Just Mercy

This film was filled with so much heart and soul. Going into the theater, I was wondering how it was going to go as none of the marketing made me feel like I absolutely had to see the film. Well, it turns out that Just Mercy is a great film inspired by a true story. …

Knives Out

Judging by the trailer, Knives Out seems to have a Clue feeling to it. However, instead of being upfront and over the top with comedy, it just peppers it in as needed. It is a classic plot of a who done it. The tone is very different than what is portrayed in the trailers and…

The Good Liar

The Good Liar is a film that is paced very slowly and is dialog driven, but will keep you interested from the opening to the close. The story lies heavily on the performances of its 2 leads in Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren. The film follows a con man as he works his next job….

Magic Mike XXL

You know what you’re getting into when you buy a ticket for a movie like ‘Magic Mike XXL’. I mean come on, it’s a movie about male strippers…sorry male “entertainers”. Most of the movie is super attractive, muscular men dancing and removing clothes to a beat. It’s got a wonderful entertainment value for a woman!…
