Bodies Bodies Bodies Movie Review

August 11, 2022 (updated August 18, 2022) Published by

“Bodies Bodies Bodies” is a wonderfully stylized movie that is like Agatha Christie on Tik-Tok using an Instagram filter. In other words, it is a classic ‘murder house mystery’ but done with the hip and up-to-date attitudes of today’s Generation Z age group. It combines some sharp social commentary and a mistaken who-dun-it mystery. Basically it a fascinating melding of “Get Out” meets “Knives Out”. But with much more alcohol, drugs and glow sticks…

Vengeance Movie Review

July 28, 2022 (updated August 2, 2022) Published by

“Vengeance” is a cleverly designed and intriguing look at certain divisions in the country. But it is completely wrapped up in a ‘fish-out-of-water’ tale in which an elite guy from New York City spends a considerable amount of time with a West Texas family. At first his reaction is disbelief, amazement, and some ridicule. But after a while, he begins to see the ‘Blue State’ principles that he has learned might be softened by the ‘Red State’ values that he finds can also ring true. Read more

Nope Movie Review

The rest of them are puzzles to be worked out and studied, like some jigsaw pieces that have been painted Black. Read more

Apples Movie Review

July 1, 2022 (updated July 2, 2022) Published by

“Apples” is a foreign-language movie (Greek) that is from a first-time Writer and Director. Many times this can mean you could be in for a treat, a very personal take about a very deep subject. Yet many other times, it could mean that you can watch a meandering effort that offers up a promising premise, but then it sputters out like a wet wick. When you hope for the former, but you actually get the latter — well, it can drive you Bananas!

Master Movie Review

March 18, 2022 (updated March 18, 2022) Published by

Writer/Director Mariama Diallo is laying down a fierce message in her debut film “Master.” As well as a fun horror-thriller, it seems to be a comment on racism in society as a whole in this country. What’s out there is the truth, whether you want to believe it or not. It’s a frightening thing to see, but you mustn’t look away.
