The Hustle Review — Tolkien Review — Will Opposites Attract?
The Hustle review — Dirty Rotten Scoundrelettes I’ll say this for the female take on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: Anne Hathaway’s wardrobe is sublime, and she looks fabulous in every outfit. Oh, and the animated title sequence is great fun. Unfortunately, the rest of the film doesn’t deliver on its initial promise. What we have here…
Pokémon Detective Pikachu Review — Fans of the Game Will LOVE It

POMS Review — Do Seniors and Cheerleading Mix?
Poms review — This film about the unlikely pairing of seniors and cheerleading has a fab cast, but a drab script. Bless this movie’s heart! Southerner’s know that “Bless her heart,” is the socially correct preface to a thorough skewering. And since this film takes place in the south, I thought that was appropriate. Diane…

AVENGERS: ENDGAME Review — Best. Superhero Movie. Ever.
Avengers: Endgame Review — Run, don’t walk to the cineplex, and see it before the spoilers rob you of the pure joy of it all. Avengers: Endgame has achieved what was previously considered impossible: it kept me not only riveted, but thrilled for the entirety of its three hours. Not once did my attention wander,…
BREAKTHROUGH Review — Faith-Based Fare Just in Time for Easter
Breakthrough Review — Sustenance for the faith-based, and an interesting look at a devout culture for non-believers. Before you non-believers roll your eyes the second you see the words “faith-based,” ask yourself if you’d have the same reaction to a film about, say, an ancient Native American or African tribe, their rituals, and faith in…
THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA Review — The Ghost That’s a Crying Shame

LITTLE Review – HELLBOY Review — A Little Slice of …
Not being one to dwell on the negative, my Little review and my Hellboy review are short but not so sweet. Little Review — Big on potential, small on delivery You might have heard that Little is a flip of Tom Hanks’ Big, switching up age, race and gender. That’s what I was expecting. But…
WILLIAM Review — Sure, It’s About a Cloned Neanderthal, But It’s Not What You’d Expect
William review — A surprisingly gentle yet provocative sci-fi drama about the evolution of a fish out of water. “Sweet” and “subtle” are not the first words you’d expect to read in a description of a sci-fi film about cloning a Neanderthal. But those are exactly the first two words that came to mind after…
