The Goldfinch Movie Review
“The Goldfinch” is adapted from a popular novel. The visual ideas that are pulled from the pages are not the same as the mental images that a person would get from reading the book. The movie is lush with visual flair and rich with literary and artistic meaning. But the emotional connections that it desperately wants to forge are never made clear. Read more
It Chapter Two Movie Review
‘It Chapter Two’ will both please and displease its fans. If you noticed the run time, that’s the disappointing part. I’ll get to that in a minute. Read more
One Child Nation Movie Review
‘One Child Nation’ is a difficult film to watch but an important one. You have to see this because as a human on this planet, you should be concerned with what an authoritarian government has done and is still willing to do to people. Perhaps one should watch with an eye toward seeing it as a cautionary tale. It is not a yarn; not a fable. Read more
Tigers Are Not Afraid – Movie Review
The film opens by throwing incredibly frightening statistics out at us. We’re told that in Mexico, since 2006 which was when the ‘war on drugs’ began, 160,000 people have been killed and that 53,000 have ‘disappeared.’ And those numbers don’t include the children!

I must admit something to you. I have never seen ‘Fiddler on the Roof.’ I’ve never been interested, nor have I thought it would be very good. I like the influential musicals; the deep and meaningful stories that aren’t just fancy but really touch the heart. This show didn’t seem to fit that mold. Was I wrong!! ‘Fiddler’ is everything I just described and much, much more!

Aquarela Movie Review
This movie is magnificent. Its essence is beauty and its message, sublime. The subject of this film is stunning in its might but also reminds us that it has an unforgiving disposition when pushed too far. This film shows us every one of those elements and more.
‘Aquarela’ is a must-see and I suggest you see it in the most significant theatre possible.

‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ just might be the kick in the pants you need to motivate you into getting off the couch and ‘doing it!’ Whatever that ‘it’ happens to be for you, this movie does the job of making you feel as if any and every goal is attainable.
