Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse – A Movie Review
When I first saw the trailer for this movie and noticed it was PG, I thought, “Huh. That might be one for the kids and me.” We weren’t in a rush to see it, mind you, but as the reviews kept praising it, and as Rotten Tomatoes continued to maintain a 97% “fresh” rate, I…

The Grinch (2018) – A Movie Review
My six and ten-year-old daughters were very excited to see this latest rendition of Dr. Seuss’ classic, so I made a point to take them on opening night. I believe they’ve seen the classic cartoon movie, but I don’t think they’ve ever seen the Jim Carrey live-action version. This will be relevant later. I have…

Don’t Quit On Daredevil: Season 3
ScreenRant.com is saying that a lot of people gave up on Daredevil: Season 3. If you’re one of those viewers, give it another try. I finished this latest season about a week ago, and I have to tell you that after reflecting on it, I think this season is my favorite of all the Netflix…

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018) – A Movie Review
My wife and I took our daughters to see The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Friday night and I have to admit that I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think the most striking aspect of this movie is that it looks exquisite. The costumes, sets, and scenery are gorgeous. It seemed to me that much…

Probably like you, I grew intensely interested in this book after watching the first season of the Hulu adaptation.

As records show, they were delayed several days after securing Eichmann and had to keep him in a safe house as they awaited extraction.…

The Predator – A Movie Review
Maybe you remember the other Predator movies fondly, like me, and have an urge to check this one out, especially because it’s directed by Shane Black. Resist that urge. This movie is awful from start to finish. I’ll admit that it’s got a few funny one-liners, but the general story is a convoluted mess, the…

The Meg – A Movie Review
I realize this has been out for awhile, but maybe I’ll get lucky and this review will still prove helpful to you. If you have the chance to see this movie, let me go ahead and save you some money by saying you should pass. Don’t get me wrong — I had a great time…

Christopher Robin – A Movie Review
I’ll be honest, when I first saw the trailer to this movie, I felt totally turned off. It struck me as dark, dreary, and unnecessarily … adult. Well, I’m happy to tell you that I couldn’t have been more mistaken. Though we aren’t particularly big Winnie the Pooh fans, we like him well enough. Once…
