Watched a new Netflix original (with a forgettable title) named Dangerous Lies. Not a movie that will set the world on fire but it’s a tight, tense little thriller. A down-on-their-luck couple takes care of an old man in … Continue reading
The new Invisible Man movie was released this weekend so I gave it a look. This is more-or-less a new movie in the stable of the Universal Monsters, a theoretical-but-not-really remake or reboot of the series. And possibly-but-not-really the latest … Continue reading
Checked out a new suspense (maybe horror) movie called The Lodge. I hadn’t seen a trailer but I had seen that some reviewers were calling it the best horror movie of the year and others the worst movie of the … Continue reading

Checked out the new NYC-based cops ‘n crooks flick 21 Bridges. It’s about shutting down Manhattan and has raised the question of how many actual bridges that is. I’m not an expert on NY geography so I’ll stay out of … Continue reading
