All the Bright Places
I will begin by saying the new film “All the Bright Places” is not exactly the cheeriest story ever told, but it’s still touching. The film is based on the young adult novel of the same name by Jennifer Niven. The story involves two high school students, Violet Markey (Elle Fanning) and Theodore Finch (Justice […]

Marriage Story
After a recent viewing of the Oscar nominated film “Marriage Story”, I can clearly see why Laura Dern won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as a feisty lawyer named Nora Fanshaw. Dern’s is only one of the fantastic performances in this film, as lead stars Adam Driver, as theater director Charlie Barber, […]

BIRDS OF PREY
The newest release in the DC Extended Universe “Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)”, may be confusing film fans who don’t realize despite the title, the film is basically a Harley Quinn story. For those unfamiliar with the character Harley Quinn, she was created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, […]

BH 90210
“Beverly Hills, 90210” is back! If you were around in the 1990’s you know or heard about the show that became a hit in the world of pop entertainment. The Fox series began in 1990, and after watching the first episode, I became a fan. When I traveled to Los Angeles in 1992 I hoped to […]

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
I have never been a huge fan of director Quentin Tarantion’s work as goes a bit overboard with the violence in his films. However, I was willing to give his new film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, a viewing due to being fans of the two leads, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. The presence […]

The Lion King
While Disney seems determined to reboot every animated movie in their vast catalogue, it should come as no surprise they have released a “live-action” version of the 1994 blockbuster “The Lion King.” The mega hit is loved by all generations, and I’m surprise it took this long to see Simba and crew brought back to […]

I AM MOTHER
If you are a fan of science fiction films you may want to check out the new film “I Am Mother”, currently streaming on Netflix. The film is set in a post-apocalyptic world (as are a lot of sci-fi flicks) where we meet Mother, a robot who has been charged with repopulating Earth after an […]

Spider-Man: Far From Home
“Spider-Man Goes on Vacation”, I mean “Spider-Man: Far From Home”, is the latest film featuring the iconic web-slinger. The new film is set eight months after the events of “Avengers: Endgame”, and Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) is still distraught over the death of his good friend and mentor Tony Stark/Ironman. To get some relief from […]

Yesterday
Among the talking pets, superheroes, car chases, scary dolls, and stomping monsters of the summer movie season, there is a sweet little film now playing in theaters called “Yesterday”. The film is a fantasy/musical/comedy/romance, and stars Himesh Patel as Jack Malik, a teacher who aspires to be a singer-songwriter. He is supported in his efforts […]

Murder Mystery
I’ll admit I have never been a fan of Adam Sandler. To me most of his “comedies” are childish and his voice and mannerism are ingratiating. Was that too harsh? Not really, after all celebrities open themselves up for criticism by being in the public eye, so Adam is fair game. On the other hand, […]
