“Bad Monkey” is based on the novel of the same name, written by Carl Hiassen. It’s 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 won’t be that harsh. It’s just not enough of cute Crystal the Monkey from “Hangover 2” and “Night at the Museum” and more of the same from Vince Vaughn, who plays Andrew Yancy.
“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

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. But it is not content with following the (fictional) people involved. It instead goes into major ‘conspiracy theory’ territory. The actual moon landing will be a real boost for America’s prestige — even if Government Forces need to ‘fake it’… Read more
“Maxxxine” is part of a horror movie trilogy, and it is the last one. It will become the ‘Final Movie’ about a ‘Final Girl’. That is, the last one standing. The ‘adult film’ actress who is now in Hollywood is out to follow her obsession. She wants to be a Star. She won’t allow her role to be ‘cut’… Read more
“Despicable Me 4” is a further adventure into the world of Gru and his family and his Minions. In case you have been hiding under a rock for the past 14 years, the ‘Despicable’ empire has continued to grow and get more fans over the years. The quality of animated movie making may not have increased much with the release of these films. But the results at the Box Office show these will be a hit. Read more
