No Time to Die Movie Review
“No Time to Die” is the pandemic-delayed James Bond movie that notches number 25 in the series. The things that make a ‘Bond’ movie special are all on display, such as fantastic action sequences, beautiful locations and beautiful women. But there is also large tinge of sadness, like a final passing of an era.
Black as Night Movie Review
Streaming on Amazon Prime starting Oct. 1, 2021
“Black as Night” is a movie that comes from Blumhouse Television, and it usually means a low budget and a high concept. Sometimes, the low budget can be low quality. But in this case, the idea and setting mingle to make a nice updated version of “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer”. But this movie is set in the rundown areas of New Orleans, well after Katrina. So the mix between horror and social commentary becomes unavoidable. So this Amazon Original movie raises the ‘stakes’ for quality entertainment.

I’m Your Man Movie Review
In Latin, Alma Mater means nourishing/bounteous mother. I tell you this because Maren Eggert, one of the film’s two main stars, plays a woman named Alma. Alma, in fact, nourishes the thirst for knowledge within the artificial life she has agreed to study.

Dear Evan Hansen Movie Review
May I start by asking filmmakers to help me out? Please stop having people shove their heads into the toilet, vomiting out their stomach-churning panic and dread every time they’re upset! I’ve seen more heads in toilets than I ever saw after a frat party! I, for one, would like to say that it’s getting old.
