“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

All the Old Knives Movie Review
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
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
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
“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
Master Movie Review
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.

X Movie Review
“X” is the title, but not the rating, of this horror movie. The plot twist revolves about a group of people making a porno film in 1979 in a backwoods of Texas. But when the cast and crew hook-up with the worst Hosts in the pre-AirBnB era, then the irony drips freely. Just like the blood from the edge of the knife… Read more
The Outfit Movie Review
“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…
Compartment No. 6 Movie Review
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.”
