That’s it? I spent eight episodes hoping that Dave Filoni would figure out a way to make me care about the characters in AHSOKA, and as a non-REBEL/CLONE WARS watcher, he failed. So, if I’m not a fan of the series, why do I keep giving it semi-positive reviews? The spectacle of the space sequences, lightsaber battles, and even the fantastic score kept me coming back for more. No, really, this is an extremely well-produced TV series. It has it…

Continue ReadingPREMISE A flashback episode to 2020 shows that unexpected connections emerge while the world is lockdown. EPISODE CO-MVP’s KAREN PITTMAN AND BILLY CRUDUP I wouldn’t say this is a show that wastes its supporting characters to supplement storylines involving Bradley or Alex. Still, in my opinion, there is a lot of depth being presented within these supporting characters that usually don’t get a chance to be elaborated upon (especially Chip). Mia Jordan and Corey Ellison are two characters presented as…

E1-2 🤩 ““All’s the world a stage,” especially when audiences are treated to a third season of ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING.

Continue ReadingI fell in love with the court scenes and the performances in ANATOMY OF A FALL, but not much else. Look, this is a very French film. It’s two hours and thirty minutes, has a minimalistic score, is mostly all dialogue, and deals with a mystery that’s less about death and more about how it can destroy a family. If that sounds like your type of movie, you are in for a scorching nightcap. If not, you will likely fall…

Continue ReadingTHE BIKERIDERS is the latest from director Jeff Nichols. His work continues to perplex me. With MUD, MIDNIGHT SPECIAL, LOVING, and now THE BIKERIDERS, Nichols makes films that look beautiful, have wonderful acting, and at times, are captivating. Yet, for the most part, his work tends to be slow-moving and extremely character-driven. This makes sense since he stated in a Q&A for the screening of THE BIKERIDERS, “plot is overrated.” If the “plot is overrated,” then your movie at least…
