Secret Headquarters (2022)
Fun and Entertaining - Solid Family Movie
Have no idea why this movie is getting so much hate. My husband and I thought we would try it and found it so nice that it wasn't full of the usual crude humor that seems to rule in kid and adult movies these days. Thought all the kids' performances were great as was the ensemble cast. Wilson, Pena and Williams also gave solid performances. Is it the most original story? No. But what it lacks in originality it makes up in real heart...a feeling of connection between the characters. We really enjoyed it. The acting was good enough to believe these kids were actually friends. And the humor wasn't that trying hard over the top humor. We have watched so many Marvel movies that bored us to tears. This movie is far above most of the last of those we've seen. We liked the humor, the pacing, the performances, the music (although some of the tracks were hilariously old for kids to be listening to!), and the CGI. We had zero expectations when we started watching it. We were surprised and delighted to see a solid family movie. Good job cast and crew! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wander (2020)
Suspense and a Bit of Usual Suspects' Keyser Soze in Reverse
Not sure why this movie has such bad ratings. The acting is so good...Aaron Eckhart really feels unstable. The setting, music...great. The suspense and pacing works better than so many other psychological thriller type movies. My husband and I felt the way it was filmed (the shaky cam that is so popular these days) plus sweeping shots were distracting at times, but not bad enough to quit watching. Open loops were tied up at the end too...as in, why is it so easy for this guy to get around town?
We didn't find it confusing...more riveting because you think it's one thing then you question what you think and then we said...ah...we were right!!! Great fun and a nice hour and a half movie with a great cast. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Venom (2018)
A Fun Ride
I wasn't really sure about going to see this movie. But my husband wanted to see it. I was pleasantly surprised! It was really funny. Tom Hardy did a great job acting genuinely surprised by what had overtaken him! Michelle Williams did a great job although her hair looks so fake. Best of all for me was the music and the action moving together. In the last few years the music in these films has been so disjointed and jarring that it has really impacted my ability to enjoy these action films. But this film got it all right! I am so grateful to see a good movie out of the Marvel Universe! This movie did not feel long at all... YAY!!! Stan Lee is one of my personal heroes and this movie did the MU justice! Can't wait to see the next Venom.
