Parasite

No Comments

(5 Stars) An exceptionally well crafted movie that moves you through multiple emotions all while exploring the complexities of social class.

Marriage Story

No Comments

(4.5 Stars) A sometimes difficult movie to watch, but with powerful moments. The boundaries between love and hate are thin.

Two Popes

No Comments

(4 Stars) An intriguing portrait of two men arguing the nature of the Pope, the Church, and society.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

No Comments

(3.5 Stars) A movie Of Hollywood, By Hollywood, and, most importantly, FOR Hollywood!

Frozen II

No Comments

(2.5 Stars) As to be expected, terrific visuals. But the story is a little weak and the songs aren’t memorable.

Jojo Rabbit

No Comments

(3 Stars) Some good moments. But the movie doesn’t quite come together.

Knives Out

No Comments

(4 Stars) Does everything a mystery should do and then some. Sharp and witty.

Toy Story 4

No Comments

Klaus

No Comments

(3.5 Stars) A delightful family story with a terrific combination of animation styles.

Missing Link

1 Comment

(2.5 Stars) Has some terrific stop-motion animation scenes with rich backgrounds. Story-line a little weak, but a good family movie.

Ralph Breaks the Internet

No Comments

(4 Stars) Surprising animation with an imaginative visualization of the internet and a wonderful interlude with the Disney Princesses.

Incredibles 2

No Comments

(2 Stars) An outdated sequel that tries too hard to be relevant. Might be good for families with young children.

Christopher Robin

No Comments

(2.5 Stars) I’ve loved Eeyore all my life, but this movie doesn’t move me in any particular way. Might be appropriate for families with small children.

Mary Poppins Returns

No Comments

(2 Stars) Might be good for families, but most adults are going to ask ‘Who asked her to return?’

Vice

2 Comments

(3.5 Stars) Liberals will find humor and lots to support disliking Cheney. Conservatives, well, maybe you should avoid this one.

Green Book

No Comments

(4.5 Stars) Best Picture Winner and a compelling tale of two men, unlikely partners in a road-trip through the Deep South. One of the better movies of the year.
