“Shortcomings” is a story about two young Asian Americans who have a relationship, but not an ideal one. At least, that’s from Ben’s (Justin H. Min) point of view because he can’t find happiness no matter who he’s with.

Coming out today is “The Baker.” It was filmed in the Cayman Islands in 2021. You finally get to see their work. The plot is relatively simple. It stars Ron Perlman, the huge man you’ll never not see as “Hell Boy.” He also had a stint on “Sons of Anarchy” as Clay Marrow and he had a role as Curtis Sunday in a little-known film that I happen to love (and you should see) called “Local Color.”

Disney is hoping the numbers on “Haunted Mansion” are strong enough to have “Pirates of the Caribbean” types of spin-offs. That series alone has generated more than $4.5 billion at the box office… and they’re not even done making them!

You’ll relate to this film if you went to any sort of camp while growing up. After watching the screening, when asked what my initial reaction to “Theatre Camp” was, I had to respond with, “You can feel Will Ferrell all over it.” Though he didn’t write or direct, his having been involved in the production of the film cast quite an impression, so much so that you will sense him.

Christopher Nolan’s films, including Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception and The Dark Knight, have earned over $5 billion at the global box office. They’ve also received 11 Oscars, but they’ve never received Best Picture. “Oppenheimer” won’t get the director this award either, in my opinion.
Set in Dublin in 1967, “The Miracle Club” is about the tale of close friends, Lily (Maggie Smith), Eileen (Kathy Bates), and Dolly (Agnes O’Casey), who live in a somewhat troubled town of Ballygar, outside of Dublin, Ireland. Agnes O’Casey holds her own with who could be considered some of the best actresses of our time. You’d think they, indeed were close with one another.
