Andrea’s Angle | “Fast X” – Big Explosions, So-So Story
I’ve enjoyed most of the “Fast and Furious” films. Mostly I go for the action, but I also love the theme of found family and the fact that the women in the films get to be as big and bad as the men. So I was absolutely excited to see Fast X in the theater…

Andrea’s Angle | “It Ain’t Over” – Superb Depiction of a Cultural Icon
For me, I’d heard the name Yogi Berra, and I certainly knew of his association with baseball, but I wanted to watch this film to learn more about the man. Yogi Berra (Lawrence Berra) was a cultural icon but not as well known for his skills as he should have been. After watching this superb…

Andrea’s Angle | “Carmen” – Beautiful Performances, but Confusing
I was really looking forward to this film that reimagines the opera, Carmen. I love classical music and operatic dramas, so I was interested to see what a modern retelling would do with the story. While the dancing and music are beautifully executed, with most of the music original to the film and the actors’…

Andrea’s Angle | “Book Club: The Next Chapter” – Fun and Endearing
One of the elements I liked the best when I was thinking about this film was that it focuses on a much-neglected group, older women. As a woman who is creeping higher in age myself, I appreciate a story that I can relate to and that shows there’s life in your seventies. So I went…

Andrea’s Angle | “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret” – Beautifully Endearing
I grew up with Judy Blume in the seventies. I especially remember reading this book among others, and the scenes from it provided me with a connection at a time I needed it, during puberty. What I was most concerned with in watching this movie was whether it could capture the unique quality of Judy…

Andrea’s Angle | “Polite Society” – Jane Austen Meets Bollywood Fun
From the second I saw the trailers for this movie, I wanted to see it. It looked like a combination of several types of films I like, incorporating martial arts and Bollywood style. It looked fun.

Andrea’s Angle | “Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant” – Fulfills Promise
When I saw the trailers for this film, it looked promising. I also happen to like Guy Ritchie’s style of filmmaking, but he is known more for fast-paced, fun action films. This promised to be a more serious drama, so I wondered how his style would blend with the premise of the movie. With a…

Andrea’s Angle | “Judy Blume Forever” – A Revelation

Andrea’s Angle | “On a Wing and a Prayer” – Feel Good Story, Heavy-Handed Message

Andrea’s Angle | “A Good Person” – Emotionally Gut-Wrenching
When I first heard about this film, I was excited. I have rarely watched a movie with Morgan Freeman in it that isn’t good.

Andrea’s Angle | “Inside” – Artistic Performance
