Barbie Movie Review

With a storyline that works the angle of Barbie (Margot Robbie) becoming a sentient being who begins to question the reality of her surroundings, it opens the door for some very assertive social commentary. Ideas delivered with a sly wink via an effective monologue by America Ferrera. The fully colour-saturated look is as imbued with robust ideas as those words.   //   Casting Ryan Gosling as the Ken doll works well as he is unafraid to ham it up or play the fool and ...

Retro Movie Review – Sausage Party

It is so surprisingly crude, crass, creative, outrageous and funny, it is literally like nothing you have ever experienced before.

Its R rated status is complete vindicated and I would have loved to have ease dropped on the conversation of explanation between the father and his very young son that I saw attending the preview screening.   //   The ...

The acting is superlative throughout and the script delves deeply into what becomes of one’s life when they enter the second major chapter. It also examines how difficult it can be to re-create one’s self for that second chapter.   //   Arnold cares for Gloria but is trapped by the tentacles of the previous relationship with his ex-wife but also by the demands of his two needy daughters. The two have ...

Molly’s Game Movie Review

Molly was once a Olympic caliber athlete who rose to infamy after being arrested by the FBI for running illegal high-stakes poker games. The movie jumps from flash back views of Molly’s earlier life to present day scenes of the goings on between lawyers, their clients (in this case Molly) and government prosecutors.   //   The story is told with enough salient details that even those with no previous knowledge of the actual case can easily get ensnared in the infecti...
