Red Dot isn’t a movie without merits… sometimes its suspense works and the actors have charisma. It’s also a Swedish take on a city folks run into trouble in the country movie… a couple travel to the backwoods of Sweden … Continue reading
Flora & Ulysses is a “good enough” family film. It doesn’t seem to have any inspiration to rise above what it is: a basic Disney family-friendly fantasy adventure about a superhero squirrel. And, hey, when you have all the Marvel … Continue reading

I’d prepped for the movie Mank by rewatching Citizen Kane, having not seen it since college. But it took me a few tries to get into this new film on Netflix… but it is a David Fincher movie and I’ve … Continue reading
Dance movies are not exactly in my wheelhouse; you tell me it’s good dancin’, I’ll take your word. So not sure why I randomly picked out this Netflix offering… but not really regretting having done so. Work It is about … Continue reading
