2018 Movie #41: Murder on the Orient Express

2018 Movie #41: Murder on the Orient Express

I watched this classic on a whim. I was in the mood for something older (which happens sometimes — I love old movies!), and this was streaming on Amazon. I grew up watching Hercules Poirot on PBS with my parents. There is a definite soft spot in my heart for...

2018 Movie #40: Incredibles 2

Okay, so the first Incredibles is one of my all-time favorite Pixar movies. For real. I remember watching that movie in theaters and being absolutely blown away by how fun and exciting and funny and just awesome it was to have a world where superheroes existed in the...

2018 Movie #39: Hannah Gladsby: Nanette

2018 Movie #36: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

2018 Movie #36: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Does the world need another Jurassic World movie? I mean, that’s really the question here, isn’t it? Are dinosaurs, Starlord, and Bryce Dallas enough to make it worth a visit to the theater? Kinda. THE BLURB: Three years after the destruction of the...
