The Marksman
![]() (Alyn Darnay) 1/14/2021 6:08 PM EST When I was a kid, about the same age as the character Miguel in this film, my folks gave me a present. It was a box full of numbered little bottles of paint and a canvas outline of a horse in a corral divided up into small sections with numbers corresponding to the paint bottles. It was called "Paint By Numbers" and it was very popular at... Read More |
One Night In Miami
![]() (Allison Skornick-Rose) 1/13/2021 9:29 PM EST Four, young, black men walk into a room…it may sound like the beginning of a joke but, in fact, it is the foundation for Regina King's (If Beale Street Could Talk) directorial debut, One Night in Miami. Inspired by true events, the film brings together four Iconic Black men who, in the midst of the Civil Rights movement, wielded great ... Read More |
Soul
![]() (Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/22/2020 5:55 PM EST Let's face it…it wouldn't be the holiday season without at least one Disney/Pixar film being released. These family-friendly fares are a perfect way for parents and children (and maybe even grandparents) to spend time together, munching on snacks in a dark theater during the holiday break. Of course, this year will be a l... Read More |
Wonder Woman 1984
![]() (Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/21/2020 10:29 PM EST If you were born in the ‘70's you certainly remember Lynda Carter (Sky High) as Wonder Woman on television. You will also (hopefully) remember the mid-1980's. If so, Wonder Woman 1984 will be a stroll down memory lane for you with shoulder pads, tracksuits, and large, curly hairstyles. The highly anticipated sequel once agai... Read More |
News of The World
![]() (Alyn Darnay) 12/17/2020 10:44 AM EST Once upon a time…Hollywood cranked out one Western Film after another. Audiences loved them; they couldn't get enough rough riding, bad guys, good guys, crooked sheriffs, gunfights, lone heroes, and cliffhanging rescues. They made cowboys the biggest movie stars. Then tastes changed and the western all but faded away, morphing into what are ... Read More |
Songbird
![]() (Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/14/2020 9:50 AM EST What would be the best time to film and release a movie about a pandemic? In the middle of a pandemic, of course. That is exactly what director Adam Mason (The Devil's Chair) did this past summer while Los Angeles was on lockdown. Songbird, which is being distributed this month by STX Films, is the result of this venture. Wr... Read More |
Half Brothers
![]() (Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/4/2020 12:39 PM EST With so many marriages ending in divorce is it inevitable that there will be blended families. Step- and half siblings have become sort of the norm, at least in the United States. But what if you never knew you have a brother or sister? What if your dad left when you were a child and promised to come back, but he never did? ... Read More |

Sound of Metal
![]() (Allison Skornick-Rose) 11/20/2020 9:47 AM EST The saying goes…be careful what you wish for, you may just get it. To put it another way, if you get what you think you wish for you may be disappointed with the results. Sometimes, it's better to just be satisfied with and grateful for what you have already instead of trying to "fix" things. This lesson plays ou... Read More |
Freaky
![]() (Alyn Darnay) 11/14/2020 8:20 PM EST What do you need to spin a yarn about teenagers in danger, that twists the usual Slasher/Comedy film in some unique way, yet stays true to the original genre?Simple. First, you borrow every cliché in every film of its type that came before it and blends it into a slickly shot, gory, playtime piece that your projected audience is both used to... Read More |
