There are many themes that run through the movie Sinners. Whether they are intentional or if they are just my interpretation, that’s up to cinephiles, historians, and ultimately, the man himself; Ryan Coogler. One such theme is… Race Let’s not pussyfoot around. Had Ryan set this story in any other time period, would it beContinue reading “Sinners Review”

Tom Segura Has Bad Thoughts
Tom Segura is one of the best comedians in the industry, today. His humor and the way he tells his jokes are uniquely his own. My brother (who has his finger on the pulse of comedy) introduced me to his brand of comedy a while back and…I. Was. HOOKED. I think it began with hisContinue reading “Tom Segura Has Bad Thoughts”
Thunderbolts Review
When you put all these contrasting personalities in a room, it’s hard to picture them banning together to become a team. We got to see that in “real time”. Their ability to problem solve out of a situation was a highlight. A seemingly Herculean task for the third act. Especially when trying to vanquish anContinue reading “Thunderbolts Review”
Captain 4merica: Brave New World Review
Sam Wilson is not MY Captain America! Okay, before you start calling me a racist, let me explain. I like Sam Wilson. I like Anthony Mackie AS Sam Wilson. I like Sam Wilson AS Falcon. There’s quite a difference with that moniker. After Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) handed the shield over to Sam in Avengers:Continue reading “Captain 4merica: Brave New World Review”
Snow White 2025 Review
Full transparency: I had no desire to see this movie. The live-action remakes/retellings of these stories seem uninspired and uninteresting. Their angles for today’s audiences, are watered down. Safe. Unnecessary. I’d venture to guess the only reason to make them is to stoke interest in Disney’s theme parks. Or toy tie-ins. Am I wrong…? IContinue reading “Snow White 2025 Review”
Written In the Snow
Silver Ridge is a small town in Connecticut. The kind of place where everyone knows your name and nothing much happens. It’s December and Main Street is decorated for Christmas. Wreaths with red ribbons on every lamp post. People greeting one another with pleasantries and warm smiles. Everyone’s happy, it would seem, except for oneContinue reading “Written In the Snow”
6 Degrees of Kathryn Newton
I was talking to a friend about my recent write up for Lisa Frankenstein. I told him about how in my review, I had stated, the movie will find its audience. He then asked if I’d seen an interview with Freddie Prinze, Jr. talking about Star Wars fandom and how the audiences expect movies toContinue reading “6 Degrees of Kathryn Newton”
Rest In Peace: John Madden
I’m not into sports. You might be saying to yourselves, “But Chris, you’re talking about a sports figure”. True, believe it or not, I use to have my teams. The New York Yankees and The New York Giants. The extent of my sports involvement was watching friends play Madden for each release (40 of them?!).Continue reading “Rest In Peace: John Madden”
Marvel Team-Up: Black Widow & Shang-Chi
Who remembers the comic book, back in the day, called Marvel Team-Up? It was a series from Marvel Comics that usually had two or more characters join forces and battle a common foe. I’m taking that idea and giving a team-up of sorts. Two movies. One Review. When it comes to watching entries in the MCU,Continue reading “Marvel Team-Up: Black Widow & Shang-Chi”
TGIF: CT to NY for NYFF59
How do you get to Carnegie Hall…? Practice. How do you get to Lincoln Center…? You take the Metro North out of Milford to Grand Central. Hop the 1 to 66 St. and voilà! Okay, maybe it sounds better when Arnold Schwarzenegger or F. Murray Abraham is saying it but you get the point. In my recollection,Continue reading “TGIF: CT to NY for NYFF59”
