Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. - Movie Review Critics Score - 9 of 10 General Audience Score - 8 of 10 Judy Blume is a beloved author who specializes in writing for children and young adults. She’s written several best sellers but what she’s perhaps best known for are some of the books she wrote in the early 1970’s that deal with the issues and challenges faced by young women, especially around the years of puberty. Arguably her most famous and beloved writing was a book entitled Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret., to which women everywhere praised for the way it assisted in teaching adolescent girls about their bodies and the changes they experience in reaching womanhood. The new film from Lionsgate of the same name as the book Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. is an incredible adaptation of page to screen, it’s able to capture the soft and gentle tone of the book impeccably well. And sure, the film may be a bit “girly” while it covers the nuances of dealing with the com

How To Blow Up A Pipeline - Movie Review Critics Score - 8 of 10 General Audience Score - 7 of 10 Anybody remember the Russell Crowe film from over a decade ago, The Next Three Days? That movie was fascinating in a particular way, it took a common plot device of countless TV shows and movies, a prison break, stripped it down and portrayed it in the most realistic way I’ve ever seen. Well a new movie from Neon does the same thing with a less common theme, creating an explosive device to blow up an oil company pipeline. I can’t imagine many oil company executives are excited to check out the simply titled How To Blow Up A Pipeline, but maybe they’ve got a morbid curiosity about how someone would go about it. This film lays that out, along with any and all motivations that someone would have to carry out such an attack, although it’s just for entertainment purposes, it does feel incredibly anti-gas and oil company and very pro-climate movement. Despite the film’s seemingly biased assessme

Still - Movie Review Critics Score - 7 of 10 General Audience Score - 6 of 10 As much as I have a tremendous love for movies, especially for many of the films I grew up with in the 1980’s and 1990’s, I’m rarely driven to research a movie to find out the stories behind how the movie was made, what the filming was like, problems they encountered, etc., like I would, say, for a popular song. Easily one of my favorite films from the 1980’s would be the original Back To The Future, the Robert Zemeckis directed and Steven Spielberg produced movie starring Michael J. Fox. But little did I know that BTTF had already been shooting when Zemeckis decided that Eric Stoltz wasn’t right for the part of Marty and recast Michael J. Fox for the role and had to reshoot all the scenes they’re already done with Stoltz. This was just one of the fantastic revelations brought to light in the new documentary Still, available to stream on Apple+ next Friday, May 12th. While the film centers around Fox, his dis
