Movie Review: Hold Me Tight
4 stars out of 5 I will readily admit: I walked out of the theater thinking, “That was a good movie, even though I’m not totally sure what happened.” Now, a day later, I think I have a better grasp on it, or at least want to watch the movie again when it comes to […]

Movie Review: See How They Run
3 stars out of 5I had 2 hours to kill and it had just started raining; this is perhaps the perfect movie for that scenario. What we have here is a comedic whodunnit in the not-so-grand tradition of Murder by Death and Knives Out. We’re in London, where Adrien Brody is intent on turning the […]
Movie Review: Moonage Daydream
4.5 stars out of 5The world didn’t necessarily need another David Bowie documentary. I mean, I’m a big fan, not a superfan or anything, and I’d already seen two different Bowie docs in the past several years. But director Brett Morgen, with full access to the Thin White Duke’s archives, delivers something very different, very […]
Movie Review: Barbarian
4 stars out of 5On September 10, 2001, my buddy Terry and I went to see the pretty decent horror flick Jeepers Creepers which starred Justin Long. (He’ll always be Ed’s Warren Cheswick to me.) A couple of things have happened personally and globally since back then, yet on September 13, 2021, I found myself […]

Movie Review: Funny Pages
4 stars out of 5You have to hand it to Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates — they’ve churned out a couple of super-talented kids. Greta Kline has been a fave of mine for a while, via her band Frankie Cosmos. And now Owen Kline has written and directed a self-assured feature debut which is by […]
