Antebellum Movie Review

September 17, 2020 (updated September 17, 2020) Published by JMcNaughton

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.

September 17, 2020 (updated September 24, 2020) Published by JMcNaughton

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.

The Broken Hearts Gallery Movie Review

September 11, 2020 (updated September 10, 2020) Published by JMcNaughton

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.

They do not notice that the first letters spell out DEATH…

Tesla Movie Review

August 22, 2020 (updated August 22, 2020) Published by JMcNaughton

“Tesla” is movie about the influential, but much-lesser known, counterpoint to Thomas Edison – Nikola Tesla. The facts surrounding Tesla’s life and his creative spirit should form the basis of a super-charged jolt of a movie. Alas, this effort proves that the juice can run out – even for a bio-pic of a person well ahead of his time.

Project Power Movie Review

August 13, 2020 (updated August 14, 2020) Published by JMcNaughton

“Project Power” is an action-filled movie where human superpowers can be delivered in a pill. The drug on the streets can make you invincible, for five minutes at a time. But for some people, it can make them super dead. But when the wrong folks get a hold of it, it can make New Orleans look like a Mardi Gras hangover.

Work It Movie Review

August 7, 2020 (updated August 7, 2020) Published by JMcNaughton

“Work It” is fun dance-your-heart-out comedy presented by Netflix. It takes a shop-worn story about how to get into the college of your dreams and gives it a hip-hop, be-bop makeover.
