Movie Review: Smile 2
4 stars out of 5 I was slightly skeptical about this sequel, knowing Sosie Bacon could not reprise her lead role. But noticing that writer/director Parker Finn was back, and having enjoyed the first installment so much, I didn’t stay away long from Smile 2. Plus it’s spooky movie season! Plot, you want to hear […]

Movie Review: Tom Petty — Heartbreakers Beach Party
4 stars out of 5If you’re really feeling Petty, take a deep dive into Peter Bogdanovich’s 4-hour, 19-min documentary from 2007, Runnin’ Down a Dream.

Movie Review: Megalopolis
4 stars out of 5 It’s not too often that an 85-year-old throws me off my game. But when the octogenarian in question is Francis Ford Coppola, perhaps I shouldn’t be too surprised. He has perhaps the greatest résumé of any filmmaker, living or otherwise: The Godfather, Godfather II, Apocalypse Now, The Conversation, and not […]
