“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

Getting fully into this new âTime Banditsâ series is easier if youâve never seen its predecessor. Though creators Jemaine Clement, Iain Morris, Taika Waititi do a good job of recreating the original intent, itâs for the love of all things Python that we watch. Letting that go will help you to just have fun in Waititiâs world, as itâs impossible to forget Gilliamâs, especially with familiar phrases like âpointed stickâ coming out of nowhere on occasion. Hold onto the love youâll feel when you hear them, but fall just as hard for this new creation, as well. If you do, youâll have a good time.

âBad Monkeyâ is based on the novel of the same name, written by Carl Hiassen. Itâs 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 wonât be that harsh. Itâs just not enough of cute Crystal the Monkey from âHangover 2â and âNight at the Museumâ and more of the same from Vince Vaughn, who plays Andrew Yancy.

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 RenĂŠ Redzepi of Noma, is another animal. Itâs the perfect dish, no matter how you serve it. Â Read more

If you saw the movie âTwister,â directed by Jan de Bont, starring Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Cary Elwes and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, go into âTwistersâ knowing one thing. There are only a few respectable differences between the two. Director Lee Isaac Chung, from âManari,â 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.
