An endearing romantic comedy about three sisters and their Master Chef father, Eat Drink Man Woman has a whole lot of heart and even more amazing food. I have heard mumblings about this film forever. I have been looking for it for years, but it doesn’t seem to be available to stream in the United…
Told in two parts, Black Bear, which focuses on a writer who is writing a screenplay, will have you dissecting what actually happened after the last frame. Conversations about movies that people love never get boring for me. I really enjoy hearing someone’s perspective on a film, even if it’s one that I couldn’t get…
With some new revelations directly from the female members, Manson: The Women is a great documentary with a specific focus on the psychological aspects behind joining the Manson Family and committing the subsequent murders. I have watched lots of coverage of the Manson Family over the years. I have always been interested in true crime,…
A film that didn’t get a great reception when it was first released, Birth, about a woman who lost her husband 10 years ago and is approached by a child claiming to be him, deserves another look. Some movies are made before their time. Twenty or thirty years after they’re created, they sometimes find new…
A solid thriller about political activists and conspiracy theories within the British government in Ireland, Hidden Agenda allows both Brian Cox and Frances McDormand to shine. I’ll admit that there are movies where I get a little lost in the intricacies. This typically happens to me when governments and the military in other countries are…
A slow building sports movie that ultimately explodes, The Novice is an intense pressure cooker that only gets better the longer you watch. You’ve never seen a movie about rowing quite like this before. There are some excellent sports films out there and some that are less than fantastic (I’m looking at you, Vision Quest)….
A dynamic superhero movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is like The Jetsons meets comic books, even if the CGI baby misses the mark. I have never watched a Fantastic Four movie before. They were never really on my radar, and since my son is an encyclopedia of comics and lore, I never felt like…
A story about young love, Summer of 85 is about a teenager who is fascinated with death, but finds someone who might just be the spellbinding distraction that he needs. First loves are usually nostalgic. We glamourize them and think of them wistfully as beautiful moments from long ago. But if you could relive them…
Sporting an excellent cast and an intriguing premise, The Proposition is a western that will have you questioning whose side you are on and why. If you were to ask me what my least favorite film genres are, my first answer would be horror (because they legitimately scare me and I don’t like that) and…
A unique story about child from the United States who assimilates into a native tribe in Brazil, The Emerald Forest is a film that will have you thinking about it long after the credits roll. I remember watching my mother watch The Emerald Forest when I was a child. She may have watched it a…
A movie that lives close to my heart, A Walk To Remember is a sweet coming-of-age love story where a rebellious teen falls for a quiet young woman with a secret. There are some movies that I can watch over and over. They run the gamut as far as decade (Little Miss Sunshine, The Princess…
A romantic drama about the daily lives of several vampires living today, Only Lovers Left Alive has an excellent cast and a dreamlike quality. Very enjoyable. When I was younger, I was terrified of vampires. I am an extremely visual person, so seeing just the wrong clip of a visual will have me looking at…
