The FBI’s reputation takes a big blow in Richard Jewell, making Clint Eastwood’s movie about 1996 timely in 2019. Last week’s Justice Department IG report crushed any belief that the upper echelon of the FBI is the least bit trustworthy. That came years after the FBI didn’t pay attention "when …

Can You Ever Forgive Me? is not unforgivably bad, but is hardly a good movie either. The small stakes crimes of a literary criminal and her wages of sin trigger our morbid fascination with human train wrecks. Is that so bad? No, but it ain’t enough to be fulfilling. Ultimately just OK, Melis… |

Urban bored kids embrace the Mid90s skateboard culture. This story told through the primary experience of the youngest member of a 5-kid bunch highlights the good and the bad of growing up when life isn’t so rosy. Great film. |

Heady character studies aren’t usually my thing, but I didn’t want to miss seeing how Jason Segel and Jessie Eisenberg would do as co-stars. My guess was right, and it was a high quality pairing. The result is that the 1:45 running time flew by as I was immersed in the dynamic interaction. Reg… |

Art imitates reality in Straight Outta Compton. Actually it amplifies, glamorizes and ultimately twists reality. The art is Gangsta Rap, the reality African-American ghetto life, the artistic twists many. Twists aside, the movie is a semi-accurate chronicle of an important pop-culture movem…

Black Mass is the best movie of the year, the Irish-American Goodfellas and the best dramatic performance of Johnny Depp’s legendary career. Bold statements for sure, yet each can be substantiated.
