    Best of Enemies

    April 5, 2019 /

     I invite a number of friends to see the preview screenings with me, but I love that this friend was moved enough to write a #MiniMovieReview review…  “I saw a preview of this movie yesterday. Frankly, I would advise people to save their money. At the end of the film, people were clapping. My emotions moved from being mildly inspired to disappointed to furious. In typical Hollywood fashion, this movie manages to make the white man the real star of the film.  They re-fashion the KKK into a group that only terrorizes white people. The black people, especially Taraji P. Henson’s character, become backdrops for the white character’s story. The black…

    SHAZAM!

    April 5, 2019 /

    Directed by David F. Sandberg and starring Zachary Levi as a 14-year-old kid in a grown man’s superpower enhanced body. Loved this concept, just wished his Shazam personality and his Billy Batson (Asher Angel) personalities were a little more well matched. Even if Billy didn’t have the weight of the world hanging on his shoulders as a foster kid constantly running away to look for his real mom – he still wouldn’t be as childishly goofy and gleeful as he becomes when he’s Shazam. However, it’s this goof that makes the movie very fun and wonderfully silly. I think it’s ironic that although Disney owns Marvel, these last two D.C.…

    US (Jordan Peele)

    March 28, 2019 /

    US starts with a creepy prologue set in a Santa Cruz amusement park in 1986 where a little girl wanders off from her parents to go inside a mirrored funhouse called “Find Yourself”. What she sees there haunts this young girl for some time, even to some extent into her adulthood where she’s now an accomplished woman with a jovial husband, typical teenage daughter and young son with a penchant for masks. It’s unclear why the family is vacationing in Santa Cruz, there seems to be reference to the husband having stayed at this house when he was a kid, like the house belongs to his family; but as this…

    Gloria Bell

    March 23, 2019 /

    By writer/director Sebastián Lelio. Did you know this movie was a remake by the same writer/director, how many times has that happened? “Gloria Bell” is a very intense and incisive portrait of a woman. We see her in every frame of the film. Every single scene is about how she exists in the world, moment by moment. Because the spectator never stops looking at her, there is the opportunity to deeply connect with her feelings …Like everyone, Gloria gets hit by the world, but she continues to stand up. She resurrects herself and keeps on looking to experience the beauty of life. That is my inspiration and reason for sharing…
