Empire of Light Movie Review
I was looking very forward to “Empire of Light” based on its poster alone! It’s a solid visual of two people quietly celebrating the glory that is the event, the bringing about of fantastic fireworks in the sky. It turns out it’s just 1980 turning into 1981, but it looks like something more unique, as did the movie when I first saw the trailer.

Spoiler Alert Movie Review

(updated December 8, 2022)
Published by JMcNaughton
“Spoiler Alert” is a love story for this modern age. I mean it carries over from the 1970 movie “Love Story”, starring Ryan O’Neal and Ali McGraw. That is the one about star-crossed lovers who fall for each other and then one of them succumbs to a fatal disease. The story that says “love means never having to say you’re sorry”. This new movie is a true-life version, but with two gay man as the lovers. Read more
A Piece of Sky Movie Review
December 8, 2022
(updated December 8, 2022)
Published by JMcNaughton
“A Piece of Sky” shows that Switzerland is not just for travelogues and documentaries. This is a slow-moving drama about life in a small village in the Swiss Alps. The movie is one that might be considered for a Foreign Film nomination at the Academy Awards. At the Berlin Film Festival 2022, this received ‘special mention’. The sad story is told at a meandering pace, and it never quite leaves the valleys far below the peaks. Read more
The Eternal Daughter Movie Review
“The Eternal Daughter” is labeled a mystery, thriller and, through the trailer, sold as somewhat of a ghost story. Imagine my surprise when halfway through the hour-and-a-half movie, I hadn’t received a storyline matching either of the descriptions I had been expecting. I was perplexed. However, I do acknowledge that what I saw was spectacular beauty. I also witnessed one of my favorite actresses make it impossible for me to turn away from the screen.

The Inspection Movie Review
I liked “The Inspection” but found it regurgitated a lot from “An Officer and a Gentleman.” There were several scenes that dealt with similar themes and others that looked and felt like a carbon copy of the Taylor Hackford film. Of course, there is one big difference, and that difference is what ultimately makes “The Inspection” worth seeing. It’s somewhat autobiographical as director Elegance Bratton relives his own experience in boot camp as a gay Black marine in the mid-2000s.
The Fabelmans Movie Review
Everyone who loves movies remembers the film that pushed them toward their passion. Whether that passion led to watching every movie you could, reviewing or making films, that movie was special. For some, it was “Jaws,” created by Steven Spielberg, the subject of this film.
Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths Movie Review
Visually, this is one of the most stunning films I’ve ever seen. Having seen many of those lately, it’s easy to blow me off when I say that, but “Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths” is different. You could watch this movie without the sound on and still understand it. Unless you’re fluent in Spanish, you are anyway; since the subtitles fly by so quickly it’s hard to catch what they’re saying. But that’s okay. You don’t really need them. The sound design, cinematography and editing are impeccable, creating for you a world you’re still determining is real.
She Said Movie Review
The movie is reasonably cut-and-dry, but for those who didn’t jump deep into the story when it initially hit the airwaves, hearing about what a controlling beast Harvey Weinstein was, makes it worth the watch. The screenplay by Oscar® winner Rebekah Lenkiewicz doesn’t wander from the actual events, helping to set a timeline for how Weinstein’s harassment started and how it was allowed to continue.
