I usually don’t give 100% to what I watch because how could anything be perfect? I’ve handed them out from time to time, but not often. However, “Omnivore,” narrated by the famous chef RenĂ© Redzepi of Noma, is another animal. It’s the perfect dish, no matter how you serve it.  Read more

If you saw the movie “Twister,” directed by Jan de Bont, starring Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Cary Elwes and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, go into “Twisters” knowing one thing. There are only a few respectable differences between the two. Director Lee Isaac Chung, from “Manari,” is good at storytelling. This film has no carry-over actors from the first film, and the story veers from people wanting to study tornadoes to people wishing to tame them… make them vanish before they destroy everything in their path. Chung does an excellent job of showing that distinction.
“Fly Me to the Moon” is a movie that has the backdrop of the U.S. Space Program of the late 1960’s. The Apollo moon shot mission is the key focus.

“A Quiet Place: Day One” is part of a larger franchise for ‘Quiet Place’ horror movies. Some outer-space creatures had landed on Earth to cause havoc. The other movies dealt with how people had adapted to the monsters attacking people who were too loud. These critters are nearly blind, but have an acute sense of hearing. So you need to crunch on that popcorn just a little quieter… Read more
“Daddio” is a movie with a pretty simple concept. It is a conversation in a cab, and a lot of talking in a taxi. The gruff driver and the wise-for-her-years young lady in the backseat test and probe each other for faults and flaws. Each one explains their life view – and they learn more than expected from the other person. In the end it is not the Destination, but the Journey…
