Poltergeist (Quick Review)

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a review of 2015’s worst remake!

Mr. Holmes (Quick Review)

Mr. Homes is an engagingly subtle and endearingly sweet twist on the Sherlock Holmes lore, complete with a fantastic performance by Sir Ian McKellen as its title character.  The film (based on the book A Slight Trick of the Mind) tells a somewhat self-referential tale where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle never existed, yet his books and films do.  Here it’s the flesh and bones Dr. Watson who wrote the famous detective novels based upon his equally real colleague’s (Sherlock Holmes) detective cases—the stories all inflated to make the cases more dramatic.  Set in the late 1940s, the great detective is now an elderly, frail man (93 to be exact) with an ever-growing fuzzy memory.  In his late years, Holmes tries writing a non-exaggerated depiction of his final case, the very one that put an abrupt end to his detective career 30 years ago.  The only problem is Holmes’ memory, which has gotten so bad he needs to write names of familiar faces on his sleeves as reminders.  Roger (Milo Parker), a young housekeeper’s son fascinated with Holmes’ stories, grows close to the detective, assisting him in trying to remember the past case.

Maggie (Film Review)

In an era where zombie films are a dime a dozen, it’s always delightful to find one with a refreshing new spin, even if it’s one of extreme tragedy.

Terminator Genisys (Film Review)

I don’t understand, why such abysmal ratings?

Sick+Broken Computer=No Reviews Till Sunday :(

I've been sick five days in a row and it stinks!  Also my computer broke down (I'm using my wife's old one), which has required a lot of effort and exhaustion in regaining lost data.  Unfortunately there won't be any new reviews till Sunday, though by then I should (hopefully) be back on track and releasing double reviews Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evening!

I'm sorry for the wait, and I hope you have a great week!

Carol (Film Review)

Carol would have been a lot more momentous to cinema had the film been released a decade or two earlier.
