Sing Sing Movie Review
“Sing Sing” is an emotionally uplifting story set in the most depressing place — the maximum security prison called ‘Sing Sing’. Prisoners on the inside never have a lot of freedom to express themselves. But a program designed to get inmates familiar with ‘The Arts’ gives them a chance to produce plays and learn acting skills. You might call it ‘The Sing Sing Redemption’, just without the major escape at the end. Read more
Time Bandits Apple TV+ Series Review
ā
Getting fully into this new āTime Banditsā series is easier if youāve never seen its predecessor. Though creators Jemaine Clement, Iain Morris, Taika Waititi do a good job of recreating the original intent, itās for the love of all things Python that we watch. Letting that go will help you to just have fun in Waititiās world, as itās impossible to forget Gilliamās, especially with familiar phrases like āpointed stickā coming out of nowhere on occasion. Hold onto the love youāll feel when you hear them, but fall just as hard for this new creation, as well. If you do, youāll have a good time.
Bad Monkey Series Review
ā
āBad Monkeyā is based on the novel of the same name, written by Carl Hiassen. Itās a comedic crime thriller, as is the show, which⦠has a great soundtrack! The title says a lot. It should say a severely underused monkey and a somewhat bad show, but okay, I wonāt be that harsh. Itās just not enough of cute Crystal the Monkey from āHangover 2ā and āNight at the Museumā and more of the same from Vince Vaughn, who plays Andrew Yancy.
It Ends With Us Movie Review
“It Ends With Us” is about abuse inside the family — domestic violence — and shows that you can make it stop. Refuse to be a victim and stand up to the abuser. If it just didn’t lean into the ‘cutesy’ initial romance and the unrealistic situations — you might think the movie was saying something important… Read more
Kneecap Movie Review
The Irish people are very proud of their country, and if you donāt know that, after watching this extremely uncommon film, you will. As soon as āKneecapā begins, director Rick Peppiatt hardly gives you time to catch your breath. ā Read more

Omnivore AppleTV+ Series Review
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 RenĆ© Redzepi of Noma, is another animal. Itās the perfect dish, no matter how you serve it. Ā Read more
Twisters Movie Review
ā
If you saw the movie āTwister,ā directed by Jan de Bont, starring Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Cary Elwes and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, go into āTwistersā knowing one thing. There are only a few respectable differences between the two. Director Lee Isaac Chung, from āManari,ā 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.
