Emma Stone doesn’t see spots; she sees style and character as the Disney villainess. The Disney animated “101 Dalmatians” from 1961 was a childhood favorite of mine for all the right reasons. It also crafted one of the most iconic… Read More ›
Prequel
Dark Phoenix
Sorry fans, but this “X-Men” sequel bored and irritated me. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve been told that “Dark Phoenix” would be the last of the “X-Men” prequels. If I’m wrong, please let me know, because I don’t know… Read More ›
Bumblebee
I am impressed with how wonderful of a young actress Hailee Steinfeld has proven herself to be, and my mother loves the yellow Autobot Bumblebee. The “Transformers” prequel spin-off, “Bumblebee,” offers tender moments between these two. And when we’re looking… Read More ›
The Nun
I’ve enjoyed the original “Conjuring” movie in 2013, but ever since, there hasn’t been a single spin-off or prequel to be better. Not the “Annabelle” movies nor the latest prequel “The Nun.” They’re not terrible movies, because they have some… Read More ›
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

The First Purge
As much as the last “Purge” movie (“Election Year”) sucked, we all know how it ends. The annual event, in which all crime, including murder, is legal, has come to an end, and it should have ceased in becoming a… Read More ›
Solo: A Star Wars Story
I was given a private screening of “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” so I was able to write most of my review of it on my iPhone. It started off with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (the two geniuses behind… Read More ›
Annabelle: Creation
I wasn’t a fan of the original “Annabelle” from 2014, which was a spin-off of “The Conjuring.” I felt it had potential, but somehow, it never really seemed to deliver (review can be found in my Crappy Past page). I… Read More ›
Alien: Covenant
In my review of last March’s alien bomb “Life,” I predicted Ridley Scott’s “Alien: Covenant” would be more entertaining, and I was right. In fact, it’s more entertaining than Scott’s predecessor “Prometheus.” This sequel of the prequel to the “Alien”… Read More ›
