Hustle
HUSTLE Hustle is a basketball drama that is enjoyable to watch even if you don’t know the names of the NBA players in the film, that is, if you are like me. There are sixty past and present players and owners listed in the credits as HIMSELF or HERSELF, so if you are a sports…
Ambulance
AMBULANCE The recent Marvel Superhero films (Dr. Strange in the… and Moon Knight) have become too complicated (or maybe too nonsensical), too long, tiring, and boring by the film’s end. Therefore, it is good to go to the theater and watch a straightforward and bloody cop versus crooks chase film that is, unfortunately, still too…
As They Made Us
AS THEY MADE US I chuckled at a few scenes early in the film, mainly at Candice Bergen’s scornful attitude toward everything and everyone. Later, I felt a tad bad for laughing after learning about the physical and mental abuse her daughter Abigail suffered her whole life because of her mother’s relentless criticism and her…

Our Great National Parks
OUR GREAT NATIONAL PARKS I stopped watching nature shows years ago because after showing the wonders of nature, the show would always conclude with a sad reminder that whatever wonder you just saw is being lost due to how you live your life. Our Great National Parks is a Netflix series narrated by Barack Obama….

Windfall
WINDFALL Windfall is a psychological drama that takes a jab at the class structure in the U.S., but the story is slow, and some of the actors don’t sell it. However, the ending is surprising in a weirdly satisfying way, almost making it worth watching the short 92-minute movie. The Director, Charlie McDowell, married to…
The Bubble
THE BUBBLE It takes a particular type of person to enjoy the entirety of The Bubble, which is a silly comedy with a great ensemble of actors that do everything they came to amuse you, make you laugh, creep you out, or generally just act weird to show you a mostly warped view of what…

Death on the Nile
DEATH ON THE NILE The detective Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) is back, traveling with a group of entitled and resentful rich people as he attempts to solve a murder committed during a wedding celebration in the newest installment of the Agatha Christie murder mystery series, Death on the Nile. Hindsight shows that the viewer…
Sold Out
Sold Out What does the wife think of her husband John’s music, his art, his passion – “It’s fine. – but it’s time he grows up.” Not the correct answer, wifey! The other central character in Sold Out, a music-based drama, is Kat, an independent music scout. Kat just got her band a record contract,…
The Adam Project
THE ADAM PROJECT Ryan Reynolds chooses another big-screen film, The Adam Project, where his character’s persona is identical to the role he played in Deadpool 1, 2, and 3, Red Notice and Free Guy. This role is not an acting stretch for Reynolds, but he plays Adam perfectly in The Adam Project, a time-traveling action-comedy….

LAST NIGHT IN SOHO Last Night in Soho is a psychological thriller written and directed by the Londoner Edgar Wright. This film is the ninth feature film that Edgar Wright has written and/or directed. He is best known to me for Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and Shaun of the Dead. Last Night…

THE FALLOUT The Fallout is a high school drama with a teen vibe; however, the film has value, so it is worthwhile and entertaining for all to watch. The film deals with the lives of four teenagers and how they cope with a shooting in their high school. The first 15-minutes of the film depicts…

Finding You
FINDING YOU Practically, every cliché in the book is in Finding You, a coming-of-age romance film based on the book, There You’ll Find Me by Jenny B. Jones. Even though the film is predictable, utterly moral, bordering on religious, by the end, you still hope for the best for the heroine and the movie star….
