A critique of movies by someone who loves movies and doesn't feel the need to be too critical.
The Fall Guy

Poor Things
March 11, 2024
Weird. Bizarre. Depraved. Perverse. Hilarious. Only a few of the many adjectives needed to describe this movie. You need a strong constitution to watch it. There are disgusting looking half and half animals. William Dafoe is the “mad” scientist with a patchwork face named Godwin Baxter and called “God” by his creation. Ramy Youssef (Max […]
The Holdovers
March 9, 2024
Finally got to see this. Living in a small town(s) has many advantages, but movie theaters are not one. The Holdovers starts with beautiful Christmas music ringing throughout Barton Academy, an all-male boarding school in New England, and Paul Hunham (Paul Giamatti) being sentenced to babysit those students not able to go home for the […]

Napoleon
November 26, 2023
It’s 1793. Marie Antoinette walks proudly to the guillotine. Napoleon shortly thereafter begins leading battle after battle. Sixty-one in fact with 3,000,000 deaths. He is arrogant. He is short-tempered, pouty, spoiled-child-like, playful, melancholic. He meets Josephine and is immediately whipped. He calls her a slut and his one true love. He believes in destiny as […]

A Haunting in Venice
September 18, 2023
A walking, talking Agatha Christie novel. Venice, Italy. Jazzy 1940’s music. Gondolas on clear, green canals. Haunted palazzo. Mysterious happenings. Creepy kid. Quick-witted repartee. Writer Ariadne Oliver (Tina Fey) convinces Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) to attend a seance in order to expose a medium (Michelle Yeoh). Then the medium turns up impaled on a chandelier. […]
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3
September 14, 2023
Toula (Nia Vardalos) decides to take her entire family to Greece to return her late father’s journal to his three childhood friends. First, they bring open food, like souvlaki, on the plane which I’m pretty sure is not allowed. Once they get there, they all jump into the ocean completely clothed with absolutely no reason. […]

Gran Turismo

If you need a shot of adrenaline, check this movie out. Gamers and high speed auto racing – two things I know little about and care even less, but day-um, it’s not too bad at all. Based on the true story of Jann Mardenborough (Archie Madekwe), a young gamer who goes from sitting in his […]
