There’s a chance you read the novel “The Woman in the Window” when it was published in 2018. Over the past few years you may have also read that there was a film adaptation in the works. In July of ’18, four months after winning the Best Actor Oscar for “Darkest Hour”, Gary Oldman re-teamed […]
When “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” premiered on ABC in September 2013, I thought, “This show is gonna be HUGE! Marvel fans are gonna obsess over this. There will be movie star cameos all the time. People will go crazy over it!” And, out of the gate, “S.H.I.E.L.D.” lived-up to those expectations. It delivered more than […]
Here we go again: “Synchronic” is yet another 2020 time travel movie. Unfortunately, it’s not a good one. Directors Justin Benson (who also penned it) and Aaron Moorhead needed a “Total Rewrite”.

At just under two and a half hours, “Captain America: Civil War” is longer than any of the previous 12 films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And that should come as no surprise considering the gigantic cast of characters that have been brought together. And it’s this star-power, not the action or the story, that […]
In a season filled with blockbusters and awards hopefuls, “Love the Coopers” deserves a very special recognition: This all-star comedy takes elements from every “dysfunctional family coming together for the holidays” movie ever made, combining them into one, large fruitcake…that’s as hard as a rock. If you’re expecting some holiday cheer from this star-studded effort, […]
