The Woman King Crowns the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival

September 16, 2022 By: superuser

(***1/2) The mighty women of the Agojie were warriors. From the 1600s to1800s in the West African Kingdom of Dahomey this all-female military regiment gallantly fought their empire’s enemies.  Film fans first glimpsed the Dahomey Amazon legacy in the Marvel movie Black Panther, where the Dora Milaje special forces in the fictional nation of Wakanda were modeled after those […]

Jose Feliciano: Behind This Guitar

September 11, 2022 By: superuser

(***) He came before them… Before Jimi Hendrix and Whitney Houston took creative license with “The Star-Spangled Banner” and before Marc Anthony and Bad Bunny sang salsa and reggaeton, José Monserrate Feliciano Garcia blazed a path. And now this nostalgic scrapbook of his life catalogues his trials and triumphs. Born blind in 1945, he lived […]

Beast

August 25, 2022 By: superuser

(***) If the job of an act/thr/hor is to scare the daylights out of you, Beast gets the job done.  The success of this film’s eye-catching, ear-grabbing hocus pocus can be traced back to smart direction, near seamless visual/sound effects, tight editing and the supremely talented Idris Elba.  “Cujo as a lion” was the goal. Screenwriter Ryan Engle (Rampage) set the stage, created […]

Day Shift

August 18, 2022 By: superuser

(**) He works hard for the money. Hunting, killing and extracting teeth from vampires for a living, in the hot San Fernando Valley, is no joke. Bud (Jamie Foxx) acts like he’s just an innocuous pool cleaner in SoCal. But on the downlow, he’s hunting bloodsuckers for cash. He just got kicked out of the international vampire hunters […]

Easter Sunday

August 15, 2022 By: superuser

(**1/2) He’s the talk of Netflix. Streaming audiences watch Filipino comedian Jo Koy bring the house down as he headlines shows in L.A., Hawaii and the Philippines. This edgy, urban comic loves his Asian culture and now he’s sharing that joy in movie theaters. In Easter Sunday, screenwriters Ken Cheng and Kate Angelo keep Koy in […]

Bullet Train

August 8, 2022 By: superuser

(***) “Fate will do what it wills,” says The Elder. But what happens when fate turns out to be a series of unpredictable and ultra-violent events aboard the world’s fastest train? The basis for this cutthroat railroad trip is a book by the very popular Japanese novelist Kôtarô Isaka. Hence the setting and situation. Ladybug (Brad Pitt) is an operative who’ll steal […]

Eat and Play Your Way Around the U.S. Virgin Islands

August 1, 2022 By: superuser

Welcome to St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John! Visit the United States Virgin Islands and your foodie experience will be as pleasurable as your playtime.  This tropical archipelago has three main and 50 smaller islands. It was originally inhabited by Native Americans—Ciboney, Caribs, and Arawaks. Spain, France, Britain, the Netherlands and Denmark once claimed VI and Africans came during the slave trade. In 1917, […]

DC League of Super-Pets

July 31, 2022 By: superuser

(***1/2) Somebody really put their paw in this.  Humans are credited for writing and directing this fun-filled ani//act/adv, but don’t be surprised if a four-legged friend ghostwrote and directed the whole thing. The dialogue, jokes and storyline are so pet friendly and perceptive it seems that way. Krypto the Super-dog (voice of Dwayne “The Rock” […]

Nope

July 25, 2022 By: superuser

(**1/2) It came from outer space. Or somewhere.  Something’s hovering over Otis Haywood’s (Keith David, Barbershop) ranch in SoCal’s parched Santa Clarita Valley. Otis comes from a long line of horsemen and is a noted animal wrangler for TV and film. His son OJ (David Kaluuya, Get Out) works beside him and his stallions. That thing in […]
