Movie Review – ‘May December’
Loosely based on the story of schoolteacher Mary Kay Letourneau and her torrid affair with a 12 year old, May December ups the ante by turning a twosome into a psychological threesome with the addition of an actress researching the couple for her role as an infamous adulterer.
Netflix Movie Review – ‘Leo’
While the film falls off the rails in the back half, Leo finishes strong to make this another Sandler win for family films in 2023.
Movie Review – ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes’
Fans of the books will likely love the prequel to the original trilogy, but fans seeking to be entertained will be disappointed in the last third of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes that seemingly drags on far longer than the 2.5 hour running time.
Movie Review – ‘Thanksgiving’
Movie Review – ‘Trolls Band Together’
Trolls Band Together (2023) is rated PG. It’s an animated Trolls movie. There’s nothing objectionable.
Apple TV+ Series Review – ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’
Like many other Apple TV+ series, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is one that is beautifully filmed, but whose writing struggles to sustain an entire season. Perhaps if the show had more monsters, it might be a bit more interesting.
Movie Review – ‘The Marvels’
The Marvels (2023) is Rated PG-13 for people getting punched a lot, extinction-level catastrophes, flerkens and their never-ending appetites, and a planet that communicates solely by singing.
Movie Review – ‘Wineville’
Wineville (2023) is unrated and currently playing the film festival circuit. It would probably get given a R rating for swears, child sexual abuse, torture, stabbing, rending and poking, as well as suicide.
Movie Review – ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’
Five Nights at Freddy’s (2023) is rated PG-13 for black-eyed children, people getting slashed, stabbed, and shot, large menacing animatronics, child abduction, and assault in a public fountain.
