The Grinch

Rated: PG
Release Date: November 9, 2018
Runtime: 1 hour 26 minutes
Directors: Yarrow Cheney, Scott Moiser
Featuring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Cameron Seely, Rashida Jones


     Okay, we should all know the story about this one. The citizens of a small town called Whoville, love Christmas a lot, the entire Christmas season. But, The Grinch, who lives just north of Whoville, does not. And no one knows why. Then, On Christmas Eve, he decides to try to steal Christmas.

     This version is different than the original animated, and Jim Carrey versions. One thing, there is no "Where are you Christmas?" song. And, It's hilarious! Parents, your kids are gonna enjoy this one!

B+

Bohemian Rhapsody

 
 Rated: PG-13
Release Date: November 2, 2018
Runtime: 2 hours 14 minutes
Director: Bryan Singer
Starring: Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton

      This movie, is a great movie. It is without a doubt, the best movie of the year in my opinion. It chronicles the life of the late singer Freddie Mercury leading up to Queen's legendary appearance at the 1985 Live Aid concert. This is how, a biography should be told on the big screen properly. You gotta have passion, you gotta have knowledge of the story of the person your making your movie about. Now, I get that you can't include EVERY single thing that the person did, just include the basics.


     Raimi Malek stars as the late singer, and I think he does a fantastic job! I think he should (or will) win an oscar for his performance! Also, the best part, is the ending. It made so emotional, I started to tear up a little bit. Parents, I don't think your little ones will be interested but, your older ones, maybe. But if they are, I think they're gonna love it! I know I did

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

Rated: PG
Release Date: November 2 , 2018
Runtime: 1 hour 39 minutes
Directors: Lasse Hallstrom, Joe Johnston
Starring: Mackenzie Foy, Keira Knightley, Morgan Freeman

 (sigh)...Another fantastic movie that's being trashed by critics on Youtube. I don't get why they all hate this movie that's based on The Nutcracker ballet that's about a young girl named Clara, who discovers a magical land of gingerbread soldiers and an army of mice. Also, she discovers that her late mother was once the queen of the land. Now, she must protect it from danger, and retrieve a key she received from her godfather that disappeared into that world. Again, I don't understand why Youtube critics hate it. The Visuals are stunning, I  think there's a Chronicles of Narnia feel to it (specifically The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe), and Parents, I think your kids are gonna love it! and on top of that, I think It's family fun for everyone! Again I don't understand why! I bet it's because they have no soft-spots for family-friendly movies! and it definitely deserves a better critics rating than that 34% on Rotten Tomatoes.

A+

First Man

Rated: PG-13

 Release Date: October 12, 2018

Runtime: 2 hours 21 minutes

Director: Damien Chazelle

Starring: Ryan Gosling, Claire Foy

     This movie, is a great movie. It's about the life of Neil Armstrong, and the famous space mission leading him to becoming the first man on the moon. My dad was around when the events of this film happened, and it sure did bring back a lot of memories for him. I believe he was in south africa, when the actual Apollo 11 mission happened. Both of us loved the movie, and I think it's one of the years best films. Parents, I have to admit, I don't know what to say about whether or not I should recommend you taking your little ones to this film, but I think your older kids might enjoy it.

Final Grade:

A+

Venom

Rated: PG-13
Release Date: October 5, 2018
Director: Reuben Fleischer
Starring: Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed


     I think I just saw a movie that's hated by critics, but loved by audiences. You just simply can't always rely on the professionals, to give you an accurate review on a particular movie. This film is about a reporter named Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), who encounters A symbiote named Venom. Now Venom, is the villain/anti-hero in the Spider-Man franchise. The film is a little violent and parents, because of this, please do whatever you can, make your little ones avoid this picture, at all costs!  The studio was originally shooting for an R rating, but had edit the film down to a PG-13. Overall, it's not a bad movie





Final Rating:
B+

Hello Everyone, and welcome to my blog! As you can see, I decided to make a big change to my blog. It is no longer called The Pore Productions, it is now called Missouri Movie Lover.

Also, the blog also has a new web address. The web address is: www.reviews.missourimovielover.com. hope you like this new name, and can't wait to review movies with it!

The House With A Clock In It's Walls

Rated: PG

Release Date: September 21, 2018

Runtime: 1 hour 44 mintues

Director: Eli Roth

Starring: Jack Black, Cate Blanchett

         This Family-Friendly halloween-themed movie is about a young orphan named Louis, who helps his uncle (Black), and his neighbor (Blanchett), locate a clock that's hiding inside his home. And, stop a man from using it to carry out his evil plan. It's a good movie, there were some parts that made some of the other people in the theater laugh, and I suggest that you go check it out! However, in one of the Youtube reviews that I saw for this movie, the people reviewing it pointing out that it can introduce children, to the horror genre. Not to mention the fact that, it was directed by a filmmaker, that's done a lot of R-rated horror. Although, this movie is rated PG, but there are some scenes that do fall into that category.

Final Grade:

A
