(***) You know you’re brave? You know you’re brave when you go into Gaza in 2025, in the middle of a war with mass casualties, and try to save lives. That was the calling of three American doctors of different ethnic backgrounds who were willing to risk their safety to bring care to those in […]
My Father’s Shadow
(****) “May the four colors of the earth bless me. I will see you in my dreams.” Writer/director Akinola Davies has a way with words that’s poetic. He has a great feel for sensitive and compelling storytelling, which pervades all that’s delicately drawn in this father/son allegory. Two young brothers, Remi (Chibuike Marvelous Egbo) the […]
Crime 101
(***) “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?

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 […]
