“Insidious: The Last Key”: tired tropes combine with new twists
Nutshell: There’s no doubt that Lin Shaye is an incredible actress that brings top-notch talent to this series as psychic-in-charge Elise. There is, however, serious doubt that this series can continue, considering how it scrapes up the usual jump scares … Continue reading
“The Post” – a historical drama that’s all too relevant today
Nutshell: Dynamic performances, and a story about a moment in the Nixon White House where the POTUS tried to break the First Amendment. Echoes of the current administration can’t be denied. Definitely one of my Top 10 films of 2017. … Continue reading
“The Shape of Water” – sparkes but doesn’t fully set sail
Nutshell: While Shape is a fascinating story with absolutely incredible performances by Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon and Octavia Spencer, it has neither the sense of wonder of Pan’s Labyrinth, nor the suspense of The Devil’s Backbone. But I can’t say … Continue reading

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
