Movie Review: “The Chamber” (2018)
The Ben Parker written and directed film, “The Chamber,” is not for anyone with a fear of enclosed spaces. Much of the film’s 87 minute runtime is devoted wholly to a small group of people on board a no-longer-top-of-the-line submarine… Read More ›
Movie Review: “Game Night” (2018)
Movie trailers can be deceiving. To watch a trailer for the new film, “Game Night,” one might think that they were being setup to see a middling comedy, something with a few chuckles no doubt, but also with much potential… Read More ›

I hate being hyperbolic, especially at the top of a review, but it would not be going too far to say that I love Alex Garland’s new film, “Annihilation.” With a screenplay from Garland, based on a book by Jeff… Read More ›

Movie Review: “Peter Rabbit”
The dizzying speed at which Peter Rabbit and the camera move along at the opening of the new film based upon the classic stories by Beatrix Potter makes it abundantly clear that this is not your grandfather’s bunny. The characters… Read More ›
“Lass is More” Gets Spooky with “Winchester”

In Which my Eyes are Dilated and I Watch “I, Tonya”
Yesterday I went to the eye doctor (no, mom, nothing is wrong, just a regular old eye exam and, yes, mom, everything was fine). Naturally, the eye doctor dilated my pupils and thereby made it exceptionally difficult for me to… Read More ›
