“Malcom & Marie” is all about good performances, and both Zendaya and John David Washington deliver. But I wish I could say the same about the movie itself. It’s certainly well-shot and features a pair of powerhouse performances. But halfway through, I found myself drifting away from it, […]
Sometimes, a movie is easy to watch because of its star power. Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan are both a treat to watch in Netflix’s latest period piece “The Dig”, and they’re reason enough to stream it. Of the story, I can only say that it was quite […]

1- Blade Runner 2049 [2017] What? A sequel that doesn’t suck? You heard it. The original film had Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, a blade runner who hunts for fugitive, murderous replicants. Having vanished for 30 years, it’s up to K, a young blade runner (Ryan Gosling, never […]
We didn’t need more proof of her talent, but Francis McDormand delivers yet another fierce performance in “Nomadland”, playing a working class woman who embarks on a journey across America in the wake of the great recession of 2008. Like a true nomad, she lives in a van, […]
