Heart of Stone

Heart of Stone

Netflix’s new film called Heart of Stone is another action-packed summer film.  It felt like a lower budget Mission Impossible film with a female lead instead of Tom Cruise.  The film has a lot of action and adventure.  It’s a shame this is a Netflix release that will be seen primarily at home.  This is ..

Shortcomings

Shortcomings

Shortcomings is the directorial debut of Randal Scott and this movie proves that he may have a pretty bright future as a director. The interesting thing about this movie is that every character that we are introduced to is flawed in some way. The most flawed, however, is main character Ben (Justin Min) whose anger, ..

Haunted Mansion

Haunted Mansion

Ever since I went to Disneyworld for the first time as a little kid, I have have always had a keen affection for the Haunted Mansion ride. When I heard that Disney was going to put out a revamped movie about it, I was skeptical, yet eager to see it. The story is mainly about ..

Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer is the latest film by legendary film maker Christopher Nolan.  It’s his first R-rated film since Insomnia and it’s also right at three hours long.  Do not let either of those facts deter you from seeing this film.  This film is a masterclass in film making.  It nails nearly every aspect and excels in ..

Barbie

Barbie

I have to admit that when I heard a movie about Barbie was coming out, my expectations were very low! Well, I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun this movie was to watch! Writer and Director Greta Gerwig created a wonderful Pink Oasis and the casting of Barbie(Margot Robbie) and Ken(Ryan Gosling) was spot ..

Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1

Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to endure 2 hours and 40 minutes of non-stop car chasing, thrill riding, sky diving, and explosive summer fun. The latest release from the Mission Impossible franchise hits all the tones of a summer blockbuster hit. The plot is a familiar one, whether it is a ..

The Miracle Club

The Miracle Club

The Miracle Club is not a film for everyone.  It’s not full of action or CG.  It doesn’t have any super heroes or mythological creatures.  It’s a film about real life and all the challenges that presents to many of us.  Often times films like this get overlooked because they aren’t the big blockbusters that ..

Sound of Freedom

Sound of Freedom

This review is a very tough one to write as I literally saw the new Mission Impossible movie with it’s $300 million summer blockbuster budget and Sound of Freedom and it’s meager $14 Million budget on back to back nights. My big takeaway is that Sound of Freedom will have way more impact on me ..

Indiana Jones

Indiana Jones

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is an action packed adventure that doesn’t disappoint as a summer blockbuster.  While it might not quite live up to the first three Indiana Jones films, it certainly is a better watch than the 4th installment.  The film felt nostalgic with Indiana fighting against the Nazis again.  Plus ..

Elemental

Elemental

Elemental, the latest Pixar/Disney release, is a fun, family film.  While it didn’t resonate as much as many of the other Pixar films, it’s still worth a watch.  This is a story about a young girl who is trying to find her way in life. Her parents are more set in their ways and don’t ..
