As I watched David Fincher’s latest film, Mank, my main feeling was one of wanting to like the film more than I actually did. I mean, really, the film sounds like it was specifically made to appeal to me. It’s a film about the Golden Age of Hollywood, which is an era that has always […]

‘On the Rocks’: Film Review- DC’s Take
New to the neighborhood. So everybody’s favorite prehistoric family is back, and I’m not talking about the Flintstones. The Croods are searching for a place that they can call home, and they think that they may have found it when they come across the primitive equivalent of a gated community. The only trouble is that […]
Coming Out of My Cave – The Croods: A New Age (2020)
I was lucky enough to see this at the London Film Festival, where the film was preceded by a (Zoom) interview with the co-directors and producer. It gave some background information, including the score, new animation techniques, and the challenges posed by the pandemic, that really helped to appreciate the film more. (Seriously, there are […]

Hijinks at the Fire Department – Playing with Fire (2019)
Around a year ago, I reviewed a short entitled Meet the Author and directed by actor Steve Blackwood (Days of Our Lives, In the Light of the Moon, Beyond the Mask). The comedy taking place in a library and introducing an unpopular author was a pleasant one to watch and revealed Blackwood’s talent at writing […]
Short Film Review: “Stuck” (Steve Blackwood, 2020)
Looking to be frightened I chose Wes Craven’s Shocker. I had never seen it and while watching it, had no recollection. I wasn’t too shocked or frightened. Then again, as a pre-senior, I’ve experienced scarier parts of life. I’m sorry, it’s hard to watch movies nowadays and see the stupid shit, based on how […]

Nostalgia Review: Doctor Dolittle (1998)
Something vital occurs when an actor discovers their perfect persona – an extrapolation of their whole comic world that carries an entire world along with it. So it was with Billy Madison, Adam Sandler’s film about a developmentally challenged twenty-something who retakes every school grade in twenty-four weeks to make himself eligible to inherit his […]

The series plays fast and loose with history and sometimes loses its grip.

Death To 2020 (2020), Cristin Milioti, Netflix My favourite thing about Netflix’s Death to 2020, a comedic retrospective of the year that was 2020 is the phrase ‘Prime Ministerial scarecrow, Boris Johnson.’ I laugh every time I re-read it, because it’s true. There’s certainly a handful of more amusing moments within the show, whether it’s […]
DEATH TO 2020 (2020): The Thing I Liked…
