‘Joy’ Movie Review

This movie is loosely based on Joy Mangano who invented the miracle mop. Jennifer Lawrence in my opinion gives her best on screen performance portraying this single mom’s journey to build a sound life for her children and family. This is one of two movies that Édgar Ramírez stars in this Christmas weekend (‘Point Break’ the other). The soap opera scenes are chocked full of real soap stars that I recognized.

‘Concussion’ Movie Review

Based on true story about the NFL withholding findings that players who suffer concussions can experience symptoms of a disease that can lead to their death…usually by suicide. Will Smith gives a stellar performance as Dr. Bennet Omalu.

‘Point Break’ Movie Review

The storyline isn’t anything to really hold your attention yet the aerial views are spectacular especially in Real D 3D! I didn’t see the original film so I couldn’t compare the two. This one can wait for dvd viewing.

‘Daddy’s Home’ Movie Review

Not being a Will Ferrell fan I was pleasantly surprised that his comedic acting along with Mark Wahlberg meshed together well. Laugh out loud comedy throughout!

‘Sisters’ Movie Review

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in a movie together can only mean a laugh out loud movie going experience. Both of them are favorite comedians of mine so overall I enjoyed the movie. Don’t look for storyline development…it’s a comedy.

‘The Big Short’ Movie Review

This movie is based on true events around 2007 when the financial market took a nose dive and a recession was born. If you paid attention to all of the news programs that spoke of very important people in finance during this period of time, then you will follow the movie quite well. There’s hip-hop satire and characters talking to the movie audience to help you realize what was being depicted really did happen. Steve Carell does give a great performance and I’m sure award nominations are coming through the next few months.

‘The Hateful Eight’ Movie Review

If you’re a Quentin Tarantino fan, then this one doesn’t disappoint. I actually liked the movie and found it quite funny…Samuel L. Jackson keeps the movie going the entire three hours (12 minute intermission). I saw it in 70 mm film and didn’t see a difference from a digital film, IJS. Just as ‘D’Jango’ prepare yourself to hear the N-word A LOT. Great performances from an all-star ensemble cast.

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Movie Review

I think diehard Star Wars fans will be happy! I’m not a diehard fan yet I’ve seen all the movies and enjoyed them…I liked this one as well. I saw it in Real D 3D and I’d say it’s worth purchasing. I plan to see it in IMAX soon. I do think I need a refresher on the other six movies, lol. I missed seeing a couple of faces…. Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie (from #GOT); my next go round I guess I’ll see them, lol, I believe Lupita’s character is masked the entire time so I know what part she played.  P.S.  NO end credit scene.

‘Krampus’ Movie Review

What an utterly dark and creepy movie depicted around Christmas with a somewhat recognizable cast. Some humor yet it was on the borderline of my tolerance of horror movies. There will probably be a sequel.
