Movie Review – Fighting with My Family – Pleasant, Non-Demanding Fun
Fighting with my Family is a pleasant little true-life-based sporting movie leaving you feeling a little happier than when you went in. It’s not about Earth-shattering events or anything particularly profound for humanity, and it doesn’t need to be. It’s a small and surprisingly charming story: a young woman gets plucked out of obscurity in…

Movie Review – Run the Race – Faith-Based but Sad
—
As is my usual, I’ll address the target audience first. Run the Race has all the ingredients needed for a faith-based movie — a loss of faith, a terrible tragedy, hope, and renewal. Christians of all denominations will be satisfied, and happy with the outcome. (Does anyone write a faith-based movie where God doesn’t prevail?)…

Black Panther – Does Killmonger Have a Point?
[Spoilers ahead for everything Black Panther but not Infinity War] For Black Panther Week, and before the 2019 Oscars, I’d like to give this gorgeous and exciting film a shoutout.

All The Stars – End Credits Song from Black Panther – Video and Lyrics
Up for Best Original Song at the Oscars this year, All The Stars from Black Panther is looking very good. It’s up against the big contender Shallow from A Star Is Born, but it could certainly bring in a win if the Academy sees fit to go in a different direction from their usual drama-type…

One of the top movie hits from 2018 is A Star is Born, starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, and their best film song is Shallow, a duet that slays everyone who hears it. It’s almost a perfect song, and it won the awards to prove it: Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song Grammy…

Russian Doll Theme Song – Gotta Get Up Video & Lyrics (Netflix Does Groundhog Day)
Have you binged the new Netflix show Russian Doll? Season One is only eight episodes (a half hour each) long, and I snapped them up like candy all on one night. What makes that even better was I watched it on February 2, that oddball American holiday known as Groundhog Day. Used to be that…

Movie Review – They Shall Not Grow Old
Watching They Shall Not Grow Old was an experience unlike any I’ve had before. Knowing all these fresh-faced boys, who were initially so excited about going off to war were about to die: that was hard. Unlike most movies when the director yells ‘it’s a wrap,’ the actors go on to another movie: in…

The premise is simple: Lola has twenty minutes to raise the money to save her boyfriend Manni’s life. Each failed attempt causes the clock to reset Groundhog Day-style. Except Lola doesn’t seem to remember…
