With a slow trudge through the exposition, The Name Of The Rose slowly becomes a more interesting mystery and ends well, even though the first half is difficult to connect with. Sometimes, there’s a movie that you have meant to watch for years, it just keeps slipping through your fingers. People talk about it and…
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 breathtakingly beautiful film, The Fall is an epic story within a story that will make you laugh, love, and break your heart in all the best of ways. There are some movies that you will never forget. They touch you so deeply that watching them actually incorporates into your life experience. We all have…
An intriguing film about a hitman with dementia, Knox Goes Away has a great cast and ends terrifically, even if some of the middle narrative gets blurry. I remember hearing about this movie when Michael Keaton did his tour of late night shows. It was the second film that he directed and he was specifically…
A movie that is just as confused by itself as you will be, Eddington has an excellent cast and nice cinematography, but no clear story structure or focus. When I go into a movie that is over two hours, I always hope that it’s worth my time. Many films need that much space to flesh…
A fantastic new superhero film, Superman shows the goodness of the man just as clearly as the epic action sequences and exciting characters. There is a lot of heart here! When I first saw the trailer for the new Superman movie, I was not impressed. My son and I exchanged “yikes” looks and I recall…
With staggeringly beautiful cinematography and heightened filming techniques, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a movie that you can’t compare to any other. It’s truly unique and you have to watch it. I have an admission to make: I have never watched the original three Mad Max films. I may get to them one day,…
A psychological thriller that highlights two fantastic leads, Red Eye is a short, claustrophobic, and intense ride with a bit of a cliché ending. I have heard a lot of people say that Red Eye is an underrated thriller. It didn’t really catch my eye when it first released, but the more I heard the…
A great new film with one banger song after the next, KPop Demon Hunters is the animated movie that you never knew you needed in your life. It is so much fun, believe me, you need it. It is remarkable what studios can do with animation these days. I remember waking up on Saturday mornings…
A film that is a great definition of “fine,” Riff Raff has an excellent cast that is underutilized and a story that is unsure where it’s going. Occasionally you find a movie that has such an excellent cast on the poster that you have to watch it. There is no reason that it shouldn’t be…
A popcorn action flick, Heads of State is full of silliness and color. With a few laugh out loud moments, it’s a good one to watch if you need something light. When the world is in the midst of serious craziness, it can be good to have films to escape to. I’m not sure that…
