Till Death
TILL DEATH Never did I think I would intentionally watch a Megan Fox movie for her acting. Till Death, a suspense thriller is the most enjoyable movie I’ve seen in a long time, albeit a bit bloody. Not slasher bloody, just you stab me, or I stab you bloody. Megan Fox is superb changing from…
The Green Knight
THE GREEN KNIGHT I’m confident that none of my friends or family will enjoy The Green Knight unless they are familiar with the ancient story. Even knowing the story, most would be bored since The Green Knight is a slow-moving Indie-like drama. The Green Knight is a medieval fantasy film loaded with symbolism and magic…
Best Sellers

One of the production companies on this film is Chicken Soup for the Soul, a socially conscious company making stories since 1993 with positive content that brings…
Cinderella
CINDERELLA Cinderella, a live-action non-Disney movie, is reimagined in 2021 into an entertaining pop musical designed to empower pre-teen/teenage girls. Teenage boys may enjoy parts of this film, and the main message they receive is “Happy Wife, Happy Life.” This Cinderella still has the Ball, the magical carriage, the mean stepmom and stepsisters, the Prince,…
Come From Away
COME FROM AWAY Come From Away, a Broadway musical is one of the rare joyful remembrances of 9/11. The heartache and confusion of that day are present in Come From Away. But the all-inclusive generosity and respect of people that come together and help each other is the emotion you take away. Come From Away…
How I Live Now
HOW I LIVE NOW How I Live Now, a 2013 drama romance film, is a small quiet film that tackles a huge problem (nuclear war in Europe) on a small scale (how four kids deal with the war). The film is not too bloody or horrifying, and it is not a children’s film. How I…
Pig
PIG Don’t listen to college-aged adults for movie recommendations. They told me Nicholas Cage “goes John Wick” in this Independent drama Pig (referring to the 2014 film John Wick). Some of the official publicity for the film also wrongly compared Pig to John Wick. At the onset of the drama Pig, everything points to Ron…
The Dig
THE DIG You must genuinely enjoy sad, slow, and quiet English dramas to enjoy The Dig, where happiness is rare, but unrequited love and lack of respect are flourishing. However, The Dig is an interesting story – based upon an event that happened in England just before the start of WWII – and The Dig…
The Suicide Sqad
THE SUICIDE SQUAD The Suicide Squad is a 2021 superhero film (really a metahuman film) about the U.S. government forcing two Task Force X teams of criminals to invade the island nation of Corto Maltese. Their main objective – eliminate all evidence of an extraterrestrial being held captive by the Corto Maltesians. The Suicide Squad…
Fantastic Fungi

Sword of Trust
SWORD OF TRUST Sword of Trust is a comedy written, directed, and produced by the late Lynn Shelton. At the time of her unexpected death at 54, Ms. Shelton was in a relationship with Marc Maron, who stars in this film. Sword of Trust is an excellent example of mumblecore writing. Mumblecore is a type…
Saving Private Ryan
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN Every once and a while, you should watch the epic war movie Saving Private Ryan. I grew up with a dad who glamorized war movies. He and I watched those old black and white patriotic WWII movies. My dad served his WWII duty in North Carolina, not to his fault. My dad…
