Movie Review – Talk to Me
—
I’ve had a love/hate relationship with A24 for over a decade. To begin with, I found their movies so utterly bad that I refused to see them anymore. They were all that horrible, in my opinion. About two years ago, though, A24 surprised me. They released one, and I liked it. Then another and another.…

Movie Review – Barbie
—
Let me start by apologizing for not giving this movie the thoughtful review it deserves. I lack the time and the talent to achieve that. I enjoyed Barbie for the humor and snarky, sometimes subversive, pop-culture references. I loved Barbie for its insight and playful criticism that is inspiring to be more cognizant of my…

Movie Review – Oppenheimer
—
I realize my opinion may cut against the grain of popular opinion, but that’s never stopped me before. 🙂 What I liked The best thing about this movie is the superb acting, and not just by Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer. In general, the acting by the entire cast is fantastic, which is a testament to…

Movie Review – Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One
—
And here comes one of the big titles that everyone is hoping will turn the tide of poor box office results. Personally I think it’s a bit like the whole working from home ethos that became so popular during the various lockdowns. People liked being able to roll out of bed and start working while…

I dare say, something is wrong with anyone who enjoys watching Sound of Freedom. But unfortunately, this is a movie…

Movie Review – Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
—
After the abomination that was Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull this latest (And last?) Indiana Jones movie only needed to avoid being an abject embarrassment. Mission accomplished. I’m not saying Dial of Destiny was great, but it was mostly good. And that’s good enough. And so, I’ve been sitting here for fifteen minutes trying to come up…

Movie Review – Asteroid City
—
I have no doubt, that as soon as we can ask an AI to create a feature movie we won’t have to specify that it be like a Wes Anderson movie. That will be the default. If you’re not already aware, when you prompt an AI to create something it will sometimes go off the…

Movie Review – No Hard Feelings
—
No Hard Feelings accomplishes everything you could want in a comedy/drama. There’s no question that it’s funny. The audience in my theater laughed out loud many times. Additionally, Jennifer Lawrence nails her no-nonsense character. It’s a character that Jennifer has played in numerous movies, so I’m left wondering if this is acting or just letting…
