Saltburn
I’m thrilled I didn’t have the slightest clue what this movie was going in. I just knew it had buzz. When it begins at Oxford with a golden boy and an average guy, I wondered if it was going to … Continue reading

Caine Mutiny Court Martial, The
I saw the original Caine Mutiny starring Humphry Bogart so long ago I can’t remember the details so watching this remake was a pleasure. I love this kind of stage-play passion… a fiery, dramatic actors’ movie. The film is about … Continue reading

Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie
I’ve always been a fan of Michael J. Fox since his early days on Family Ties. Back to the Future, Teen Wolf, Doc Hollywood, and even Spin City which I only watched a little (my sitcom watching days were fading). … Continue reading
