Movie Review: ‘Ma’ Starring Octavia Spencer, Juliette Lewis
Let’s get things straight. Ma isn’t a good movie – but it isn’t bad either. Octavia Spencer stars as Sue Ann, otherwise known as Ma, a loner who lives by herself in an Ohio town. While the script is pure garbage, Spencer acts her ass off and gives audiences the performance of a lifetime. While […]
Movie Review: ‘Rocketman’ Starring Taron Egerton, Bryce Dallas Howard
By now most moviegoers have probably seen Bohemian Rhapsody. While they are aware that it was nominated for quite a few Oscars, the film has been criticized for sugarcoating Freddie Mercury’s promiscuity and rampant drug use. The film also failed to stick to the facts on many things in the film, including how the band […]

Movie Review: ‘Brightburn’ Starring Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn
What if Superman were evil? What if there was no hero to stop the villain? Sounds like a dark thought to me. Well, that’s exactly what Brightburn – the new film from writers Brian and Mark Gunn – is all about. If the Gunn name makes you think of James, don’t worry – he’s the […]
Movie Review: ‘Booksmart,’ Starring Kaitlyn Dever, Beanie Feldstein
Going into Booksmart, all I really knew about it is it was directed by Olivia Wilde. I also knew that Jonah Hill’s sister, Feldstein, was one of the stars. That was pretty much all I knew about the new coming of age comedy. I was expecting a comedy along the same lines as Superbad, a […]
Movie Review: ‘A Dog’s Journey,’ starring Dennis Quaid, Marge Helgenberger
A Dog’s Journey is not much different from A Dog’s Purpose. The biggest difference in the new sequel is that the film tackles some heavier topics that might be disturbing to younger audiences. We see topics such as alcoholism, death, abusive male partners and poverty tackled in the sequel to the 2017 film. I might […]
