Top Gun Maverick: High-Flying Sequel A Worthy Return To The Danger Zone

June 3, 2022 by Kevin

5 out of 5 stars (a classic) Hollywood loves making sequels.  Whether the original film is 2 years old or 52, if there’s love and nostalgia for it, a studio will greenlight a follow-up.  Top Gun Maverick is that exceedingly rare sequel that comes to us decades after the original that’s actually great, building upon… Continue Reading

3 out of 5 stars (average) Take Me to the River New Orleans is going to be the Avengers: Endgame for jazz fans.  Over the course of its runtime, we get candid, informative interviews with many of the great jazz legends who have helped make the genre what it is and see recording sessions where… Continue Reading

March 17, 2022 by Kevin

3.5 out of 5 stars (above average) Much like an awkward teenager, Pixar’s latest outing Turning Red makes an odd first impression, but if you give it time, you’ll see the good it has to offer.  It’s a film about embracing all parts of yourself with a nifty fantasy element thrown in.  The characters are… Continue Reading

The Batman: Epic Crime Thriller is Dark, Violent, and Surprisingly Campy

March 7, 2022 by Kevin

5 out of 5 stars (One of the Best I’ve Seen in a Long Time) The Batman is one of the best superhero movies I’ve ever seen.  It’s a dark, gritty, yet surprisingly campy crime epic that knows how to balance its mature themes with blockbuster spectacle and a refreshingly layered story all anchored by… Continue Reading
