When you’re watching a movie about con men, you need to stay on your toes the entire time. Are the Brothers Bloom conning just their mark or are they conning you too? I love a movie that will leave me duped. There are so many films and television shows where, with a close eye, you…
People always say, “They don’t make them like they used to.” And while I don’t always agree with that sentiment, with Deathtrap, they’re absolutely right. I always get a little nervous when I encounter a play-turned-movie. As a theatre critic myself, I’ve heard of Deathtrap, but never saw it performed and didn’t know the story….
Any movie with Maggie Smith is an attractive one, and in Quartet, she is a star. I just wish that the film had a little more oomph and a little more magic. I would argue that there aren’t enough movies that focus on older people living their lives. You get many stories where grandma is…
A real-life shooter video game in a city with real people full with viewers, effects, and scoring? Yeah, this was a fun one. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be in a video game, you’re not alone. This is one of those films where it feels like a few friends got…
I feel like I’m a really good audience for most films. I love film and I can get really into almost every genre and every topic. But when the movie is terrible, like Never Goin’ Back, there’s nothing I can do about that. You know those movies that you watch where you start by taking…
While we are all looking for little miracles here and there, this film about a woman’s hours of clarity while dealing with dementia did not hit the way I was hoping. Dementia is a topic that many of us have been touched by. We have loved ones and family friends whose loved ones are managing…
While Multiples may be illegal in the world of Mickey 17, I would have appreciated a multiple of myself to watch the second half of this movie for me. This is one of those movies that I’ve been waiting to see. It’s been on my watchlist since I first heard that it was in the…
They say that there are no original ideas, but when it comes to film, that’s not entirely true. The Double is a little film that makes you think, and in its own way, it stands out in the crowd. Many feel like they don’t exist in this world. They walk through a crowd or visit…
I love a film that starts in neutral territory and slowly builds such that you don’t know where all your investment and emotion came from. That was The Penguin Lessons for me. Plus, penguin! Films based on real stories usually go one of two ways – it is a great story, but the film lacks…
One of my very favorite romantic comedies, The Big Sick is a movie that you can watch over and over. It’s funny, it’s clever, and it may have fallen below the radar, so add it to your list! The Big Sick is one of those movies that struck me deeply the first time I watched…
7 Days is a little romantic comedy so charming that it won’t even bother you (much) that it’s set during Covid. I’ll admit that when it comes to Covid, I am not seeking entertainment that highlights that period. It was triggering for everyone in their own way and I don’t think anyone is looking to…
