Skipping Stones: An Emotional Tearjerker About the Rippling Effects of Grief

March 3, 2022 by Kevin

3.5 out of 5 stars (above average) Skipping Stones is the kind of movie that will make you want to hug all of your family members when it’s over.  It’s a tearjerking drama about grief and survivor’s guilt with a great cast that pulls on your heartstrings and ends on a bittersweet note that will… Continue Reading

Marry Me: Say Yes To JLo’s Sweet New Romcom

February 12, 2022 by Kevin

3.5 out of 5 stars (above average) I’ve always seen romantic comedies as the comfort food genre of film.  While some are certainly better than others, the good ones can be the answer to a bad day or long work week to sit down and enjoy either alone or with your significant other.  Jennifer Lopez… Continue Reading

Encanto: An Uncommonly Personal Musical Fantasy

January 29, 2022 by Kevin

4 out of 5 stars (One of the Best of the Year) Encanto is an example of Disney working at the height of its power.  It’s a small story told with toe-tapping songs, humor, emotional honesty, and gorgeous animation.  I felt great joy watching a mainstream animated film tackle such issues as self-doubt, feeling out… Continue Reading

October 14, 2021 by Kevin

3.5 out of 5 stars (above average) Halloween is one of the longest-running franchises out there, and after years of middling sequels and an early 00s reboot, you’d think returning to this particular well would be a fool’s errand.  However, director David Gordon Green delivers a surprisingly brutal direct sequel to the 1978 classic that… Continue Reading

Venom 2: Let This Be The Final Installment

October 5, 2021 by Kevin

2.5 out of 5 stars (decent) I was a big fan of the original Venom.  A mostly light, playful sci-fi action film with the occasional mildly disturbing image, it proved you could make a film about a Spider-Man villain without Spider-Man ever making an appearance.  The best aspect of it was funnily antagonistic back-and-forth between… Continue Reading
