Quickie Review: Free Guy
Free Guy is goofy, sincere and fun, probably even more so if you're into gaming. Personally, I didn't know an "NPC" from a "Player One," so it took me a…
Quickie Review: Annette
It's been a couple of weeks since I watched Annette and frankly I'm still processing. I'd love to be able to recommend it because it's got music! And Academy-Award nominee…
Review: The Suicide Squad
What a difference a ‘The’ makes?! I was not a fan of 2016’s Suicide Squad and had my doubts about watching another group of warped DC Comic Universe villains being…

Quickie Reviews: Glitch in the Matrix, Bliss
There is a lot of talk these days in the scientific world about the scary possibility that we are all living in a computer simulation and aren't actually real. I…
Review: The Map of Tiny Perfect Things
There’s certainly no shortage of movies featuring a time loop or “temporal anomaly.” There’s Groundhog Day, of course, as well as 12 Dates of Christmas, Before I Fall, Edge of…
