What a delicious double feature! I saw these movies months ago and can still taste them! I love food. The science and the art. I don't cook. I do bake, mind you--and just LOVE to eat, taste, try new things, analyze recipes and whatever I'm eating (ooh.. the crumb on that cake!... Is that star [...]
I've seen what feels like a thousand movies in the last three weeks, the result of a tidal wave of year-end releases before the holidays and in time to qualify for the Oscars while remaining fresh in viewers' minds. Not all of the following are Oscar-worthy, but here's my take on a few you might [...]
FALL drops us into the season for serious movie-going. Most of the best films and performances of the year, many of which will turn up during awards season, are being released now through December. Here are two I can recommend-- with lots more to come in the next few weeks! THE ROAD DANCE [...]
It was the bang heard around the world of summer movies: two of the most anticipated big screen offerings of the season Greta Gerwig's BARBIE and Chris Nolan's OPPENHEIMER collided! Warner Bros and Universal Studios each scheduled release dates and critics screenings for their films on the same date and time! The animosity goes deeper [...]
You don't need my input on the god of thunder, dinosaurs, minions, or yet another retelling of the Spiderman origin story (unless Timothee Chalamet is spinning the web). I do, however, wish to make THREE suggestions for movies that may have escaped your notice and which I hope you check out as soon as possible: [...]
Some films really stick, and THE BEATLES GET BACK, the three-part "event" directed by Peter Jackson ("The Lord of the Rings") now streaming on Disney+ has seeped into my bones and will stay there forever. Cameras everywhere capture EVERYTHING. In the days and weeks leading up to their final fantastic and at times absurdly funny [...]
The movies I'm dying to see this fall are NO TIME TO DIE-- the last Danny Craig James Bond flick set to open in theaters Friday October 8; THE LAST DUEL co-starring Adam Driver and that dynamic Boston duo Matt Damon and Ben Affleck who co-wrote this medieval tale due out October 15; and DUNE [...]
Is it something in the air? The latest movies have left me wanting. REUNION, a horror film out of New Zealand, starring Julia Ormond is one of the dreariest movies I've seen in a long time. Her character is living in a big, gloomy house stuffed with repressed memories and her aging husband, catatonic and [...]
"Power" was the theme at the movies released this rainy weekend and the following two films though different in style and content, found their way through the same terrain. Let's begin with PROJECT POWER: PROJECT POWER is the latest from Jamie Foxx who stars in this sci-fi action thriller about power-- who has [...]
These two films couldn't be more different and I liked them both-- one in spite of its being outright awful and ridiculous, the other because it pretty much accomplished what it set out to do. THE SECRET: DARE TO DREAM stars Katie Holmes as a down-on-her-luck widow named Miranda raising three kids when [...]
