What would happen if the no-you-can’t mentality that created the dancing kids back in the days of <em>Footloose</em> took place in a society where social media could spread the word of cloak to a group of repressed-by-the-machine players in the big world? Hold onto your degrees of separation and get ready to pop up from…
Blake Lively sure can do tense and dark. I pulled <em> The Rhythm Section</em> off the DVD shelf at my Liverpool Public Library work place entirely based on Lively’s appearance on the cover. I had much appreciated her work in 2018’s <em>A Simple Favor</em>, a plot-twister where her character befriends the fellow mom played by…
If you grew up in a certain generation in America, the work of John Belushi most certainly entered your life wave after comic wave. The guy with the arching eyebrows came to my TV screen on with the cast of <em>Saturday Night Live</em> on the cusp of my college days, so I was very much…
Imagine if you will, a small mayoral race in the town of Deerlaken, Wisc., becoming so important to the Democrats trying to win with a crusty veteran and the Republicans attempting to hold the town with the folksy incumbent that it not only draws two campaign managers fresh off the 2016 presidential race but the…
Life certainly is not easy for Daphne as we meet the centerpiece of the story in drama <em>Endings, Beginnings</em> Job, left. Romance, broken off. Living arrangements? How about a move into her sister’s pool house? And so we find Shailene Woodley suitably miserable in much of this winding tale directed by Drake Doremus from his…
Women’s Lib was just getting started its feet on the ground in London when the Miss World beauty pageant came knocking on its theater doors with Bob Hope as the MC and an international TV audience on his coattails. The women who would walk on stage to show off their talents and more in 1970…
Sure, Mia and Mel have their quibble and insecurities, but they can always count on each other. Right? Right?? Right??? Yes, yes, and then comes marching in the promise of riches and big-time industry recognition in the name of a buyout from Claire Luna and her mega-company. Mel wants it. Mia doesn’t it. Claire Luna…
There’s no way to dance around the underlying theme. <em>Faith, Hope & Love</em> is a faith-based movie. In the worlds of Faith and Jimmy, circumstances have fallen a bit on the dark side. Jimmy and his marvelous daughter are still fighting through the death of his wife and her mother. He’s trying so hard to…
It’s certainly no surprise to see Melissa McCarthy wrestle every last ounce of oomph out of a role. The star might raise an eyebrow or two, though, with her crime-drama turn in The Kitchen. Written and directed by Andrea Berloff from the pages of a DC Vertigo comic book series, this 1-hour, 42-minute action piece…
Searching for a newly released movie that might connect becomes more challenging as we continue through these seasons of living with the virus. I know, way down the list. <em>Bad Therapy</em> popped up on the free digital service I receive through my library card. The poster features a face from a favorite movie past and…
