“The Good Nurse” a dramatic take on true events that could give you chills if you are ever admitted into a hospital. The bureaucratic administrations had allowed, or ignored, many suspicious deaths over a number of years. All of these seemed to be tied to one particular male nurse. Definitely not the “Good” one!

“Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile” is a movie based on children’s book, and it has been with a lot of energy and creativity. The talent behind the movie is very impressive. Lyle is a singing sensation, doing music created by the same team of songwriters who have composed for “Dear Evan Hansen”, “La La Land” and “The Greatest Showman”. You might call Lyle the crocodile “The Scaliest Showman”.
“Smile” is a movie that thinks you need to turn that frown upside-down. That is, as long as you like vaguely superstitious, unsettling horror movies. Movies such as ‘The Ring’ and ‘It Follows’. Movies that have some unnamed evil presence that gets you in the end. Only in this movie, it’s much more fun – because you get to wear a crazed smile before you die. Read more
“Pearl” has another title of “Pearl: An X-traordinary Origin Story”. Why? Because it has a direct tie-in to a previous movie called “X”. This was from the same Writer and Director, with the same leading Star. So, with the success of “X”, in getting a unique take on the horror-slash-slasher movie — what better way forward than to go way back into the past! Read more

“McEnroe” is a documentary about tennis star John McEnroe, the brash and hot-tempered player who ruled the courts – and the headlines. McEnroe holds multiple records and he was a raging force to be reckoned with in the major matches. This documentary gets into the gritty details of the original Bad Boy of Tennis.
“Three Thousand Years of Longing” is a visually freaky fun film that frolics in fantastical fantasy. (Say that five times real fast!) When an educated Professor meets up with a mythical creature from ancient days (the Djinn), a fairy-tale of adventure, discovery and love take hold of the screen. From Director George Miller (“Mad Max”, “Babe’, “Mad Max: Fury Road”, and many others) – there was only one final line I wanted for this movie — and that is… Read more
“Breaking” is a based on a true story of a veteran who has a bad experience with bureaucracy and it leads him to take desperate action. The former Marine Corps Lance Corporal is out of the service, and also out of luck. He has a strained relationship with his wife, and his finances are on shaky ground. He is one push from the edge of the abyss, and the Veteran’s Administration just gave him a big shove. Read more
“Delia’s Gone” is drama about a developmentally disabled man who is accused of a murder, and then later finds out the truth of his sister’s death. He was framed and wants to get back at the people who were culpable. It is a bit like “Rain Man” or “Forrest Gump” conducting a criminal investigation to clear their name. He might be a little slow, but he is able to uncover the truth.
“Beast” has a dangerous creature as the star, a beast so large and muscular, one that stalks and moves with a ferocious manner that has eyes that smolder and burn… Oh, yeah – there is also a wild lion. Really, the star is Idris Elba in the lead role. But just as intriguing is the African lion who in his own habitat, while everyone else can be uninvited dinner guests. Or maybe just dinner… Read more
“Bodies Bodies Bodies” is a wonderfully stylized movie that is like Agatha Christie on Tik-Tok using an Instagram filter. In other words, it is a classic ‘murder house mystery’ but done with the hip and up-to-date attitudes of today’s Generation Z age group. It combines some sharp social commentary and a mistaken who-dun-it mystery. Basically it a fascinating melding of “Get Out” meets “Knives Out”. But with much more alcohol, drugs and glow sticks…
