Flamin’ Hot
FLAMIN’ HOT Did you ever eat Flamin’ Hot Cheetos? I haven’t and this film doesn’t make me want to run out and buy Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. But, like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, this film is a good 99 minute snack – a worthy snack. Flamin’ Hot stays positive and upbeat even through the darkest times-and the…
Three Out of Four Good Movies
I Used to Be Famous Vinnie D. struggled to write a solo album for twenty years after his stint in a popular boy band. He wanders aimlessly with his keyboard – through the diverse Peckham neighborhood in southeast London – trying to complete a song. By chance, Stevie, a neurodiverse drummer, escapes the control of…

Strong Women Movies
PREY & INTERCEPTOR Prey and Interceptor are new 2022 action movies with entirely different content but identical in a couple of ways. In both films, a single strong woman saves the world, and the men are all terrible or mostly dead. PREY Prey is the newest and the fifth movie in the science fiction Predator…

Father of the Bride
FATHER OF THE BRIDE Hard to compete with the 1991 Father of the Bride movie with Steve Martin and Diane Keaton as the parents and Martin Short as the hard-to-understand French Wedding Planner, Franck Eggelhoffer, who sells a $1,200 wedding “ceke.” The 1991 Father of the Bride is silly, funny, and politically incorrect in portraying…
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,…
