Hello! And welcome to a weekly feature I’ll be writing in the run-up to the 2020 Oscars on April 25th. I’m one of those idiots who still buys physical media—often an annual metric tonnage of it—and I’m also one of those idiots who can’t help but be swept up in the politics and the competition […]
ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI review: Praise the Talkers
A confident and elegant directorial debut from Regina King, ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI recounts a fictional night in a hotel room between four cultural icons during the Civil Rights movement of the 60s. I don’t know if it’s the pandemic or mere happenstance, but there have been plenty of stage play-to-film adaptations this year—THE BOYS […]

Black History Month review – JUST MERCY
The story of JUST MERCY, directed and co-written by Destin Daniel Cretton (SHORT TERM 12), begins in a forest. A logger looks up at a patch of sky, obscured moments ago by the tree he just fell. This becomes a significant memory. The way the branches are described as dancers in the wind. It’s the […]

JUDAS & THE BLACK MESSIAH Review – Fred Turner is Revolutionary
A movie I have been waiting to see for quite a long time (I remember seeing a trailer for this last summer when TENET made its theatrical release), JUDAS & THE BLACK MESSIAH finally arrives in release at a very important time in our bizarre, always-changing world. With so many people all over the world […]
BARB & STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR – It’s Time For A Holiday!
I can’t believe that it has been almost a decade since BRIDESMAIDS was released into theatres. A combination of both FREAKS & GEEKS creator Paul Feig’s comedic styling along with Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumulo’s wickedly funny screenplay, I still remember laughing loud and long throughout the picture and revisiting it several times over the […]

FREAKY on Blu Ray – Get Your Killer Switch On
If you’re a fan of filmmaker Christopher Landon’s HAPPY DEATH DAY movies (I am!) his new movie FREAKY will not disappoint whatsoever. It’s quite refreshing to see a movie that doesn’t apologize for its gore or even going over the top in its comedy, either, and it also comes from one of my favorite production […]

Victoria Film Festival Review – QUEEN OF THE ANDES
In QUEEN OF THE ANDES we follow Pillar Grant. We first meet in awkwardly setup interview, of which both participants seem a little in over their heads. She turns the interview into a tribute to her own studies. She is overjoyed to continue the related projects, but quickly finds those plans made irrelevant. We learn […]

Victoria Film Festival Review – BIG NORTH (Il Grande Nord)
BIG NORTH (Il Grande Nord) is an Italian film, and the spoken language is in Italian. Non-Italian speakers will make use of the available subtitles. I’m not a student of language, but Italian doesn’t seem to have a lot of cognates that are similar to their English counterparts. The narration is done by a native […]
