“This movie is a solid improvement over Suicide Squad, but doesn’t rise to the level of Wonder Woman, Shazam, or even Aquaman.”
Read MoreSometimes the Academy voters get it very right. Sometimes they get it very, very wrong.
Read More“In the movie, Drax's pain and grief from losing his family consume him which gets the whole crew in trouble a few times. Emotions are powerful. But we do have the ability to control how they affect our behavior.”
Read More“The entire Star Wars saga is engrossed in Buddhist and Taoist teachings. Some of these lessons are more obvious than others, from Rey meditating to connect with the Force to everything Yoda says, ever. But some of the wisdom in the newest episode The Rise of Skywalker is a lot more subtle.”
Read MoreReleased in late 2019, Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice was shown in theatres. It’s now available to stream and purchase on physical media as well. It’s very touching to hear her in her own words, and how humble she is, even having been one of the biggest superstars in the world, while some of the world’s other biggest superstars have nothing but glowing accolades and the utmost respect for her.

Read More“We are all on our own journeys. Those closest to us might not know when we are struggling. Don’t wait for them to call you, for them to check in on you. It's really OK to reach out to them to ask for help. Even superheroes do it sometimes.”
Read MoreI wish there would have been more ‘good moments’ in this Cats as there could have been. Sigh.
Read More“J.J. Abrams and company do their best here, but they are too beholden to fan service and trying to satisfy everyone that the final result is a movie that is a jack of all trades, master of none.”
Read More“Jumanji: The Next Level is exactly the kind of action adventure movie that works well on the big screen and has wide audience appeal and should be a crowd pleaser like its predecessor.”
Read More“If there was a mantle for the legacy of Jimmy Stewart, Hanks would probably be the one to have that mantle. He has an earnestness and sincerity and generosity as an actor that suits him well for this role.”
Read More“Waititi is a gifted comedic mind, as anyone who has seen any of his work outside of Thor: Ragnarok well knows, so it’s not a surprise that he would do something unconventional as his next project. Jojo Rabbit is certainly unconventional, but also of a piece with some of his earlier films.”
Read MoreNo one can seem to agree on what the best order is for watching these movies to maximize the viewing experience. Do you start with Episode I and work your way through the chronology of the story? Do you go in chronological order of when the movies were released? I give you the definitive order for watching Star Wars, from a certain point of view.
Read MoreKnives Out is a delectable film, full of clever twists and laughs. Rian Johnson and company have put together a masterful entry in the murder mystery genre of film-making.
Read More“Frozen II is sure to be a hit with kids; and for parents, well, at least they will have some newer songs to throw into the Frozen playlist rotation. It’s a little darker, and a little less fresh, but it is a suitable sequel.”
Read MoreI was a Nickelodeon kid, which is why the news that Netflix and Nickelodeon were teaming up really piqued my curiosity. I recently started watching episodes of “Doug,” “Rugrats,” and “Hey, Arnold!” on Hulu, and I suppose those will move to Netflix, now. And, there will be new creations, like recent Netflix movies featuring characters from the Nicktoons “Hey, Arnold!” and “Rocko’s Modern Life.” I don’t want to get my hopes up, but there is one particular thing I would love to see happen as a result of this partnership: a new TV adaptation of “Animorphs.”
Read MoreLike most Bong Joon-ho films, Parasite is multi-faceted and a bit of a genre-bender; a dark, bubbling concoction of comedy, drama, and thriller that is loaded with social commentary.
Read More“As good of a movie as Terminator: Dark Fate is, I walked out of the movie more convinced than ever that they never should have made another sequel after T2. Try as it might to paper over the last three films, it ultimately can’t undo that original sin of making any movie beyond T2.”
