Damn good!
After countless delays, Marvel’s highly anticipated “Black Widow” finally hits cinemas this week. Was it worth the wait? I’d say yes, even if it doesn’t reinvent the wheel. As far as standalone movies go, “Black Widow” delivers blockbuster entertainment, the kind we’ve missed seeing on the big screen. […]
I didn’t think I’d care for an origin story about Cruella, one of Disney’s most infamous villains. But she’s the protagonist of her own story here, and it’s easy to root for her right from the start, thanks to a colorful and committed performance by Emma Stone. The […]
I absolutely love it when a movie comes out of nowhere and turns out to be a pleasant surprise. “The White Tiger” is based off a New York Times bestseller which I’m not familiar with (but now that I’ve seen the movie, I’m curious to check it out). […]
You’d think with so many post-apocalyptic movies out there (and the fact that we live in one), there wouldn’t be any room left for something original. Ok, “Love and Monsters” isn’t entirely original (it feels like a cross between “Zombieland” and “War of the Worlds”), but it’s fast-paced […]
To say that I should have experienced “Godzilla Vs. Kong” on the biggest screen possible would truly be the understatement of the year. Instead, I had to look it up online and watch it on my HD TV. Fair enough. But get this: this long awaited monster showdown […]
After her deliciously creepy performance in the Netflix series “Ratched”, Sara Paulson delivers the goods yet again in the new thriller “Run”, from “Searching” writers Aneesh Chaganty and Sev Ohanian. The duo have done it again by delivering a suspenseful 90 minute rollercoaster that doesn’t pull its punches. […]
“Promising Young Woman” offers a juicy role for the talented Carey Mulligan, but the movie itself is well-made and constantly engaging, making it one of the true highlights of 2020. Mulligan plays a young woman who is leading a double life: she works in a coffee shop during […]
“Pieces of a Woman” is a movie that is difficult to review, and, at times, difficult to watch. But if anyone will remember it, it would be for its long opening sequence of a woman giving birth. It’s an incredible scene, fiercely acted by Vanessa Kirby, who truly […]
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, […]
Fantastic performances from Viola Davis and the late, great Chadwick Boseman, enacting the Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson’s play, make “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” a must-see. I knew almost nothing about Ma Rainey, the blues legend who rose to fame in the early 20th century, and this movie […]
