A Dog’s Purpose

A Dog’s Purpose

A Dog’s Purpose As an ardent dog lover, I was anxiously awaiting this movie to come out. The story is a tad over the top and contrived, but still very sweet and watchable.(Yes, I even teared up a time or two!) It’s the story of Bailey a Retriever who finds himself living and dying several ..

Gold

Gold

When I first heard that the movie Gold was about a struggling prospector looking for a windfall in Indonesia, I was prepared to be bored to tears. Instead, I was riveted to to the screen by yet another masterful acting performance by Matthew McConaughey. He is honestly one of our finest actors going today. McConaughey ..

Arrival

Arrival

Arrival It’s hard to adequately describe the immensity of the ambition of Denis Villeneuve‘s “Arrival,” a film that dances with concepts so colossal they’ve rather obliterated most of the previous films that have attempted to grapple with them (Robert Zemeckis‘ “Contact” and Christopher Nolan‘s “Interstellar” come to mind as those two being the most successful ..

Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange So Marvel’s newest superhero/superwizard film will be out this week and well this one is as the name implies it “Strange”. But never has strange looked so good. If there is one thing that critics including myself agree on is that this film has some of the best visuals of any recent film. ..

Ouija: The Origin of Evil

Ouija: The Origin of Evil

Ok so it’s October and the only thing scary about this time of year is the lack of horror films out, what’s even more frightening…the lack of good ones! So when Ouija:Origin of Evil was up, I got a bit excited. Ouija: Origin of Evil is the prequel to the 2014 flick itself based on ..

The Girl on the Train

The Girl on the Train

The Girl on the Train I was very excited to see this movie as everywhere I go and just about everyone I know is talking about the novel by Paula Hawkins or the movie directed by Tate Taylor. Well, this movie tries to be like the hit “Gone Girl” but ends up more like “Way ..

Storks

Storks

Warner Brother’s newest animated movie, Storks, is a kid’s movie that the whole family can enjoy. The story begins up in the sky at Cornerstone.com (think Amazon… run by storks!). In past years, the storks have been known to deliver babies to families, however, they have changed their business model to now strictly deliver packages. ..

The Magnificent Seven

The Magnificent Seven

I am usually very leery of remakes, but after seeing the new reboot of the majestic western a few days ago, I was pleasantly surprised! This movie is what a fun night at the movies should be all about. Denzel Washington plays bounty hunter Sam Chisolm who is recruited by Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett) to ..

Snowden

Snowden

What ever your take is on Edward Snowden; patriot, traitor, or something in between, we cannot deny that he did something that changed our government forever. Let me begin by stating the fact that Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Night Rises, Looper, 500 Days of summer) is one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood at ..

Bridget Jones’s Baby

Bridget Jones’s Baby

As someone who thinks a 3rd movie in a series should never be made, I was hesitant with this one, especially being such a big Bridget Jones fan. I was concerned they would find ways to torture BJ and make us listen to her whine even more. WRONG. This movie was hilarious, sweet, and everything ..
