Dune is a novel by Frank Herbert that I didn’t even know existed prior to this year. It is allegedly something like 1,000 pages long and is a massive sci-fi saga, but I had never even heard of it until I saw the trailer for Dennis Villeneuve’s two hour and thirty-five minute epic. I love…

If you haven’t heard of Tammy Faye you should probably look her up and gather some background information before seeing this movie. Faye is quite a character and she had a somewhat zany life, most of which is portrayed in The Eyes of Tammy Faye. For those who might not know, Faye was an Evangelist,…

No Time to Die is the final movie with Daniel Craig as James Bond. That fact most definitely affected how I viewed the movie. It is the end of an era and this review is certainly biased because of it. You’ve been warned. The movie begins with a flashback of Madeleine, who you should remember…

Lily Houghton (Emily Blunt) is…

More often than not, sequels tend to be disappointing. There are a few exceptions to this rule and I’m happy to report A Quiet Place Part II is one. Writer and director John Krasinski crafted a captivating story with the 2018 hit A Quiet Place. It enjoyed both critical and commercial success and put Krasinski…

I’d like to be up front about the fact that I don’t particularly care for the Disney “live-action” remakes. Most of the time I think they’re pretty much pure garbage. So to say I had low expectations for Cruella would be a massive understatement. Perhaps that’s why I loved it so much; I was pleasantly…

Those Who Wish Me Dead caught my eye mainly because Angelina Jolie is in it. Jolie has taken a back seat in her acting career, preferring to direct or produce instead. Unless you wanted to see her in Disney’s Maleficent, you were out of luck. I generally think Jolie is a fantastic actor and I…
