Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody

December 28, 2022 By: superuser

(**1/2) It’s an illusion. When actress Naomi Ackie stands with her back to the camera, you stare at her clothes, wigs, physique and mannerisms and get tricked into thinking that’s Whitney Houston. Then she turns around, and it’s not. It’s a recurring mirage. A string of images that give Houston’s fans something to cling to.  Veteran record executive […]

Avatar: The Way of Water

December 14, 2022 By: superuser

(****) It’s more than you can possibly imagine. A fantasy world so vivid and real it commands your full attention for 3h 12m.  And when it’s done, you’ll still want to linger in this heightened state of make believe. You’d think after creating The Terminator, Aliens, Titanic and the ground-breaking Avatar that writer/director James Cameron had put all his creative cards on […]

Emancipation

December 5, 2022 By: superuser

(**) It’s a miscalculation. This film is built around a former slave seen in a horrific photo whose back bore the scars of whippings and evil vestiges of slavery. Reimagining his life is a noble endeavor, but this is the wrong execution.  Aside from a brief interview and the short news article “Whipped Slave,” which […]

Strange World

November 30, 2022 By: superuser

Strong familial conflict, magical adventures and timely social messaging make this animated feature a bit deeper than most.

The Wonder

November 21, 2022 By: superuser

(***) It’s a very simple story, at first. A modest allegory that pits religious fanaticism against common sense in a test of wills that slowly becomes biblical.  Ireland 1862, 13 years after the Great Famine of 1845/49 caused millions of deaths. Anna (Kíla Lord Cassidy), an 11-year-old girl living in the rural Irish Midlands, is […]

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

November 11, 2022 By: superuser

(****)Wow! You’ll say that over and over again as this mind-blowing, superhero epic unfolds. Wow! The loss of King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), aka Black Panther, weighs heavily on the people of Wakanda. More so on his sister Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright) and his mother Queen Ramonda (Angel Bassett). They try to move forward but are paralyzed […]

Wendell & Wild

November 11, 2022 By: superuser

(**)Sometimes there’s too many cooks in the kitchen. Sometimes there are too many storylines in a movie. Same difference.  Thirteen-year-old Kat Elliot (Lyric Ross, TV’s This is Us) lost her parents (Gabrielle Dennis, Gary Gatewood) in a tragic car accident when she was eight. She still blames herself for their deaths, wants them to come back […]

Family Life on View at the 2022 New York Film Festival

October 25, 2022 By: superuser

Families come in all sizes and shapes. Immediate, extended, separated and crazy too. These films, from the 60th annual New York Film Festival, showcased how loving, eccentric or dysfunctional familial relations can be. Aftersun (**1/2) Calum (Paul Mescal, Normal People), a divorced Scottish father living in England, reunites with his 11-year-old daughter Sophie (Francesca Corio). They meet up on a weekend trip at a Turkish resort they’ve frequented […]

Women at Work at the 2022 New York Film Festival

October 24, 2022 By: superuser

For 60 years, the New York Film Festival has programmed films from around the world that profile women’s issues. In 2022, the festival continued that tradition with movies that chronicled the female experience from centuries ago to modern times.  Corsage (**1/2) You can’t deny the sheer beauty of this very exquisitely crafted biopic. Nearly every frame in […]
