The Room Next Door: Excellent Performances, Slow Story
I was honestly excited to get to see this film, mostly because of the people involved in telling the story. I’ve enjoyed Pedro Almodóvar’s work on prior films. In addition, we have Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, both powerhouse performers. The film explores some very thought provoking ideas with excellent performances but the story was…
Nosferatu: Atmospheric Gothic
What I was hoping for when I went to see Nosferatu was a dark Gothic film with some engaging performances. Robert Eggers typically keeps me entertained and the cast had some excellent choices so I was tentatively excited. After watching the film, I found it exactly as I hoped, an atmospheric gothic film with excellent…
Wicked: Magical and Enthralling
Wicked is a musical that I’ve wanted to see for some time so I really couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see the movie. I grew up on the Oz books and there isn’t anyone of my generation who hasn’t seen The Wizard of Oz. But as I’ve gotten older and understood more about the…
Red One: Christmas Magic
I have a fondness for Christmas movies but even more importantly, my favorite Christmas movie is an action film. So when I saw the trailers for Red One I was excited. With a fantastic cast and promises of exhilarating action, I looked forward to seeing the film. What I discovered when I watched the screening…
“Conclave”: Masterful Performances
When I heard about Conclave, I found myself intrigued by the idea. A film about the selection of one of the most powerful men in the world sounded like it would be full of intrigue and drama. Add in a cast that includes Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rossallini and I felt…
“The Outrun”: Journey of Healing
When I heard about the film The Outrun, I was curious. I like films set in the United Kingdom and I thought the premise sounded compelling, especially a film about trying to heal. After watching it, I found that while it does meander at times, it truly is a journey of healing for the character,…
“The Wild Robot”: Heart and Beauty
I love animation and have since I was young so I’m pretty much going to watch anything animated that is released. But that also means that I can be more critical if the story or the animation doesn’t meet my expectations. I was excited when I saw the trailer for The Wild Robot, however. And…
“My Old Ass”: A Fresh Twist on Coming of Age
I wanted to see “My Old Ass” as soon as I knew Aubrey Plaza was in the film but add in meeting yourself back when you’re eighteen, it sounded too good to miss. I felt like the concept could be funny but what I loved was how it was a fresh twist on the coming…
“The Substance”: Masterful View of Beauty Industry
When I read about the film, it sounded intriguing. And it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Demi Moore in a film, so I was curious as to what she would bring to the role. After watching the film, I found it a masterful view of the beauty industry, exploring what it is to…
Speak No Evil: Stellar Performances
When I saw the trailers for Speak No Evil, I found myself fascinated, especially with James MacAvoy. MacAvoy can be a stellar performer and in the scenes I saw, he appeared to be excellent. But I also wondered if those same trailers were showing all the best scenes, leaving no surprises. After watching the movie,…
