Review: "8-Bit Christmas"
With Thanksgiving in our rearview mirrors now, it is inevitable to see Christmas movies on our televisions as it is the season to be jolly. On Thanksgiving Day, this film was available to stream to anyone with a subscription to HBO Max. Anyone that watches it will surely be hit with just as much nostalgia as product placement. However, it is a heartwarming tale that many once had a Nintendo console or memories of wanting a video game console so bad will surely enjoy. 8-Bit Christmas sticks to the old tropes of most Christmas movies for better or for worse throughout the film and at its core, it is really difficult to have a hard time enjoying Christmas movies on some level.

Movie Review: 'House of Gucci' True Crime Story or Parody of Excess? You Decide
House of Gucci is a true crime story about the death of Gucci scion, Maurizio Gucci, played by Adam Driver. As a true crime story it’s not bad, as a serious drama about real people in a real life tragedy, House of Gucci is rather disastrous. Unable to distinguish whether he is making a real life crime drama or a campy satire of wealth and privilege, director Ridley Scott has made a strange and off-putting movie that is consistently at odds with itself, it’s intentions, and it’s actors who swing wildly from parody to serious intent.

Review: "King Richard". Top Story - November 2021.
Many sport films follow a simple formula that all too well feature a heartwarming underdog story and at its heart that is exactly what King Richard is. On top of that, it also seems a bit of an "Oscar-bait" type of film as it features arguably one of the best performances of Will Smith's long career. The film tells the story of the man behind two of the greatest tennis players to ever grace the sport, their father, and his pursuit of stardom for them both. During Venus and Serena Williams ascension to stardom, something that constantly made headlines at the time was how controversial their father was. You'd assume this film at its core would be about the two sisters but instead, it shines the light on the father to paint him in a better picture than the media ever did. In the process, it instills in the audience that it is always important to keep sight of what truly matters, the ones you love and protecting them.

RED NOTICE
On paper, Red Notice peruses like an easy decision swarm pleaser. Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) coordinates the trifecta of appealing entertainers Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot in a smooth, activity experience frolic. Its got all that you really want for the notorious great soup of moviemaking, yet lamentably, Red Notice simply takes successions from much better movies and mushes them all together into some terrible goulash.

Movie Review: 'The Shuroo Process' Can't Decide What Movie to Be
The Shuroo Process cannot decide what kind of movie it wants to be. The film stars Fiona Dourif as Parker Schaefer, an infamously fearless magazine writer who has finally gone off the rails. As we join the story, Parker has returned from what we can fairly assume was a binge. Parker is a fast talking mess and it doesn’t take long for her husband, who we only meet this one time, to clock her as drunk and high. He’s leaving, as we can see he’s all packed, and he’s taking the kids that are implied but never seen.

Movie Review: 'Drive My Car' is One of the Best Movies of 2021
A three hour movie can be intimidating, even for a professional film critic, such as myself. A three hour long movie has to be very, very good to justify that length, especially if you are not watching it in a movie theater where you have fewer potential distractions. That makes the movie Drive My Car, from director Ryusuke Hamaguchi, all the more impressive. Drive My Car is a three hour movie about art, infidelity and personal trauma. It’s not flashy or bombastic, it’s deeply human and warm. These aren’t qualities one assumes of a three hour movie.

Movie Review: 'King Richard' A Strong Showcase for Will Smith and Little Else
King Richard stars Will Smith as Richard Williams, the controversial father of tennis icons, Venus and Serena Williams. The story of King Richard tracks Richard Williams’ deep seated dedication to make his daughters succeed in the world of tennis. As the story goes, Richard was watching tennis on television and saw a player pick up a $40,000 purse. This set off alarm bells in Richard’s mind. If someone could make that much from this sport dominated by white people, how well might a pair of incredibly talented black women do in this sport?
