Q-Tips Reviews

When a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, they become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.

Q-tips say: Decided to watch a scary movie since it’s almost Halloween. Did NOT think TALK TO ME was that good.

Mrs. Q says: Perhaps you should watch it, if you so desire, & decide for yourself if it is GOOD or NOT.

The story revolves around a ceramic hand that allows people to see lost souls. To use the hand, a candle must be lit and the words “Talk to me” must be repeated. The movie explores the consequences of playing with spirits and the manipulation of evil spirits, highlighting that not every lost soul is kind.

The film contains brief but extreme gory violence, perverse behavior, gruesome images, a couple of profanities, several milder oaths, pervasive rough and much crude language and fleeting sexual slang.

Three best friends become fathers later in life and find themselves battling preschool principals, millennial CEOs and anything created after 1987.

Q-tips say: Mediocre. It tries hard to be a throwback 90s comedy delivering its torrent of jokes about the culture clash between younger and older generations. Heavy in its criticism but sparse in its actual humor.

Mrs. Q says: This is one of those films that can only make a section of people laugh. Are you among them? If you enjoy watching 3 mid aged men trying to keep their friendships & seeing them at a strip bar, dinking, use pervasive language, nudity, and brief drug use this might be a movie for you.

Since her mother’s death, Dana has dedicated herself to Fullerton Airways and her mother’s dream of a regional airline providing critical services to remote Australian communities. The intrepid bush pilot juggles sightseeing flights with medical trips and mail drops, all while arguing with her father (Roy Billing) about balancing compassion with profits. Dana Randall is an ultra-committed pilot for non-profit air service, Fullerton Airways, located in picturesque Far North Queensland. Along with her father Jeff and mechanic BFF Nikki, the small team works together to provide the essential air services the local island communities relies on. When London based ITCM Financial representative William is sent to Fullerton Airways to review the organization’s financials, Dana welcomes him, aware that they rely heavily on his company’s subsidies. What Dana doesn’t know is that William’s audit is to confirm the business’s financial struggles and to prepare for its closure. As William spends time with Dana and the Island community, his loyalty is torn. He is falling for Dana and the feeling seems mutual… that is, until she accidentally discovers his true purpose.

Q-tips say: Yes, we did enjoy it. It is filmed in Australia so you get some wonderful scenery of Down Under to enjoy. Love is in the Air is a likeable and uplifting romantic comedy with charming and convincing performances at its heart.

This film won’t keep you anywhere near the edge of your seat. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Inspired by true events, when a handshake deal goes sour, funeral home owner Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) enlists charismatic, smooth-talking attorney Willie E. Gary (Jamie Foxx) to save his family business. Tempers flare and laughter ensues as the unlikely pair bond while exposing corporate corruption and racial injustice in this inspirational, triumphant story.

Q-tips say: YES, see it! “The Burial” remains true to its focus on race, class, and how capitalism exploits both regardless of a person’s color or financial means. The message is not subtly delivered, but it’s still effective.

Mrs. Q says: “The Burial” is a crowd-pleasing David versus Goliath social drama. Who knew that a legal battle about a funeral home could be this compelling?

Single mom Flora (Eve Hewson) is at a loss about what to do with her rebellious teenage son, Max (Orén Kinlan). Encouraged by the police to find Max a hobby, Flora tries to occupy him with a beat-up acoustic guitar. With the help of a washed-up LA musician (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Flora and Max discover the transformative power of music. “Flora and Son” explores the bond between a mother and son on a journey toward a new harmony.

Q-tips say: Yes, watch it! She is really amazing as a frustrated young mother who sparks interest in music. The songs and music were pretty good and it’s a pretty feel-good film. It has some minor flaws, but this film still is a nice little film which one might enjoy. What starts as a rocky, failed flirtation between Flora and her music teacher becomes a lovely sequence of a growing long-distance relationship.
