Eternals Review: A lot to Think About
I had to think about the Eternals. A lot. First off, overall, I liked the film. I agree with many reviewers that the big-named stars in the film were underused, but an ensemble piece was never going to let Angela Jolie or Selma Hayek shine. And they knew that. My […]
5 Ways to Actually Fix The Oscars
5 Ways to Actually Fix The Oscars Last year’s Academy Awards found its smallest audience ever, 9.23 million. Many people attributed this to pandemic woes and a lack of connection to nominated films. This year is a different story. Theaters are open, the movies are readily available for in-home viewing, […]

Review: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Season 1
Midge Maisel is working very hard to put everything in her life in the right place, then her husband goes and blows it all up! The housewife trope may be tired, but Midge is just getting started. The series is sharp and engaging while inverting, subverting, and celebrating the 1950’s […]

Due to a more ambitious story and significant COVID-related production delays, the show wasn’t able to finish shooting until last year. A few months back, a teaser […]
Jolt Review: How to Handle (or Not) Several Thousand Volts of Kate Beckinsale
If you like to see Kate Beckinsale kick ass, and feel somewhat ambivalent about it, then spend an afternoon or evening with Jolt. A hyped-up Beckinsale’s Lindy takes anger management to a whole new level with enabler Dr. Munchin (Stanley Tucci). This is a completely stupid film with no redeeming […]
The Matrix Resurrections Review: A Circuitous Path Back to the Same Place
Everybody likes a resurrection story. Well, not everybody. Seems that fans and critics alike held very mixed feelings over the Lana Wachowski epic that brings audiences back into the matrix. And this time, they bring them in through a side door for which only Lana has the key. I won’t […]
And Just Like That… Premiere Review
In the pilot episode, he analyzed her noting one simple truth about Carrie Bradshaw, “You have never been in love.” At the moment Carrie felt this statement like a blow to her system. Despite her constant talk about love and relationships, he saw what she really wanted and never had. […]
Dune Review: Still Waiting
Dune is perhaps my favorite book. I have read Frank Herbert’s Dune at least 5 times. I have read all of Herbert’s Dune books and most of the new books from his son Brian and collaborator Kevin J. Andersen. I have also watched David Lynch’s Dune many times. There is […]
