(***) “I need to be in your line of work,” she says coyly. Then she warily observes, “But you can’t seem to look me in the eye.” So, what’s with this dude? In an era of superhero movies, family animation films and blockbuster sequels, it’s nice when adults get a smart crime/thriller thrown their way. […]
Black Voices Come Alive at 2026 Sundance Film Festival
Black filmmakers, actors and films were an integral part of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. And now that the event is leaving Park City, Utah after 40+ years, they were around to say farewell to the old and welcome the new. In 2027 the fest is headed to Boulder, Colorado. If I Go Will They […]
Mercy
(**1/2) “Do you honestly think that I killed my wife?” At the beginning of the ground-breaking horror film 28 Days Later, a bicycle courier (Cillian Murphy) is involved in a near-fatal accident, comatose and wakes up in a hospital bed to discover that London is empty. A shocker opening. This cyber thriller, which delves into AI […]
Primate
(***) Monkey see. Monkey kill. Chimpanzee gone wild is a rare one for the horror genre. But not a preposterous premise. Anyone who remembers back to news stories in February 2009, may recall Travis a male chimpanzee. He was the pet of Sandra Herold since he was three-days old. As he grew up, townspeople in […]
Is This Thing On?
(***) “Um… I think I’m getting a divorce.” Most future ex-husbands would confide that to friends, family or a therapist. But this lost-in-his-feelings middle-aged man tells an audience of comedy club patrons. Folks who came looking for a laugh. Actor turned filmmaker Bradley Cooper heads this com/rom/dra. His last ventures, A Star is Born and Maestro, were extremely […]
Marty Supreme
(***1/2) He’s reckless and ambitious. A loser who never gives up. Born poor but has rich man dreams. Dreams he’s desperate to fulfill. For Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet), life on New York’s Lower East Side in the 1950s is a trap. He’s been looking for a way out of his low-income Jewish American community since […]

Hamnet — 2025 Toronto International Film Festival
(****) She and the forest are one. Some might call her a witch. But they’d be wrong. She’s more like a daughter of mother nature. Destined for love and tragedy of Shakesperean proportions. Something she could foretell: “The women in my family see things.” Sometimes she lays curled up at the base of a tree. […]
