Honest Thief

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 10/14/2020 10:23 AM EST
There is a saying that starts, "the love of a good woman…", which makes one wonder what is it that love could do. Could it heal a sick person? Could it turn someone evil? Or perhaps it could make someone change their illegal ways and want to become a better person. The thought is a noble one, but could it really happen?... Read More

The War With Grandpa

With the ever-growing population and advancements in medicine, people tend to live longer than they did in the past. This has created the need for more and more nursing homes and assisted living facilities, which seem to spring up constantly (especially where I live in South Florida). It is rarer these days to find multiple generations ... Read More

Tenet

(Nathan M Rose) 8/31/2020 7:52 AM EST
Director Christopher Nolan (Inception) has always wanted to make a James Bond-type spy thriller. We saw him toy with the idea in The Dark Knight Rises, and finally this year, a year riddled with issues, Tenet, Nolan's take on a James Bond story, comes to the theaters during a crazy time in the world.Tenet is a very hard film to define (which is why...

Irresistible

The political climate in the United States has been more volatile than I have ever seen before. Potential candidates are spending millions and millions of dollars to win any election they can and it honestly seems to be getting out of control as the country becomes more divided. But where does that leave the small-town folks who just wa... Read More

You Should Have Left

(Alyn Darnay) 6/18/2020 10:37 AM EST
It seems that there have been a few really enjoyable horror films around these days. You know the ones, they keep you guessing and at one or two points you get that scare that lifts you out of your chair and makes your heart beat faster. True horror aficionados live for these exquisite ‘Levitation Scenes' and will stay through some pretty... Read More

7500

Long before September 11, 2001, there had been airplanes hijacked all over the world. However, after the events that occurred on that fateful day, the world, especially the United States, have become much more cautious about security screenings. Those planes that were taken over on United States soil were a wakeup call that we are livin... Read More

Da 5 Bloods

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/11/2020 3:20 PM EST
Spike Lee (Do the Right Thing) has a truly powerful voice which translates into his storytelling and directing style. He generally gravitates towards topics that highlight the injustices suffered by African-Americans and his films are often polarizing. Four of his movies, Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, 4Little Girls and She's Gotta Have... Read More

The King of Staten Island

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/8/2020 12:01 PM EST
The name Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-old Virgin) has become synonymous with successful, comedic films in Hollywood. Pete Davidson (The Dirt) started his career in the comedy club scene and moved up to become a regular on Saturday Night Live. When Apatow directed Davidson in a small role in 2015's Trainwreck he knew Davidson was something spe... Read More

The High Note

(Alyn Darnay) 5/29/2020 8:37 AM EST
You rarely hear me fawning over a movie, but when I finally get the opportunity to review a really enjoyable film, well, it's just Great. "The High Note" is such a film. It hits all the right "Notes". It doesn't take itself too seriously, it isn't too heavy, or preachy, or over-wroth with emotion, it just slides right into that ... Read More

The High Note

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/25/2020 12:00 PM EST
The glamorous world of the Los Angeles music scene isn't all it's cracked up to be. Just ask all the celebrities' personal assistants. They run around ragged always trying to please their incredibly demanding employers. Meanwhile, they have dreams of their own. Let's face it… many of them live in the entertainment hub... Read More
