I am woman, hear me roar! Except in a movie theater. That’s just rude.

Thor: Ragnarok – a rockin’ good time
Nutshell: Taika Waititi swings and hits it out of the gladiatorial ballpark with this laugh out loud action adventure. Hemsworth is game as a newly hammerless (but not humorless) God of Thunder, Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie more than keeps up with … Continue reading
“All I See Is You”
Nutshell: Blake Lively deserves an incredible film worthy of her talents. You gets nearer to that goal, but still doesn’t make it. Weird, suspenseful and fascinating, yet this film drowns in it’s own sense of grandeur. Grade: C+ What is … Continue reading
“Thank You For Your Service” is a must-add to your watch list
Nutshell: Jason Hall tells a story about three men returning home from Iraq, and turns it into a rallying cry for better post-service care for our Military. Intense wartime scenes blend with heartbreaking realities after the characters come home, and … Continue reading
“Happy Death Day” – a movie definitely worth celebrating
Nutshell: Fun, freaky and sometimes frightening, this movie blends horror and comedy expertly. Kudos to the director, screenwriter, and the amazing Jessica Rothe as the coed who keeps getting killed. You won’t find a better multiplex movie to celebrate Friday … Continue reading

7 Pieces Of: “Battle of the Sexes”
Nutshell: Seriou, funny, riveting and real, Battle of the Sexes digs into the lives of two tennis superstars and paints a picture of the era…and problems in our world we still seem to be grappling with. Grade: A- “Time to … Continue reading
“It” floats just as well as the original
Nutshell: This reboot/remake of the 1990 TV miniseries has a different feel to it, but dammit if it doesn’t pack a punch. A young cast full of poised-to-break-out stars, a director who knows how to handle the spooky, and a … Continue reading

“Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets” – beautiful, messy
Nutshell: Dazzling, beautiful, uneven. The lightning-in-a-bottle that was Besson’s The Fifth Element doesn’t strike twice here, even though the visuals and world-building magic is definitely present and accounted for. It’s as if with Valerian, Besson focused more on the universe … Continue reading
“Wish Upon” – a drinking game waiting to happen.
Sometimes I’m too lazy for a full-out piece. Sometimes everything I’ve got to say about a film can be summarized in a sentence or two. Sometimes it’s both. So herewith, a quick-n-dirty on…Wish Upon! Nutshell: It’s fun when a horror … Continue reading

“War for the Planet of the Apes” is the APE-x of this series
Nutshell: Literally awe-inspiring. Director Matt Reeves and an incredibly talented group of motion capture and live action performers deliver a meditation on what it means to be human…and how humanity isn’t something you’re born with by simple genetics, but something … Continue reading

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” slings lots of fun and tons of heart
Nutshell: Another revamp of the Spider-Man story? Yep. And this time it’s a keeper. As a young man with extraordinary powers, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker is definitely a marvel. And this (sorta)solo outing does the character and MCU justice. Welcome … Continue reading
