I so wanted to like this movie. James Ponsoldt directed ‘End of the Tour!’ I loved that movie! So, I went in knowing I would love this, too. That’s not fair, though. One should go in with an open mind and have no expectations, not compare one film to another. Read more
Jo Koy is brilliant. The way he performs is antsy mixed with frantic and cocksure. You just never know what’s coming next. In my opinion, he’s one of the best stand-ups working today.

Though it’s a slow burn, “A Love Song” takes its time for good reason. That is for the audience to feel every moment of Faye’s (Dickey) life as it passes by. It’s always lovely to see the very underrated and underused Dale Dickey (Hell or High Water, Winter’s Bone) get a part built just for her because it rarely does.

This is an incredibly multilayered story. If suspense in your movies is what you like, this movie is for you. The reason to see “Resurrection” is the fact that it’s an IFC thriller. The reason to keep watching once you’ve started is the brilliant casting of Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth, who shows how accomplished they’ve become.

In 1992, director Anthony Pullen Shaw adapted Paul Gallico’s novel “Mrs. ‘Arris Goes to Paris” into a film starring Angela Lansbury and Omar Sharif. The book was the first in a series about a maid who works for well-to-do clients who treat her as though she owes them something.

Bowen Hammitt has congenital heart disease (CHD). He was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome or only half a heart. “Bowen’s Heart” is the documentary chronicling what the entire Hammitt family went through and is still going through while Bowen fights this chronic illness. Read more
“Marcel the Shell with Shoes On” is about as cute as it gets. In my opinion, the dialogue, circumstances and situations that arise around this little stop-motion animated shell seem to be geared toward adults. Still, the kids will go crazy for this adorable little guy and the darling voice Jenny Slate has given him. I think we all need a little cute in our life right now, so I can’t help but suggest you watch.
