“Honest Thief” might be an oxymoron, just like “jumbo shrimp” or “military intelligence”. This movie has a tightly-wound plot and some formidable characters, and it might be an ‘original copy’ of many other ones, but it is one perfect for these new ‘weirdly normal’ times.
“Time” will open in select theaters October 9th. In the Phoenix Area, “Time” will play exclusively at the Harkins Scottsdale Camelview. Later it will begin streaming on Amazon Prime October 16th
“Time” is a documentary about one family’s struggle due to an extremely long prison sentence given to the husband and father. It is presented in black & white, in part to comment on the justice system’s discrimination when their color is Black versus White.
THE GLORIAS is available for purchase on Digital and Streaming exclusively on Prime Video starting September 30th.
“The Glorias” movie will tell you that Gloria Steinem is someone who looms large on the screen. So large, in fact, that the character needs to be by portrayed by four individuals. A child plays Steinem as a young girl, then another plays her as a teenager. Yet another person portrays Steinem as a young adult, and even later, she is portrayed by someone else. Through the whole tale, Steinem is shown being with the people who had influenced her. Then finally Steinem has grown into the person who has influenced an entire generation of women.
“Kajillionaire” will open in theaters nationwide on September 25, 2020.
“Kajillionaire” would like to introduce you to a family of con artists. Well maybe not ‘artists’, they are more like first-year Art students. This family is very off-kilter, but as you get to know them more — it seems they might be off-their-rockers as well. Getting by on minimal expense and maximum shake-down is a point of pride to them. But when a new person comes along with them, the rickety foundations start to crumble and fall.
Antebellum is premiering on demand; available to rent on all major digital and cable retailers this Friday Sept. 18.
“Antebellum” is not just a style of Southern mansion, it is a movie that sets your calendars back to the era of slavery and the Civil War. Can the past never die? In the minds of some people, there is never a time where the South lost the War and Mr. Lincoln freed the enslaved. The movie imagines a throwback to a brutal and unfair system — because some folks like to reenact the wrong side of history.
NOTE: “The Way I See It” will be in limited release on September 18, 2020 by Focus Features, followed by broadcast on MSNBC on October 16, 2020 (at 10 PM Eastern Time).
“The Way I See It” is a documentary about a person who was able to keep the focus on a President. As in, he was the main photographer of the White House. Plus he did that photographic wizardry not for just a single President. He was in the White House during the 1980’s and then was invited back for another round. He had a unique position in that he repeated his time in there as the Official Photographer.
NOTE: Opening in theaters starting this Friday Sept. 11
“The Broken Hearts Gallery” is well-written and well-cast rom-com that can take a “Meet Cute” and spin it into a ride-share adventure. Using the backdrop of the New York City art scene, the main characters find a way to take the flotsam and jetsam of past relationships and create high-concept art. With a young and talented cast, this movie takes fresh look at relationships and — when they end badly — what can be done with the cast-off wreckage of past love.

“Get Duked!” is the comedy-horror mash-up movie that follows some inner-city ‘Boyz’ who get dropped off into the Scottish Highlands for rigorous trek over hill and dale. Along the way they meet up with some Royals who have murderous intent.
