The Tender Bar Movie Review
We start the film when the main character, J.R., is relatively young. Then, we flash forward and back. He and his mom are moving back in with her parents at the start. Used to it only being him and his mom, you see how close they are, yet he tells her that he “likes having people” in his life now.

Matrix Resurrections Movie Review

(updated December 21, 2021)
Published by JMcNaughton
“Matrix Resurrections” comes back full circle as many of the cast and crew from the original “Matrix” ‘trilogy’ return. The ‘trilogy’ has become a ‘quadruplet’ of movies (is that even a thing?) with this recharged version of Man vs. Machine. Sit down in a comfy leather chair and then take the Red Pill to come along…
The Lost Daughter Movie Review
After watching, it’s not a shock to me to learn that “The Lost Daughter” is being considered for several Academy Awards. It’s visually alluring and captivating. Olivia Colman holds the audience’s attention almost totally alone, proving that it’s the action that makes a film, not constant dialogue.

Swan Song Movie Review
“Swan Song” is a dynamic roller coaster ride set in a time of robots and technology that do almost everything for us… except falling in love. The timeline is not long from our time now. The film is a romantic drama wrapped in science-fiction to give it more of an edge, which it succeeds in doing.

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” is the next installment for Marvel’s web-slinger hero. It involves a fantastic mix of the current MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) characters — mixed in with a few villains and heroes from the past. When a mystical spell deviates to very wrong direction, it rips open a hole in the ‘multiverse’. That means anything can — and WILL – happen to our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man…

Being the Ricardos Movie Review
“Being the Ricardos” is very aptly named because what director Aaron Sorkin’s latest movie does is take you through a somewhat scandalous week in the lives of this beloved couple, one you wouldn’t have expected to see. It’s not just about Lucy.
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were once the toast of the town, the bells of the Ball, you might say.

National Champions Movie Review
Bringing about the question of fairness authentically and genuinely that audiences can relate to, football fan and non-football fan alike, “National Champions” entertains us into thinking about more than just Saturday’s game. What of the athlete that gets us from the end of the baseball season to basketballs, allowing us not to miss either?
