“The Outfit” is a movie, as it seems, ‘tailor-made’ to display the talents of the main star. Being a British import into 1950’s gangster-infused Chicago, the main character (a professional tailor, pardon me, ‘cutter’) is there to give some suave class to his ‘gentlemen’. Creating all the stylish suits worn by the mobster elite brings a tense situation to his clothing shop late one night…
Something I didn’t know going in was that “Compartment No. 6” is based on Rosa Liksom’s 2011 novel. The film has the same name as the book, though it was initially titled “Hytti nro 6.”

“Lucy and Desi” is a wonderful heartwarming documentary of the most unusual couple in Hollywood history. The Comedian and the Cuban, both minor stars on their own, had teamed up to become a powerhouse of early television. Read more
“The Batman” is a film-noir style of detective story that features the person who fights crime in a suit dressed like a bat. The dark heart of the corrupt city is bringing terror and misery into the streets. This Batman is out to take down as many criminals as he can, and his status as a vigilante is growing. Read more
“Studio 666” is a blood-drenched, horror-gorified satanic festival of murder, mayhem and foul language. In other words, it’s just another day hanging around with Dave Grohl and the band ‘Foo Fighters’. Well, maybe not quite as many dead bodies in real life. Oh, face it – Dave is probably just an ordinary middle-aged guy, who happens to be a Rock Star. Read more
“Dog” sounds as though it will be nothing more than a remake of an older movie — “Turner and Hooch in Fatigues”. But no, this movie gets into a quite different aspect of the ‘odd couple’ pairing of one ex-Army Ranger and one ex-Army Ranger canine.
“Uncharted” is a movie based off a popular video game. But it is also similar to a particular Wall Street security. It is very Derivative! But all of the other movies that it borrows from are fun adventurous thrill rides. So another name for this movie might be “International Goonie Pirates of the DaVinci Treasure Code Island”…
“The Cursed” is a spooky movie about a creature that stalks a wealthy landowner and his family in France. But the father of this group had brought about his own misfortune, along with the town elders.
In time for Valentine’s Day, I advise you to say “Yes” to “Marry Me.” Sadly, I’m more referring to the song performed by Lopez and Latin music star Maluma rather than the movie. No. The movie isn’t that bad for your typical rom com it’s just what it is… your typical rom com. With that said, for a film of this ilk, the songs were quite good all around.

“Blacklight” – Hey it’s no longer only a far-out glow-in-the-dark poster at Spencer’s in the Mall. Now it is a full-blown movie. But this run-of-the-mill thriller is a new way to bring some action to some older actors. There is a big conspiracy at a major government agency, and the hero will get some help from an up-and-coming new journalist. Stop me if you’ve heard this before…
