Música on Amazon Prime gets by on an upbeat, bright vibe and a winning performance from Camila Mendez… who isn’t the star of the show. It stumbles and flails with its actual lead as played by Rudy Mancuso. He almost … Continue reading
Immediately I was taken out of this movie by my pedantic annoyance at the title. It should be French-Canadian Girl. <shakes tiny fist in impotent, irrelevant rage>. But one could equally argue it should be called Meet The Canadian Parents. … Continue reading
Journey to Bethlehem opens with a title card saying it’s based on a true story… the greatest story ever told, as it turns out. This comforts me because it suggests the movie I’m watching is just a tribute (you gotta … Continue reading
Molli and Max in the Future is a very silly, very corny pup sci-fi satire of romantic comedy… and also a very good romantic comedy at that. It absolutely shouldn’t work but by the third act, I was surprisingly engaged … Continue reading

Sadly, Upgraded is not the sequel to Leigh Whannell’s 2018 sci-fi film Upgrade… but is instead a mashup of standard rom-com tropes with a spiritual successor to The Devil Wears Prada (not a single cyborg implant in sight!). It stars … Continue reading
