“Victoria and Abdul” | Movie Review by Andrea Rittschof
I’ve been anticipating this film ever since I saw the trailer. First, it’s a historical film, which I love. Second, it features Queen Victoria with the famed Dame Judi Dench reprising her portrayal from the film, Mrs. Brown. Last, it shines a light on a mostly forgotten relationship between the Queen and a citizen of…

Battle of the Sexes | Movie Review
Quick Take: It’s always a tricky thing to tell a story, particularly when everyone knows the ending, in a way worth watching. There’s not “reveal” to lure the audience into waiting for, no “twist” in the plot that’ll shock and captivate. But giving people a meaning look at a slice of someone’s life? Not nearly…

Kingsman: The Golden Circle | Movie Review
Kingsman: The Golden Circle returned to the world of spy-craft, high tech cloak and dagger, and fine tailoring. The movie released on the 22nd of September and after watching it, I almost decided to pass on posting a review. You see I have a strange relationship with Matthew Vaughn. He’s produced some movies I’m absurdly…

You can watch “After Trek”, after “Trek!”

Friend Request | Movie Review
In a society where people live their entire lives online, a horror movie that capitalizes on the overly socially connected for its story is not really a shocker. One that manages to realistically leverage horror movie tricks and a creepy story concept to its advantage? Now that’s a whole other story… College sophomore, Laura’s (Alycia…

The LEGO Ninjago Movie | Review
The LEGO movie franchise returns to the big screen with Ninjago. This time the bloodthirsty warlord Garmadon – and his family – take center stage. The movie starts out great: socially awkward elementary school-age boy enters antique shop, meets owner after almost breaking precious items and it treated to a fable. It’s got a nice 80s…

All that glitters is the Golden Circle for the new “Kingsman”
Sequels can be a tricky thing. One of the worst traps that many studios fall in to is the “I’ll make it bigger next time.” The only problem is while they may go out of their way to make it bigger and louder, most of the time the movie falls apart because it was never…

American Assassin | Movie Review
American Assassin is the movie-going worlds introduction to Mitch Rapp (Dylan O’Brien) main character from the novels of Vince Flynn. Mitch is your typical anti-hero. It’s not just that he’s a picture perfect example of a ill-adjusted white guy in need of intense therapy to learn to cope with the horribly tragic event that forever altered the trajectory…

“IT” | Movie Review
It is known (yes, I see what I did there) that most early film adaptations of Stephen King novels leave much to be desired or often fail to capture the essential elements that make the book iconic and addictive. Many eventually acquire a cult following but most failed “to hit” in theaters. Choosing to revitalize…
