Till

October 14, 2022 By: superuser

(****)“Hardly a moment goes by when I don’t think about Emmett and the lessons a son can teach a mother.” Quoted from Mamie Till-Mobley. Emmett Till, a black teen, was murdered by racists in Money, Mississippi on April 28th in 1955.

They came from far and near. Diverse voices expressing thoughts and stories in noteworthy films. People coping, rebounding, laughing, unraveling mysteries and putting life into perspective were seen and heard at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. Bros (***) The first 30 minutes of this very contemporary and contemplative gay rom/com have got to be the funniest […]

Tyler Perry’s A Jazzman’s Blues Premieres at Toronto Film Festival 2022 

September 23, 2022 By: superuser

(***1/2) Writer/director Tyler Perry had never had a movie programed at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival. He said as much on the night of his latest film’s premiere. On stage he revealed that the script was written 27-years ago, and he was proud to have A Jazzman’s Blues open at TIFF. The audience seemed […]

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 […]
