FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRET OF DUMBLEDORE Review – Only the Faithful Are There
FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE continues the story that the last movie, THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD, ended at. For people who’ve forgotten key points, the first act nicely gets viewers back up to speed. I really needed it since the last film was so forgettable.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 Review – It’s All Just So Easy & Uncomplicated
You know, that recent movie RRR totally spoiled me. Now every American studio movie pales in comparison. I know I shouldn’t be comparing an East Indian movie to an American movie made for five year olds, but SONIC THE HEDGEHOG actually has a “Dance Battle” scene involving animated characters against human ones, and since RRR […]

RRR Review – The Tiger Roars. The Man Roars Back.
When a movie picks you up out of your theatre seat and deposits you back hours later enthralled, giddy and lightweight as if you have had an out of body experience, you know the movie did something right. The much anticipated release from India, RRR, was absolutely on my radar as years ago I loved […]
When There’s Nothing to Reinvent, It’s CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN to Remake
Disney’s remake of CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN is almost impossible to watch because it’s rather uninspired and simply copies key moments of the 2003 film instead of offering a different story. This product has the feel of Disney wanting to scrub the Fox name off many properties that they are now managing. With no other reason […]

SxSW 2022 Review – The Return of Tanya Tucker, Featuring Brandi Carlile
Country singer Tanya Tucker has been part of the sonic landscape of America since the release of the iconic song, “Delta Dawn” in 1972, when she was just 13 years old. Since then, she’s been a fixture of radio, television and the tabloids (thanks to her very public relationship with a much older musician Glen […]
SxSW Review – X
A few years ago, Ti West promised in interviews that he was done with the horror genre. He broke his promise and returns to his roots with the new movie X, a homage to 70s horror films, which I saw last night at its World Premiere at SXSW. The director and stars of the movie […]
