Charlie’s Angels Movie Review

“Charlie’s Angels” has a long history, first as TV show with the ‘Angels’ kicking butt and looking fine. Then later as a movie version (and a sequel) that had new and different ‘Angels’ kicking butt and looking fine.

Doctor Sleep Movie Review

If asked, I’d sum up this movie in one sentence. I’d say that it’s about a depraved matriarchal killer named Rose the Hat (Ferguson). She started her bloodshed over a century ago, and moves around the country with her band of misfit vampires, for lack of a better word, looking for souls to steal along the way.

If you’re an Ed Norton fan, and I can’t imagine you’re not, he will not disappoint you with his latest directorial effort, which he also wrote the screenplay for, ‘Motherless Brooklyn.’ Doing double duty behind the camera wasn’t good enough; he also stars in it and turns in another exceptional performance.

“Motherless Brooklyn” is a movie set in 1950’s New York, but the unmistakable location is “Chinatown”. Based on a novel from the 90’s (and also set in that time period), this version makes a jump to the ‘Film Noir’ Big Apple borough period, with wide lapel coats and fedoras all around. It is detective story, wrapped up in big city corruption and vice. Read more

Dolemite Is My Name Movie Review

In this incredibly impressive performance of all-around entertainer, Rudy Ray Moore, Academy Award nominee, Eddie Murphy, becomes Moore and his famous film character, Dolemite. ‘Dolemite Is My Name’ is a tribute to Moore who spent every penny he had to follow his dreams and be what his farmer father said he could never be… somebody. The 1970s Blaxploitation phenomenon didn’t know what was about to hit them.
