MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER: Bridge and Tunnel (television mini-series critique)

A.B.C. and Marvel are making a smart, unique move right now. They’ve cut Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s sophomore season into two halves, ending the first on a great cliffhanger that makes us hate (in a good way) that we have to wait until March for the second half. In the meantime, we get to see the […]

MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER: Now is Not the End (television mini-series critique)

I’ve always loved Hollywood’s rendition of World War II. Don’t get me wrong, Saving Private Ryan and Flags of our Father are great, important films and I totally get that war is hell, but when I need a break from true history, I enjoy the romanticized version. The Great Escape. The Dirty Dozen. Indiana Jones […]

PROJECT Poster

“PROJECT ALMANAC” (Film Review)

  Tweens, Teens and early twenties should like Project Almanac, a fast paced Sci-fi thriller with respectable acting and creative direction. The target audience will especially like the hand held cinematography reminiscent of Project X that continues throughout giving the film a rocky roller coaster feel. It’s a fun film with a little romance to […]

STILL ALICE poster

Still Alice, a Heartfelt Drama that Delivers a Punch (Film Review)

  One of the most heartfelt films for 2014 Still Alice opens wide this weekend. Having lived with the debilitating forces of Alzheimer’s within my family I can say it’s a very realistic depiction. The film has an excellent director with a crew and cast that’s perfectly lead by Julianne Moore in the title role. It’s a […]

SELMA poster

Selma, a Flashback to a Landmark for Equal Rights (Film Review)

  Bold, poignant and triumphant, the movie Selma shows the determination of a leader who guides his devoted followers to equal rights. Not just for them, but all races who have been denied the right to choose the leader of this country. Teeming with a core of fine actors under the direction of Ava DuVernay, […]
