Skincare, by Austin Peters and 2 others
Elizabeth Banks is one of those stars that always seems to come near greatness but never quite reaches it. She reminds me of Debby Reynolds or Joan Collins vs. Elizabeth Taylor. Or in the more modern version: Jennifer Aniston vs. … Continue reading
Housekeeping for Beginners, by Goran Stolevski
Goran Stolevski is an extremely talented filmmaker who lives Down Under but is originally from Macedonia. He gets the details so damn right it just boggles the mind. In “Of An Age,” for example, one of the characters is an … Continue reading
Horizon, updated
I’m pretty sorry to hear that Horizon Chapter 2 has been pulled from its original August release. I saw Chapter 1 again and it was much clearer the second time around. It still suffers from the basic flaw of not … Continue reading
Horizon, An American Saga, by Jon Baird, Kevin Costner and Mark Kasdan
It’s hard to review a 4 chapter movie that’s only released its first part. But unlike the critics, I actually enjoyed this quite a bit, and in the audience I was with, there was a smattering of applause at the … Continue reading

Challengers, by Justin Kuritzkes
and directed by Luca Guadigno. I honestly don’t know what this movie was about. It’s about a 3 way relationship (2 boys and a girl) who meet… somewhere… a dorm of some kind or maybe it’s a tennis camp for … Continue reading
Breathe, by Doug Simon
Sometimes a film is just bad. But I went to see this anyway because I like Sam Worthington — or at least I feel bad for Sam Worthington because James Cameron’s promise that he’d become a huge star never happened. … Continue reading
Civil War, by Alex Garland
I didn’t want to see this because in the preview Jesse Plemons, who I think is the most menacing actor we’ve had in a great long while, asks an obviously foreign born American citizen, “What kind of American?” I mistakenly … Continue reading
