‘All the Money in the World’ Movie Review

I was hoping this film was a close depiction of the true story but it not yet it’s still a good movie.  I read up on the facts of the movie and the details surrounding the kidnapping and death of the elder Getty are not true to fact.  The kidnapping is before my time yet it is intriguing and movie held my attention and me wanting to know how this turns out.  Great acting.

‘Father Figures’ Movie Review

Fraternal male twins seek to find their father after their mom refuses to tell them who fathered them. It’s a comical journey of each man they find as they begin to hope that “he’s” the one. Becoming a parent is sometimes born from the heart. The storyline could have been funnier yet there are some laughs.

‘Downsizing’ Movie Review

I really had low expectations going in yet I enjoyed this 2 hour movie like it was two different movies. The first hour was more humorous; the second hour hits on a serious issue (preserving this Earth and humanity) and love. I enjoyed the performance of the character, Ngoc Lan Tran.

‘Pitch Perfect 3’ Movie Review

We have round 3 of our favorite Bellas. They’re all grown up and still have the chemistry, voices and humor. A few new ladies have joined and sport the same beautiful vices. For whatever reason, action scenes were brought in yet they were not needed. I feel if they stick to the original premise of this franchise, the Bellas will hit the big screen till infinity, LOL.

‘The Shape of Water’ Movie Review

Although the genre is not identified as sci-fi that’s what I would label it.  This is of course an odd pairing…an water monster and a mute cleaning lady.  Well, loves blossoms between the two yet there’s a hunter who wants the monster under his control.  There’s  a little humor along the way.

‘The Greatest Showman’ Movie Review

I didn’t have any expectations of liking this musical yet I went to see it. I was pleasantly surprised to have liked the music and the storyline essentially about people that society would label as weird. Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum.

‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ Movie Review

I vaguely remember the original Jumanji and I was hoping this reboot made it their own…and they did.  Very funny movie (especially Kevin Hart scenes) with lots of fun adventurous scenes that have a beautiful Hawaiian backdrop.  There’s a bit of profanity and I thought a little too much exaggeration on the transformation of body “part” from the teenage girl to a middle age man.  I saw it in Real D 3D and it was pretty good.  Some of the cgi is a bit cheesy.

‘Wonder Wheel’ Movie Review

This movie didn’t look like a movie…it looked “stagy” like a Play especially when the lighting gets very bright in scenes and then dims down.  The storyline held my attention yet I knew the ending would be what it was NO SPOILERS. Every character has a problem of their own.  Kate’s acting was good along with the character Carolina the others were mediocre.

‘Ferdinand’ Movie Review

Definitely cute enough that children will love it and families alike.  The humor and storyline isn’t all that exciting to engage adults.  I saw it in 3D and you don’t have to pay the extra bucks to enjoy it visually.
