Though it’s a slow burn, “A Love Song” takes its time for good reason. That is for the audience to feel every moment of Faye’s (Dickey) life as it passes by. It’s always lovely to see the very underrated and underused Dale Dickey (Hell or High Water, Winter’s Bone) get a part built just for her because it rarely does.

Bullet Train Movie Review
“Bullet Train” is a fast-moving, action-packed, darkly cynical romp along the rails with assassins, trouble-makers, and one mean conductor. The Japanese high-speed rail is the place for an all-out brawl, and a comedy of errors. It is superbly absurd, as suitcases get swapped, hit-men get hurt (and worse) and the general chaos extends past the end of the line. All Aboard! Read more

Vengeance Movie Review
“Vengeance” is a cleverly designed and intriguing look at certain divisions in the country. But it is completely wrapped up in a ‘fish-out-of-water’ tale in which an elite guy from New York City spends a considerable amount of time with a West Texas family. At first his reaction is disbelief, amazement, and some ridicule. But after a while, he begins to see the ‘Blue State’ principles that he has learned might be softened by the ‘Red State’ values that he finds can also ring true. Read more
Nope Movie Review
“Nope” is a movie that will take some common science-fiction and horror concepts and stands them on their head. It peels back the layers of complexity into simple and familiar scenes. There are questions that are suggested, and the movie plans to answer only a few of them. The rest of them are puzzles to be worked out and studied, like some jigsaw pieces that have been painted Black. Read more
