"The Addams Family 2" is a mediocre but still entertaining sequel to MGM's 2019 hit "The Addams Family." Directors Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan were held over from the first film, and did an acceptable job here. Screenwriters Dan Hernandez, Benji Samit, Ben Queen, and Susanna [..]
Shazam! (2019)
Zachary Levi delivers an entertaining performance as a teenager who is suddenly transformed into a superhero named "Shazam!" Levi brings his light and breezy and non-pretentious personality to this role; he played a similar part as Chuck Bartowski on NBC's "Chuck" from 2007 to 2012. [..]
Run the Race (2019)
"Run the Race" is an inspiring faith-based movie telling the story of two teenage brothers actively involved in high school athletics who must also cope with their mother's death and their father's subsequent desertion of the family. They are living with their grandmother. [..]
Dumbo (2019)
Walt Disney Pictures hired director Tim Burton ("Pee-wee's Big Adventure" 1985) to create a modern day, live action movie version of the animated classic "Dumbo."

Tolkien (2019)
"Tolkien" is a dry and dull film about the early life of author J. R. R. Tolkien that only the most die hard fans of his work would appreciate. Finnish director Dome Karukoski was in charge of this project, most likely one of the few major motion [..]
Child’s Play (2019)
If you want to waste ninety minutes of your time, go see "Child's Play." A silly storyline and extremely violent images rule the day in this remake of the 1988 movie of the same name that introduced the evil Chucky the doll to modern culture. [..]
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)
The apex of Sergio Leone's career came with "Once Upon a Time in the West," a movie many consider to be one of the greatest motion pictures of all time. It certainly has all of the ingredients of a timeless cinematic classic: Great performances by big [..]
Once Upon a Time in Venice (2017)
Bruce Willis' career has hit a new low in "Once Upon a Time in Venice." This horribly written comedy action picture is about a private detective whose dog is kidnapped by gang members. The man responsible for this debacle is first time director Mark Cullen, who [..]
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
The comedy-drama film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is without a doubt the best movie of 2019. It was nominated for ten Academy Awards, winning two: Best Production Design and Brad Pitt for Best Supporting Actor. Producer-director-screenwriter Quentin Tarantino designed this picture that is [..]
The Kitchen (2019)
"The Kitchen" tells the story of three wives of Irish Mob hoods who must take over crime operations when their husbands are imprisoned. This film is marked by poor character development, an uneven plot, bad acting, and a sluggish storyline. Credit goes to director-screenwriter Andrea [..]
