It’s only been about 4 months since I first wrote this list but in that time there have been some changes. Some movies postponed, some movies added, some movies rescheduled. Last month (April) there were […]

review – the killer
In 1995, there was a movie named “Seven” (aka “Se7en”) that was directed by David Fincher and written by Andrew Kevin Walker. Some people consider it David Fincher’s best movie – including me. I would […]
review – albert brooks: defending my life
Recently, I was looking for showtimes for another movie when I discovered that the documentary “Albert Brooks: Defending My Life” was screening at the AFI Film Fest in Hollywood. I am a big fan of […]
review – killers of the flower moon
About 15 years ago, there was a fairly good award-winning TV series on HBO named “Boardwalk Empire”. The series was produced by Martin Scorsese and he directed the pilot episode. As I was watching the […]
review – the flash
I don’t know what movie or TV show was the first to show time travel, but I do know the most popular movie. If you ask most people to name a time travel movie or […]
review – the machine
It seems like a lot of people that are famous for other things would also like to be actors. Singers like Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, and Taylor Swift, athletes like Lebron James, Ronda Rousey, and […]
review – guardians of the galaxy vol. 3
I’m a pretty big comic book fan. I go to my local comic book store almost every week to get the new issues of the series that I’m reading. I prefer the standalone comic book […]
review – air
I always recommend that you see a movie in a movie theater on a big screen. In the past, I have gone out of my way to see a movie when it was playing at […]
review – a good person
According to what I’ve read, writer/director Zach Braff made this movie for his girlfriend (at the time) Florence Pugh. History has shown that doing that is often a bad idea. One reason is because if […]
review – she is love
At the end of last year, it was hard to find the movie “Causeway” in a movie theater because the movie was only playing on one screen at one location in the Los Angeles area. […]
review – babylon
Before I saw this movie, there were already two things I liked about it. First, I’m a big fan of movies set in Los Angeles, and second, I’m a big fan of movies about the […]
review – glass onion
For most good mystery movies, I will usually watch the movie twice. The first time for the mystery and the second time for the movie. There have been good mysteries in a not so good […]
review – empire of light
Usually when you have an award-winning director, award-winning actors, and an award-winning cinematographer, you’ll get a great movie. I say “usually” because nothing is a sure thing. Award winning director Sam Mendes, award-winning actors Leonardo […]
review – the fablemans
I’m not a fan of biographical movies because a lot of the time the person that the movie is about is involved – or their family is involved if the person has passed away – […]
Review – Tár
The first thing that I should mention is I have almost no interest in orchestras or classical music. Unless it’s a movie score or a classical piece in a movie (like “Ode to Joy” from […]
Review – Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
Possibly the weirdest thing about this movie is that anyone can watch it for free. The movie currently isn’t playing in any movie theaters in the Los Angeles area (although it could be playing in […]
Review – Causeway
Some people say, “I can never go home again”. Other people say, “I never want to go home again”. In this movie, Lynsey (Jennifer Lawrence) feels a little of both. She doesn’t want to go […]
Review – Amsterdam
The movie starts with the line “a lot of this actually happened” but the more I watch of this part murder mystery, party comedy, part political drama the more I think that this scene….and this […]
review – See How They Run
Famous mystery writer Agatha Christie wrote a murder mystery play called “The Mousetrap” which opened in London’s West End in 1952 and is STILL PLAYING IN THE SAME THEATER TODAY. It holds the world record […]
Review – Confess, Fletch
Movie studios are always looking to create movies and TV series from bestselling books. Characters like Hercule Poirot (from Agatha Christie mysteries), Jack Reacher (from the books by Lee Child), Jack Ryan (from the books by Tom Clancy), […]
Steve Martin Film Festival
Since the 2nd season of “Only Murders in the Building” is now done and since I’ve read a few stories that say Steve Martin is considering retiring after the TV series is finished, I decided to […]
Review – Bullet Train
First, send 5 assassins – “Ladybug” (Brad Pitt), “Tangerine” (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), “Lemon” (Brian Tyree Henry), “Wolf” (Benito A Martinez Ocasio aka Bad Bunny), and “The Hornet” (Zazie Beetz) – to a high-speed train to retrieve […]
review – the magnificent seven
The Magnificent Seven is a remake of the classic 1960 film of the same name. Based on a 1954 story by Akira Kurosawa, writers Nic Pizzolatto and Richard Wenk provided enough fresh changes, characters and plot […]
review – blair witch
Blair Witch is a scarily fun sequel to the 1999 Blair Witch Project about young James Donahue and several of his friends, Lisa, Peter, and Ashley, who go trekking into Maryland’s Black Hills Forest together. […]
review – sully
Sully is a dramatic recreation of the 2009 “Miracle on the Hudson,” which found Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger at the command of US Airways Flight 1549, after it struck a flock of geese and began […]
