When it comes to telling a story about charity, and a real one for that matter, I always say you have two choices.  On one hand you can sit comfortably and let the story take its own course without even hinting at trying to stay off the beaten past of what constitutes a compelling tale

Lisa Hepner and Guy Mossman’s The Human Trial is a documentary about a subject that perhaps you’ve heard tons about. In the hyperconnected world we live in, it’s easy to have access to factual information about health issues in the modern world. Information is accessible, which doesn’t mean you should get your facts from a

With Detective Knight: Rogue, you know what you’re gonna get. There’s no other reason to sit through a film of this nature than an unconditional love for a genre known for having little to no versatility. This is an action film that feels like a straightforward decision executed by someone who understands he isn’t going

One thing’s for certain. After watching Alison Stover and Joe Benedetto’s The Four Walls of Charlotte Moreland you will reflect upon yourself and analyze whatever you’re part of. This kind of self-discovery and self-exploration isn’t automatic with most films, but the duo’s production calls for something different as it portrays a delicate subject without much

If we add the action genre to this equation, it’s even more rare. But do you actually remember action films having good scripts aside from

Deep in the center of a film like Clean Slate, there lies a shot of reality that’s not very common in stories of this nature.  We’re talking about human beings overcoming something that seems impossible to understand for them, but that’s quite obvious for the rest who haven’t gone through the effects of addiction.

Viola Davis towers in a fierce and gut-wrenching portrayal of courage. The Woman King is literally unlike any film I have seen. For the first time, Hollywood delivers a historical epic about and driven by the travails of black female warriors. Davis and a sublime supporting cast grace a sweeping narrative that touches many difficult

Strap on your proton pack, holster the PKE meter, and rev up Ecto-1 for a rollicking good time at the theater. I am overjoyed to report that Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a fantastic sequel on all fronts. It brilliantly captures the fun, humor, and heart of the original. Director Jason Reitman has successfully taken the reins

A-list Hollywood stars have zero chemistry in an utterly tiresome and contrived heist flick. Red Notice takes Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot on a globetrotting egg hunt. Each actor phones in their trademark mannerisms for an action-comedy template. There’s little original or engaging despite the big-budget action scenes and exotic locales. Red Notice
