'The City of Lost Children'-- The Forgotten Classic.
"The City of Lost Children" has been recognized, the world over, as one of the greatest films ever made. Not that year, or that decade, or that genre, it's literally one of the greatest EVER. The movie was an expensive, high-tech French production, using more special effects than any other French film in history. It also happened to be a huge flop, at the time, for the studio. With the film only making only 1.7 million dollars compared to its 18 million dollar budget. But... It has since become a bonafide cult classic among some of the best. It's truly a huge surprise to know that many Americans have never even heard of or even seen it.

Questions for the Kin movie (2018)
James Franco, Zoë Kravitz, Dennis Quaid, Carrie Coon, Jack Reynor, and Michael B. Jordan are some of the actors in this movie. I recently watched Kin (available on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video) but I often found myself perplexed when watching. The movie emphasizes the concept of family, bonds and the potential greatness of individuals.

Classic Movie Review: 'Fast Five' is Sooo Dumb but Sooo Fun
Boy, Fast Five is a dumb movie. Truly, Fast Five is remarkably, unabashedly ludicrous. The dunderheaded stupidity of Fast Five is both a virtue and a curse as it frees the filmmakers from the boundaries of logic, of rationality, of taste; it's dumb to a point where you sympathize with the idiocy as you would sympathize with that one kid in a grade school for whom 2 + 2 is a monumental challenge. On the other hand, Fast Five is so dumb at times it's physically painful to watch. But it's also so much fun that it is downright irresistible.

Movie Review: 'Rollers' is a Warm and Inviting Dramatic Comedy
Rollers is the rare movie about an alcoholic character that portrays the often mundane nature of alcoholism. People tend to focus on the rock bottom aspects of alcoholism but rarely is there a story told about someone in the midst of their problems, before everything falls apart, before alcoholism becomes something that ruins a life. Much of the life of an alcoholic can be a rollercoaster ride for family and friends but often alcoholism isn’t something you recognize right away, it’s a series of seemingly unconnected nights of drinking that only begin to add up over a long period of time.

Movie Review: 'Lansky' Wastes a Career Performance from Harvey Keitel
Lansky uses a framing device of a made up character in order to tell the supposed real life story of gangster Meyer Lansky, as portrayed by Harvey Keitel. Lansky was written and directed by Eytan Rockaway who based the film on interviews conducted by his own father, Robert Rockaway, a History professor at Tel-Aviv University who specialized in researching the history of American Organized Crime. The elder Rockaway wrote a book called ‘But He Was Good to His Mother: The Lives and Crimes of Jewish Gangsters” in which his interviews with Lansky were a key part.

A random three-peat of X-Men movies
22JUN2021; 2305, TUE Well, it's Taco TUE again as well as another Buddy Check 22nd; for the 22 Vets a day that couldn't live with their invisible scars anymore. On a spur of the moment tip, I decided to have another movie marathon, while waiting on the VA (or Dept of Veterans Affairs) to finally call me back about a new therapist.

The problem with Disney...
I love Disney. For as long as I can remember, it has dominated my life. From watching movies as a kid and then later, falling in love with the Disney parks — reigniting my passion. I honestly sometimes think they just can't do any wrong.
