Q-tips say: Yes, we did enjoy!

Tina Turner’s gritty vocals, high-octane performances, and award-winning platinum hits are unforgettable.

Cameron Edwin (Jim Gaffigan), the host of a failing children’s science TV show called “Above & Beyond”, has always had aspirations of being an astronaut. After a mysterious space-race era satellite coincidentally falls from space and lands in his backyard, his midlife crisis manifests in a plan to rebuild the machine into his dream rocket. As his relationship with his wife (Rhea Seehorn) and daughter (Katelyn Nacon) start to strain, surreal events begin unfolding around him — a doppelgänger moving into the house next door, a car falling from the sky, and an unusual teenage boy forging a friendship with him. He slowly starts to piece these events together to ultimately reveal that there’s more to his life story than he once thought.

Q-tips say: It was just ok.

The production contributes to the feeling of a surrealist adventure that toggles between satirical comedy and something darker and much heavier. A muddled tract about middle-age malaise… We grant some license to arthouse films for trying stuff that’s unusual and different from mainstream fare – and bless them all – but this noble attempt simply fails to take off.

Heart of a Champion is a heartwarming family film. A 14-year-old coping with the divorce of her parents, a new school and typical teenage growing pains finds purpose and pride in a lost horse she cares for and trains for a state competition.

Q-tips say: Yes, we did enjoy it!

if you are looking for a new kind of kick with a galloping pace, know that the minutes run away like wild horses when your ride with this film. [Brad] Keller and his crew in Dallas, where this was shot, have made a unique family picture.

Heart of a Champion’s content is very family friendly.

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin star as estranged friends who reunite to seek revenge on the petulant widower (Malcolm McDowell) of their recently deceased best friend. Along the way, Fonda’s character reunites with her great love (Richard Roundtree) as each woman learns to make peace with the past and each other.

Q-tips say: We kind of enjoyed it but not as much as anticipated. Some parts were funny but overall not that exciting. Was nice to see long time friends getting back together & remembering old times & creating new experiences again.

Even as the promising puzzle pieces don’t quite gel together, the experience still provides a refreshingly morbid comedy bolstered by the radiant talents of the stars.

Businesswoman Janie is falling apart at the thought of becoming a mom, then has a chance meeting with an angel.

Q-tips say: We did enjoy this movie but not as much as anticipated.

A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brings the rich world and playful spirit of the legendary roleplaying game to the big screen in a hilarious and action-packed adventure.

Q-tips say: We did enjoy it! It may not for everyone but we did enjoy. The movie is popcorn japery (old-fashioned term for goofing around and generally acting like a clown) in fine form: Swords against sorcery, sorcery against monsters, monsters against swords, and around and around, while the charismatic cast slam-bangs the consistently amusing setup/one-liner dialogue.

A community comes together to organize a miracle for a teen who’s battling an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Q-tips say: Yes, see it. We really liked this wonderful movie.

This movie is everything you want an inspirational, faith-based film to be. What impressed me about the story is Brycen’s good spirits and generosity even as he faces setback after setback.

A once-successful P.R. specialist deals with the trials and tribulations of managing a local grocery store known as The Yellow Bird while struggling with his loveless marriage, an unhappy stepdaughter and his own sobriety.

Q-tips say: Yes, we did enjoy it! A good story.

Chantilly Bridge reunites a group of lifelong, steadfast friends who are still — in their later years — chasing their dreams, fighting injustices, and sticking up for their convictions. The women lay bare their lives and deal with important issues that impact all women with humor, humility, humanity, and love. No topic escapes the razor-like wit and insight of these women: equality, sex, menopause, mortality, feminism, parenthood, careers, love, and even “me-too” moments. While women often feel invisible in the world, this film highlights who they are and what they care about. We experience what women are truly like and what they discuss in a setting where no men are present. Chantilly Bridge is also about reconnecting with old friends from the past and the beauty of a shared history.

Q-tips say: Yes, we did enjoy this movie.

The Mr. said: A nice chick flick. But the Mrs. thinks it could be a nice “Dude” flick if the actors were men.

Mrs. Q says: A warm, wise, tender and well-acted story about female friendship. A good portrayal of female characters; honest and candid portrayal of the issues that affect women of all ages and backgrounds. Thank you for reminding us of the love and strength true friends provide in the most difficult moments in our lives!

JESUS REVOLUTION is the story of one young hippie’s quest in the 1970s for belonging and liberation that leads not only to peace, love, and rock and roll, but that sets into motion a new counterculture crusade–a Jesus Movement–changing the course of history. Inspired by a true movement, JESUS REVOLUTION tells the story of a young Greg Laurie (Joel Courtney) being raised by his struggling mother, Charlene (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) in the 1970s. Laurie and a sea of young people descend on sunny Southern California to redefine truth through all means of liberation. Inadvertently, Laurie meets Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), a charismatic hippie-street-preacher, and Pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer) who have thrown open the doors of Smith’s languishing church to a stream of wandering youth. What unfolds becomes the greatest spiritual awakening in American history. Rock and roll, newfound love, and a twist of faith lead to a JESUS REVOLUTION that turns one counterculture movement into a revival that changes the world.

Q-tips say: Yes, see it! We did enjoy this movie. Many of us might remember the hippy years & some of the music also.

One of the most appealing faith-based big-screen entertainments in a while, polished and persuasive without getting too preachy & yes, some humor.

The movie movie was uplifting & moved us. We need this in our misguided world today. 

Mrs. Q says: Great message, well made movie with a history lesson tied into it & the movie was even better than I thought it would be!
