The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Movie Review

April 21, 2022 (updated April 20, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” is a meta-concept movie of an actor playing a fictionalized version of himself. This has been done before, of course. But never in such a “Nick Cage” way! There is a lot of meta-humor in this movie, seeing that the main character is a fictionalized version of Nicolas Cage. Gee – I wonder who would be nuts enough to play that role? Read more

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore Movie Review

April 14, 2022 (updated April 14, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” is the next movie in the JK Rowling “Wizarding World”. But based on the crammed and jammed details of People, Places and Beasts that this movie covers, it begins to fall into the “Bewildering World”. It is mishmash of Wizard-level ‘Big Ideas’ that come across as half-baked content. The visually stunning effects are fun, but the long slog of run time make you feel like Muggle forced to take the 5th year O.W.L.S test. I mean, it’s a struggle to keep up… Read more

COW Movie Review

April 8, 2022 (updated April 8, 2022) Published by Shari K. Green

A cow’s life on her dairy farm is typically no longer than four or five years. Why is her life cut so short? Various reasons. The most common is because she becomes too fatigued after constantly being kept pregnant to continue to produce milk. She may also become protective of her babies, meaning she is not as willing to do as she’s told and is unpredictable in her behavior. After watching this brilliant documentary, you can hardly blame her.

Ambulance Movie Review

April 7, 2022 (updated April 7, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“Ambulance” is a high-energy, high-octane roller-coaster ride with some quality actors careening down the streets of LA in said emergency vehicle. The plot asks you to completely turn off your brain and focus on the screen — so you view the motion and feel the emotion. This movie is directed by Michael Bay. He continues to show that he must have an unofficial catch phrase: ‘The Secret to Success is Using Too Much Excess”. Read more Ambulance Movie Review

All the Old Knives Movie Review

April 7, 2022 (updated April 7, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

Streaming on Amazon Prime and in limited
theater screenings starting April 8, 2022

“All the Old Knives” is a standard spy story where the Agency must have a ‘mole’ and one of the top agents is sent to sniff out who it might be. Except that the event happened eight years ago. The interviewer has to determine the guilt of the potential mole. But this person is the ex-lover and prior co-worker of said agent/interviewer. Plus, the ‘interview’ is off-the-record and occurs at a swanky seaside restaurant.

Mothering Sunday Movie Review

March 31, 2022 (updated March 31, 2022) Published by Shari K. Green

While watching “Mothering Sunday,” I knew that it would be a difficult review. Reading that it was based on a novel, I immediately felt that perhaps it should have remained one for as hard as director Eva Husson tried, she didn’t quite manage to get the story to leap off the page as it seemed too far a stretch.

You Won’t Be Alone Movie Review

March 31, 2022 (updated March 31, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

You Won’t Be Alone” is a foreign language supernatural folktale, told in a meandering method. The focus is on an ancient scary story of witches in the mountain villages of Macedonia. The scenery of the area is beautiful, and the acting is strong. But this would not be awarded first place by the Macedonia Tourism Board.

The Lost City Movie Review

March 24, 2022 (updated March 22, 2022) Published by JMcNaughton

“The Lost City” is a modern-day romp that feels like it was pulled from the 1980’s. The jungle adventure adds some weight to the lead character’s distress. A popular romance novel writer and her fabulous cover model friend get pulled into a reenactment of the latest work of fiction. Then add in some kidnapping, general havoc, and some fabled treasures on a Caribbean island — then you have the makings of a crazy tale. Read more The Lost City Movie Review

Master Movie Review

March 18, 2022 (updated March 18, 2022) Published by Shari K. Green

Writer/Director Mariama Diallo is laying down a fierce message in her debut film “Master.” As well as a fun horror-thriller, it seems to be a comment on racism in society as a whole in this country. What’s out there is the truth, whether you want to believe it or not. It’s a frightening thing to see, but you mustn’t look away.
