Intermission: Whatever happened to the cinema??
There’s no escaping since the impacts of CoVid have been felt on a global scale. It has filtered down into and impacted almost every aspect of life that we take (or should that be took) for granted prior to this global pandemic. It’s had real significant impact on peoples personal lives, and sadly many people have now been affected, or lost loved ones to the virus. It is hard to imagine prior to this pandemic, something like a virus outbreak (which has happened several times over the years) could change the way the world operates, and the gears of global economy to grind to a halt almost overnight – but it has. Our lives have changed, and there is no doubt this will have lasting impacts for the foreseeable future. Where it has hit us most, is in the social aspect, and the things we do for fun to unwind after the long working week. One of which, along with pubs and restaurants, has been cinema.

Top 5 Lifetime Movie Actresses Who Need to Play a Villainess (At Least Once)
I've been a fan of Lifetime movies for at least 20 years, especially due the immense amount of villainesses featured. I also love that the same group of actors and actresses are featured in Lifetime's films, and regarding the actresses, some have done more Lifetime films than others and are very well known to fans of those films. Notable Lifetime film actresses include (but aren't limited to) Ashlynn Yennie, Grace Patterson, Crystal Allen, Cindy Busby, Lindsay Hartley, and Christina Cox, just to name a few.

Paw Patrol: The Movie
I was recently able to sit down with my 6 year old, and watch a movie he was waiting impatiently to be released. He was just about excited as I am for anything Marvel/Star Wars/Disney. Just what is his movie of choice, you ask? Well, it is a heart warming tale about a young boy and his team of six very helpful pups. In case you’re not a parent or have been under quarantine too long. You may have seen that lovable nickelodeon show about Ryder, Chase, Marshal, Rubble, Rocky, and of course Sky made their debut unto the big screen… or the small screen if you’re still scared to go out in public. “Paw Patrol: The Movie” was released on Friday, August 20th and is available to watch in certain theatres, or if you prefer the creature comforts of your home couch. It is also available to anyone who subscribes to Paramount+. As a parent who actually enjoys watching these kinds of movies with any of my kids. Or without them…shhh… I enjoyed this one so much I felt like taking a break from my fiction writing and offer up my first movie review. Another words… be gentle I am no Siskel or Ebert.

Movie Review: 'Reminiscence' starring Hugh Jackman
I’m tempted to pat the new movie Reminiscence on its metaphorical head and condescendingly talk about how I appreciate the attempt it makes at being about something more than a Hollywood thriller plot and some mainstream notion of noir. Okay, so that’s what I just did and I kind of hate myself. At the same time, I do appreciate the intentions of Reminiscence. The film calls upon the tragedy of Orpheus and Euripides, and the ongoing tragedy of climate change, in a vain attempt to give an overly familiar macho action movie something to stand for.

Movie Review: 'Sweet Girl' Starring Jason Momoa. Top Story - August 2021.
Sweet Girl doesn’t fail due to lack of commitment. Leads Jason Momoa and Isabela Merced each appear deeply committed to their roles. The unfortunate failure of Sweet Girl comes because what these wonderful performers committed to was far too silly to warrant their commitment. Sweet Girl turns on a twist so clumsily executed and poorly thought out that it renders any goodwill the movie might get from the performances moot.

Classic Movie Review: 'Klute' Starring Jane Fonda
Klute is the classic on the latest edition of the Everyone’s a Critic Movie Review Podcast. The film was chosen because the new movie Reminiscence appears to be about a private detective and Klute centers on an investigation by a would-be private eye played by Donald Sutherland. More than any of that however, I’ve always wanted an excuse to watch Klute and this was a flimsy enough excuse to do so. I was rewarded for my effort as Klute was a truly rewarding experience.

My Review of "Back to the Future"
Back to the Future is pretty much a classic for me. I've seen this movie so many times at different stages of my life. When I was a youngster it blew my mind because it was pure imagination come to life. As a young adult it was a fun ride down memory lane. As an older adult I don't wasn't too sure how I would take this movie as I've seen it so many times. I was actually pretty worried that I've seen it too many times.

The Most Powerful Scene in Movie History
I love 'Taxi Driver' and watch it at least once a year. One of the greatest character studies in history. Between Paul Schrader's reality-steeped script, Martin Scorsese's haunting direction and Robert de Niro's engrossing performance, never has there been a truer depiction of a troubled mind, an unstable man, and the bleak nature of urban loneliness.

Movie Review: 'Annette' Starring Adam Driver
Annette is a masterwork. Director Leos Carax takes the audience into his hands and takes us on a fantastical journey, a strange and magnificent journey of sight and sound. The beauty of music and the beast of hubristic ego slammed together in a story of movies, music, romance, sex, and all that such things entail. Starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard, with music from the duo known as Sparks, Annette is a towering, forceful hurricane of image and emotion.
