Details: Category: New Series and Movie Reviews; Published: Tuesday, 29 December 2020 14:36; Written by Lupe R Haas

Nomadland Frances McDormand Chloe Zhao

Chloe Zhao delivers one of the most striking films of 2020 with NOMADLAND starring Frances McDormand in another award-winning turn. NOMADLAND is a devastating look at one woman's life as a nomad living out of her van traveling from seasonal job to another to make ends meet. While McDormand's character is fictional, it's a tragedy told through McDormand's adventure while bringing to light real-life nomad's personal stories.

'Tenet' Review: Why You Need A Captive Audience To Watch Christopher Nolan's Film

Details: Category: New Series and Movie Reviews; Published: Tuesday, 29 December 2020 18:22; Written by Lupe R Haas

Tenet Movie Robert Pattinson John David Washington Review

TENET finally arrives for home release after only screening in limited movie theaters since September. Nolan insisted on the theatrical release to support exhibitors as they experience a massive decline in business because of the pandemic. Many like myself didn't dare attend an enclosed space for over two hours. After finally watching the mind-bending film at home, I realized Nolan is right that this film required a theatrical viewing with a captive audience to follow the convoluted storyline. At home, the constant distractions and need to rewind scenes made it a difficult watch.

One Night in Miami review

Regina King takes to the director's chair for her second feature film with ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI starring famous figures from the 60s - Muhammad Ali, football player Jim Brown, Malcolm X, and the King of Soul Sam Cooke. With a script from Kemp Powers and based on his stage play, King delivers a powerful and compelling movie that delivers on all fronts including the ongoing conversation about social injustices and the role of the black man.

Review: Wonder Woman 1984 - Escapism Meets Reality Check

Wonder Woman 1984 Review 2

Is WONDER WOMAN 1984 a worthy follow-up? Gal Gadot and Chris Pine return in WONDER WOMAN 1984 with Patty Jenkins once again at the helm. Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig join the cast as the villains. The sequel may not have the same impact as the first film but the DC superhero still represents something special.

Review: Steven Soderbergh's 'Let Them All Talk' Does Just That

Details: Category: New Series and Movie Reviews; Published: Wednesday, 09 December 2020 13:50; Written by Lupe R Haas

Let Them All Talk Meryl Streep Lucas Hedges

LET THEM ALL TALK features a phenomenal cast with Meryl Streep, Lucas Hedges, Dianne Wiest, Candice Bergen and Gemma Chan starring. Steven Soderbergh's latest flick for HBO MAX is a lot of talk and little action. The characters talk circles around each other with no progression in the story. It's a missed opportunity to see Streep, Wiest and Bergen exude girl power. Instead we get an awkward and tepid relationship that's uncomfortable to watch which might be Soderbergh's intent in his latest experimental project.

Review: 'LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special'

Details: Category: New Series and Movie Reviews; Published: Monday, 16 November 2020 03:00; Written by Lupe R Haas

All of our favorite characters from the STAR WARS universe unite in “The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special” airing on Disney+ starting Tuesday, November 17. The first few minutes are a bore, but once Rey starts her journey to revisit past Jedi master and apprentice relationships, the holiday special becomes a blast. It's definitely better than the 1978 special for those who remember that cheesy tv event. Watch video review.
