When TV shows and movies are life…
I don't know about you, but after more than decade of superhero movies, my interest has started to wane. Frankly, I've been a bit Marvel'ed out. But despite my hesitancy, DAREDEVIL hasn't done me wrong and I was super excited to give the new series, DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN, a try. And if my binge-watching of… Continue reading TV Review- Daredevil: Born Again
One of my favorite parts of this job is getting to interview brilliant filmmakers like writer/director Michael Gracey (who also directed THE GREATEST SHOWMAN). If his latest film BETTER MAN is any indication, it is impossible for the man to create anything other than a spectacle. Much should be said for the fact that the… Continue reading Interview: Michael Gracey Director of Better Man
Scott Derrickson's THE GORGE is a really entertaining date night movie perfect for Valentine's Day. Honestly, there were several times watching the movie I thought to myself "this is really silly," but Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy's incredible chemistry kept me hanging in there. And by the end of the film, I realized that even… Continue reading Movie Review: The Gorge
Last week I saw one of the worst movies of 2025. This week, I saw what will assuredly be one of the best. COMPANION, written and directed by Drew Hancock, is a clever sci-fi thriller that has so many twists and turns, you won't know what's going to happen next; think EX-MACHINA meets READY OR… Continue reading Movie Review: Companion
When any non-awards movie opens in January, there's a pretty good chance it's going to be bad; after all, January is where movie studios go to bury their bad projects. Granted, I try to go into every movie with an open mind... even if the trailer looks bad. But if a movie has a bad… Continue reading Movie Review: Flight Risk
I am not what you would consider a casual fan of WICKED. I have been obsessed with this show since I was fifteen years old, risking my life on a bus from Chinatown in Richmond to New York City to see the show for the first time with the original cast. Since then, I have… Continue reading Movie Review: Wicked Part I
THE PIANO LESSON, adapted from August Wilson's 1987 play, is a powerful reflection on family legacy and the ghosts that haunt generational trauma. Under the steady direction of Malcolm Washington, the energetic camera makes you feel like a fly on the wall of a deeply personal family story. But even more than that, the film… Continue reading TIFF Interview: John David Washington, Danielle Deadwyler, and Malcolm Washington for THE PIANO LESSON
CONCLAVE was one of the films that has most surprised me this year, mostly because on paper the film doesn't look like one I would immediately be drawn to. It was *the* talk of the Toronto International Film Festival, and a movie I have loved to recommend to my friends. Having seen the movie now… Continue reading Interview: CONCLAVE Director Edward Berger
LONELY PLANET, written and directed by Susannah Grant (ERIN BROKOVICH), is a sweet and charming romance centered around the chemistry-rich relationship between Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth. Filmed predominantly on-location, the film is also a love letter to Morocco, showcasing the beauty of the country, the people, and the culture. This movie seems like it… Continue reading Interview: Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth for LONELY PLANET
EMILIA PÉREZ is a magnificent, genre-bending thrill ride that you have never seen before and never will see again. Part musical-romance, part crime-drama, part action-thriller, it transcends the typical movie construct, breathing a fresh burst of excitement into the way we think about film... and how often can we say a movie does that? Through… Continue reading Movie Review: Emilia Perez
