    Creed III Review

    Confession time: I have not seen the previous Creed movies. I watched half of the first one, and bought parts 1 and 2, but have never had the time to sit down and watch them. This was corrected after I watched Creed III in IMAX earlier this week. I will say that while it is…

    Ant-Man & The Wasp Quantumania Review

    As a parent, our time is limited compared to that of our children. We spend too many hours at work. We spend too many hours driving our kids from one activity to another and then the day ends and pretty much repeats throughout the month. It’s only when we sit down and take a moment…

    Skinamarink Review

    In Paranormal Activity 3, there is a scene where the father attaches a video camera to an oscillating fan. As the view moves from left to right the anticipation builds as we go from one side of the room to the other. We do not know what we are going to see when the view…
