Joy Ride” is a hard-R mash-up of “Crazy Rich Asians” and “The Hangover”. But this, it is with an Asian female lead cast and filled with language that could make a sailor blush. Four ladies make their way on a ‘business’ trip to China. Much zaniness ensues, and the journey tests friendships – along with alcohol tolerance. You could call it “My Big Fat Asian Road Trip”!

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Movie Review
I enjoyed watching the newest Indiana Jones adventure almost as much as any other adventure film. Well, maybe I should say I didn’t dislike it. Mostly because I thought I’d never see the character again. Read more
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken Movie Review
“Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken” is so colorful and pretty. It’ll attract most little ones for this reason alone. The story itself is a bit antiquated and banal, but younger audiences who haven’t seen every cartoon available more than once will thoroughly enjoy what Ruby has to offer them.

Asteroid City Movie Review
“Asteroid City” is a quirky little comedy from Wes Anderson. His work is focused on style and exacting screen composition. He favors a shading scheme of calm and collected colors. This time, the subject is 1955 America in the Great Southwest. Back then, the families were close-knit and nuclear. Just like the above-ground Bomb tests, set off in the distant desert. Read more
Wildlife Movie Review
Everyone, especially young people who need this land to grow on for many years to come, has to get their hands on this and take what it’s saying seriously.
Among other things, the documentary is about Doug Tompkins Conservation’s partnership with Chile and Argentina and how they created or expanded seventeen national parks.

Elemental Movie Review
Don’t get to your seat late! There’s a special Pixar short called “Carl’s Date” about Carl going out on a date, leaving his loving dog Dug behind. But can he? A picture of his beloved wife, Ellie, is sitting on the mantel. Could he move on?
Ed Asner passed in 2021, so this is something special to see, as it is Asner giving Carl his voice one last time. You may have to have a tissue in your hand for this, but you can’t miss it. It’s heartbreaking but also very sweet.
The Flash Movie Review
“The Flash” is a superhero character based on the DC Comics universe of fantastical people. The movie discovers a multi-verse of characters and their alternatives. In an alternative timeline, Flash learns that some characters do not exist. And others exist in way that seems unfamiliar. For most of the audience, the face behind the Bat Cowl is a welcome blast from the past…
Flamin’ Hot Movie Review
“Flamin’ Hot” is a story we’ve seen several times before. I’ll admit that this is a new spin on the tale of a man working his way up from nothing with a hot new idea, but it’s a familiar story, nonetheless.
