The Greatest Hits If you’re a fan of the type who would like to see an old-fashioned romantic comedy that could have been made in the ‘90s or early aughts and has all the usual suspects including the newly widowed protagonist, the dreamy lost love, the sassy truth-telling best friend, the equally hunky potential new […]
War Of The Worlds This is one of the few flicks that had the honor of being discovered by me whenever it was broadcast. The alien tripods, the sounds they emitted, and the feeling of doom that hung in the air was my favorite about the movie. Unfortunately, viewing the film today is completely different.
Creed III The ambition alone is impressive. For his first film as a director, Michael B. Jordan chose “Creed III”, which is the latest spinoff in the “Rocky” franchise and ninth overall in the storied boxing saga. He’s also directing himself again, reprising the role of champion fighter Adonis Creed Apollo’s son that he played

Oceans Rising Hello darlings! I have nothing but good news to announce. I am safely back at Casa Maine after my long stay in the hospital. I am still a little unsteady on my legs but nothing that with the help of my tap therapist, Lulu Pigg, can’t be cured with some barre work and
Mercenaries Do you remember some Fairchild Republic A-10 Attack Aircraft or perhaps Lasers XIV by Cannon Group’s action films in the 80s? Of course, everybody knows about how Stallone, despite all him being in focus commercials in 2010 somehow still managed to reenact that era with The Expendables. Speaking of Expendables, how many of you
Shelby Oaks Permit me to say this first there is no festival that I will more likely love than the Fantasia International Film Festival happening in Montreal. The event is long (at least two weeks), genre-specific (horror, sci-fi, animation and more) and as diverse as they come and it’s also extremely Canadian. So I was
The Color Purple In the past, Steven Spielberg’s Oscar nominated movie was an adaptation of Alice Walker’s 1982 novel “The Color Purple,” and in 2005, a Broadway musical based on the book premiered. But Blitz Bazawule’s new film takes a different approach: It combines aspects of multiple forms to create something entirely new and entirely
Nimona A number of interesting emotions and themes are suggested but rarely expressed well in the often adorable but mostly intense and overlong animated sci-fi fantasy “Nimona,” about a teenage shapeshifter and her disillusioned (and very literal) knight in shining armor. The future set, hyper stuffed “Nimona” is so full of Pinterest-ready details that it
Big George Foreman Cinema that documents the lives of star athletes or artists typically has a general outline: rise to success, fall from grace (usually due to addiction and ego), redemption. A great biopic see “Get on Up” or “I, Tonya” will wring some deep truth about its subject out of this structure, a so-so
