Is Liam Neeson’s latest action film worth a date night? Yes! “Cold Pursuit” stars unlikely but universally beloved macho man Liam Neeson. It adds clever twists, dark humor and wildly inventive bad guys to the mix, making this feel like a worthy heir to the Coen Brothers’ classic “Fargo.” The lack of romance is compensated […]
Is “Isn’t it Romantic,” the latest romantic comedy to hit the theater, worth a date night? Yes! This incredibly funny and inventive spoof of romantic comedies is boosted immensely by the terrific lead performance of lead actress Rebel Wilson of “Pitch Perfect” fame. The movie is tastefully done to boot! It’s pitch perfect for any […]
Is “Fighting With My Family” worth a date night this weekend? Absolutely. Granted, this movie isn’t a romance. Instead, it’s the true story of the WWE’s first female superstar wrestler. The movie is surprisingly funny, touching and inspiring. None of us gets the chance to choose the family we’re born into. The new movie “Fighting […]
Is “Captain Marvel” worth a date night? Yes! The umpteenth Marvel superhero movie keeps things fresh. It’s the first film ever to be led by a female superhero. Viewers will love the often funny rapport between stars Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson. The movie is set in 1995, giving it a string of fun […]
Is “Five Feet Apart” worth a date night at your local movie theater this weekend? Yes. . . but bring your tissues. This tear jerking romance follows two teens as they fall in love while getting treated for cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a disease that requires the couple to stay at least five feet […]
Is the new movie “Us” worth a date night this weekend? No, don’t waste your time. This film is the followup to writer-director Jordan Peele’s “Get Out.” It delivers some scares and occasional laughs, but the plot is alternately simplistic, convoluted, and ultimately illogical. Add in frequent hyper-violence and this is one film that’s more […]
Is “Unplanned,” the new indie Christian film worth a date night? Yes . . . but it’s also emotionally wrenching at times. This surprisingly well-made film tells the story of Abby Johnson. She’s a Planned Parenthood clinic manager who became the organization’s worst nightmare when she quit and spread the word on the horrific realities of […]
Is “Shazam” worth a date night this weekend? Yes! In what may be my favorite movie of the year so far, this superhero movie mixes together the best elements of classics “Big” “Ghostbusters” and the original Christopher Reeve “Superman” film. It creates a hilarious, thrilling, and even touching experience all its own. Zach Levi might […]
Is “Breakthrough” worth a date night? Yes! This true-life tale shares the incredible story of John Smith. He’s a 14-year-old boy whose mother’s prayers brought him back to life after being clinically dead for an hour. His amazing recovery from there serves as an inspirational miracle story for our times. Easter weekend is the perfect […]
Is “The Curse of La Llorana” worth a Spring date night? Yes! This film is a surprisingly fun entry in “The Conjuring” universe of films. It’s a spin-off about a single mom who teams up with a former priest to battle against a demonic legend. This movie is also somewhat less terrifying than the other […]
