A short documentary about the elusive Voynich manuscript, this film does a nice job of introducing the indecipherable book as well as the theories that surround who created it and when. Decoding ciphers has long been a hobby for many. We see references to ciphers in books and movies like The Da Vinci Code or…
Based on a true story, Europa Europa shows one Jewish teen’s luck, humor, and resilience in hiding with German soldiers during WWII. A hugely charming and engaging film. There are many films about World War II that are told from all perspectives. It is important to keep history alive and available so that we don’t…
From The World Of John Wick: Ballerina is chock full of action, fun fight sequences, and gorgeous cinematography, but it lacks the humor and charm of the original series. Oh, John Wick, how I love thee. John Wick films are fun because they are silly and funny with incredible cinematography and fight sequences. There are…
A visually stunning and incredibly funny Marvel movie, Thunderbolts* has hidden depth and explores psychological aspects not seen in previous films. Definitely worth a watch! As MCU and DC movies go, things have been getting kind of tiring. There are so many superhero vehicles out there that they all start to look the same. I…
A tough film about addicts in New York, The Panic In Needle Park follows a young couple as they spend time together, develop codependency, try to make a name for themselves, and look for their next fix. Some movies are incredibly important, but unbelievably difficult to watch. The Panic In Needle Park is one of…
A lovely small film about a man with Alzheimer’s who chooses to end his life on his own terms, Moon Manor hits all of the right humorous and emotional notes. Death is an experience that every one of us is going to have one day. It is part of the cycle of life, so we…
A fascinating slow-burn of a movie, Mountainhead is essentially a 4-man play about what could happen if the wealthiest people in control of AI decide whether to let the world burn and become the vision they have instead. As most of us live our daily lives, we are concerned with the smaller things. You pick…
A gorgeous black-and-white film that follows a small town guy who looks up to his legendary brother, Rumble Fish has an incredible cast and a captivating filming style. Definitely worth a watch. Sometimes I’ll watch a movie and I will have no idea where it’s going or if what I’m watching is going to sink…
An elegant movie about the creator of the Wonder Woman comic, his wife, and their lover, Professor Marston & The Wonder Women is a fascinating look into a polyamorist relationship that existed far before its time. Comic book characters have long been part of society. They typically stand for power and take action for the…
Sometimes you get a movie that stars people you like and looks like something entertaining, but it never quite clicks. It’s fair to say that The Greatest Hits never quite lived up to its name. Every once in a while, there’s a movie that looks like it’s going to be fun. I don’t read much…
An outlandish and entertaining documentary about a 4.5 billion dollar theft, Biggest Heist Ever is a good show, but maintains credibility. It’s fun to find a documentary that plays out like a high-budget film. The visuals are grainer and the story is usually less flashy, but because it is a real story, it doesn’t really…
A brilliantly hilarious film about the impending blotting of existence, Dogma is a classic that never gets old. With the 13th apostle, two unlikely prophets, a small role by Alanis Morissette, and two angels just trying to escape their banishment in Wisconsin, this has always been a favorite. Dogma is one of those films that…
