When TV shows and movies are life…
VIRGIN RIVER, my favorite melodramatic soap is back on Netflix, and let's be real, no one is making this show for the critics' opinions. This is for the fans. So I am going to write this review as the fan I am, telling the good... and the bad. Unfortunately this season has been the weakest… Continue reading TV Review: Virgin River Season 4
GONE IN THE NIGHT, written and directed by Eli Horowitz (HOMECOMING), is a twisty sci-fi thriller with an interesting message about aging and the societal value that is placed on staying young. Admittedly, I was first drawn to the film as a Winona Ryder devotee who will watch anything she is in. But Horowitz's interesting… Continue reading Movie Review: Gone in the Night
Based off of the bestselling book by Delia Owens, WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING is going to be divisive. I anticipate it is going to be the battle of book readers, excited to see the characters on-screen, versus non-book readers, who may find the story overhyped. I fall into the latter camp. I didn't hate the… Continue reading Movie Review: Where The Crawdads Sing
THE GRAY MAN, written and directed by the Russo Brothers, is one of Netflix's largest scale original films yet. With an all-star cast, high-octane action scenes, and edge of your seat thrills, this is an entertaining summer film that you can see from the comfort of your own home. Admittedly, there are times when the… Continue reading Movie Review: The Gray Man
As soon as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) credits begin, giving the typical MCU theme song an electric guitar upgrade, you know THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER is going to be different than its predecessors. Fun, hilarious, and silly, Taika Waititi once again makes a super entertaining Marvel film to follow my favorite of the franchise,… Continue reading Movie Review: Thor: Love and Thunder
THE FORGIVEN, written and directed by John Michael McDonagh (CALVARY), is flying under the radar despite having an all star cast of Jessica Chastain, Ralph Fiennes, and Matt Smith. And I am pretty sure I know why. Despite an attempt to satirically skewer the 1%, colonialism, and the appalling way the West views Arab culture,… Continue reading Movie Review: The Forgiven
ELVIS, directed by the wonderfully flashy Baz Luhrmann, is as glitzy and dazzling as the man its based on. As opposed to other biopics that take a warts and all approach on their subject, a good portion of ELVIS more or less worships Presley, choosing to instead focus on his contributions to music history, and… Continue reading Movie Review: Elvis
I don't know how to tell you this, but TOP GUN: MAVERICK is better than the original TOP GUN. I know that may surprise you, but I seriously cannot believe what an amazingly entertaining experience MAVERICK will bring to audiences. As a diehard movie fan, this was almost a religious experience. From the rumble of the… Continue reading Top Gun Maverick Review and Interview with Glen Powell and Greg Tarzan Davis
DOWNTON ABBEY: A NEW ERA, is not only one of the best in the entire series, it is one of my favorite movies so far this year! Written by Julian Fellowes, with the entire ensemble cast returning, A NEW ERA is just the type of heartwarming, funny, feel-good movie we need at a time like… Continue reading Downton Abbey: A New Era- Review and Elizabeth McGovern Interview
Boyhood, written and directed by Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused and the Before series), is not only the best film so far this year (with an unheard of 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes), it is also one of the most ambitious projects in Hollywood history. After all, the film follows the life of a boy,… Continue reading Interview: Richard Linklater for BOYHOOD
