January Movies Part 2

I've seen 2 more movies since my last January post.  I actually thought I'd see more . BumbleBee, The Boy Who Would Be King 

Oscars 2019

  I think I did a pretty good job of getting to see most of this year's nominated films. I only missed 6 of the nominated films.  I have tickets for Beale Street this Thursday;  thankfully Roma and Ballad of Buster Scruggs are on Netflix; I never heard of Cold War, At Eternity's Gate or  the animated movie Marai until awards season so I'm hoping AMC will show them. I've marked my Predictions ⭐  my favorites 👑   My strongest vote is for Glenn Close in The Wife, I know all the Lady Gaga fans will boo however Glenn's performance was incredible.
Strange side note: I copied the layout I used for the 2017 Oscars and Mahershala Ali was in the exact same place.  I really don't understand how he's the supporting actor but that's why I'm not in Hollywood.

January Movies

We usually try to see at least two movies a week thanks to our AMC A-List passes.   I plan to update weekly on what we've seen starting in February.

Movie Review: Gifted

Oh how I have missed screening movies!  I've been out of the loop these last 4 weeks but now I'm back. I screened the new Chris Evans' movie Gifted.  First impression from trailers was that it looks nice but I won't spend the money to see it.  So what did I think after screening it?

My Oscar 2017 Predictions

     I think I did a pretty good job of getting to see most of this year's nominated films. In the main categories I missed Moonlight, Elle didn't play here and 20th Century Women just didn't interest me.  Surprisingly I haven't seen two of the Animated Features. The one I'm most disappointed about missing was Moonlight  :( I've marked my Predictions with ⭐ and my favorites with 👑

Movie Review: A Cure For Wellness

My original plan for the weekend was to see United Kingdom, but it's not playing by me yet.  When we first saw the preview for A Cure For Wellness I was not impressed.  Then I saw another one and thought okay, maybe if nothing else is out that weekend.  SirP called today and saw the movie last night and said he really enjoyed the thriller/suspense.  My first instincts were right.

Movie Reviews: Fist Fight and The Wall

I got to attend two screenings this week.  They weren't horrible but they weren't incredible.  They're both out in theaters this weekend and here's what I think.

Review: John Wick 2

I never heard of John Wick prior to seeing a trailer for John Wick 2 back in October.  When I received the screening tickets I wasn't even sure if I was going to use them until a friend was extremely excited to see the movie.

Review: Lego Batman

I love animated movies, but to be honest wasn't all that impressed with The Lego movie that came out a few years ago.  My original plan was to wait and see Lego Batman on the small screen.  Then I received Screening Passes, and I'm not about to pass that opportunity up.

Review: The Founder

We first saw a preview for The Founder on April 30, 2016.  This movie's release was pushed so often I thought it had been pulled.  Before we get started I wanted to let you know that according to History Vs. Hollywood, The Founder stayed very true to the facts.  

A Dog's Purpose ~ The other story

In the hours since I have written my review of the movie A Dog's Purpose a disturbing video has been posted by TMZ regarding the German Shepard (Hercules). How did this happen? I am not posting the video.

Movie Review: A Dog's Purpose

Every now and then I get tickets for movie screenings and tonight I attended one for A Dog's Purpose due out in theaters January 27th. (Thank you Universal Pictures) Animal Lovers get ready.... UPDATE here is my reaction to the video released on animal treatment during the filming

Lost Reviews Part 2: Fences and Hidden Figures

As promised here's my last two lost reviews combined in one post.  No more outside scheduling attempts for me. For your perusal my take on Fences and Hidden Figures

Lost reviews Part 1: La La Land and Manchester By The Sea

It wasn't until a friend commented on my review of Jackie asking about two movies I had already reviewed did I realize that those posts didn't publish. (That's what I get for trying something new with the scheduling app) Instead of publishing four separate reviews I'm condensing them into two posts.  Today I'll share my thoughts on the first two I saw La La Land and Manchester By The Sea.

Movie Review: Jackie

It drives me nuts that movies are nominated for awards (Golden Globes for instance) before they've been released.  Jackie was released January 12th and we were there.

Must Have Movie App: RunPee

If you follow my blog you know a few things about me.  I love movies and I visit the restroom ~ often.  Those two things do not go together very well. That is until I found this great app.

Movie Issues (minor Rant) and Review: Home

Yesterday we saw Dream Works latest animation Home.  We also saw people behaving like idiots and a preview for a movie even Hubby won't be seeing.

Movie Review/Preview: The Water Diviner

The Water Diviner is a Warner Brothers film which I received free passes period paragraph.  These were tickets available to the general public; I am reviewing this as I do most of the movies I attend.

Movie Review: Cinderella

     Disney has discovered a brilliant new way to re-market all of their beloved classics animated movies ~ turn them into Live Action movies.

Movie Review: The Second Best Marigold Hotel #LoveBlooms

There are times when you leave a theatre and you just know they're planning a sequel and you wonder why.  Then there are those rare times when you wish you could spend a bit more time with the characters you just enjoyed so much.  The Best Marigold Hotel falls in the latter category and thankfully with the release of its sequel this weekend we can visit everyone once again.
