The System

The System Movie Review

October 27, 2022 (updated October 27, 2022) Published by

“The System” is a movie that takes an average ‘prison is hell’ scenario and says, how could we make this more exciting? I know – add the elements of ‘Thunderdome’ and ‘Fight Club’ to give it gritty hand-to-hand combat. Oh, and don’t forget the ‘sick daughter on the outside’ angle. And of course, the Warden who treats the prison as if it were his personal kingdom. Read more

The Return of Tanya Tucker: Featuring Brandi Carlile Movie Review

October 27, 2022 (updated October 27, 2022) Published by

“The Return of Tanya Tucker: Featuring Brandi Carlile” is a heckuva title for a documentary. But right at first, you can tell it is about Tanya Tucker. Tucker has been ‘gone’, but now she has returned. But it will also feature Brandi Carlile. So there is a lot you can tell from a movie title. But now to unpack the various details found so far, and see what it all means…

My Policeman Movie Review

October 21, 2022 (updated October 21, 2022) Published by

Michael Grandage’s “My Policeman” is set in Britain in the 1990s, yet it continuously flashes back to the 1950s. In those days, if a person were gay, they lived an underground life, hiding who they truly were. I’m speaking of those two decades and those between. Unfortunately, this story is as relevant now as it was then.

TILL Moive Review

October 21, 2022 (updated October 21, 2022) Published by

I believe it’s best to know the story of what happened to Emmett (Bobo) Till (Jalyn Hall) and what went on after his death when you see this film. Director Chinonye Chukwu, who was also one of the writers on the project, along with Michael Reilly & Keith Beauchamp, decided that the best point of view for her audience was the maternal one, for which you will agree.

Black Adam

Black Adam Movie Review

October 20, 2022 (updated October 20, 2022) Published by

“Black Adam” is larger-than-life Superhero movie, in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Of course, to play larger-than-life, you need someone who IS larger-than-life. Enter Dwayne Johnson, in his first comic book movie adaptation. Based on his size, perhaps the movie could have been called “The Incredible Bulk”. Or based on his earlier roles, “The Scorpion King: Extreme CGI Makeover”.

“Raymond and Ray” is an interesting movie about a dysfunctional family. In movies, are there any other types, other than dysfunctional? Two half-brothers are asked to attend the funeral and the burial of their father. Both of them harbor a deep hatred of the man who birthed them and raised them. Now what will happen when their common ‘enemy’ is gone?

Stars at Noon

Stars at Noon Movie Review

October 14, 2022 (updated October 14, 2022) Published by

“Stars at Noon” is a movie about wanting to get out — out of the country, as in the case of the young foreigners who find themselves unwanted and alone. They find each other, and then sexual tensions run as high as the humidity in that Central American country. Political actions and pandemic restrictions close them in tighter and tighter.  They find that all means of support are taken away, and they must rely on each other. But will the walls close in before they find an escape? Read more

Halloween Ends

Halloween Ends Movie Review

October 13, 2022 (updated October 13, 2022) Published by

“Halloween Ends” is a violent end to a violent film franchise. Way back in 1978, John Carpenter created a scary little slasher/horror movie. Just like his main character, Michael Myers, this franchise has taken on a life of its own. For the past 44 years, nothing, and nobody, has been able to kill Michael Myers. The same goes for this franchise. But now it Ends…
