Great Moments [Review]
This week I went to go see Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children the new movie directed by Tim Burton. If I’m going to be completely honest, the last movie of Tim Burton’s I 100% liked was The Nightmare Before Christmas and that was only produced by Tim Burton....

Storks: A Heart-Warming, Family Friendly, Quirky & Funny Film [Review]
After two weeks of Real Events Drama, something goofy and animated was just what the doctor ordered. I’d heard nothing about this film except the trailer and I did not have high hopes. After all, the last animated bird movie I saw was horrible. Storks is brought to...
