Summer Movie Review: American Gospel
I watched the film “American Gospel” over the weekend. I would recommend the film but wouldn’t describe it as good or enjoyable. The film is sad and disappointing but it is informative and eye opening. “American Gospel” is worth the watch. “American Gospel” does a good job of presenting the gospel. Then it goes into […]

COURTESY SPOILER ALERT One of my rules for spoiler are that if a book or film is based on a historical event there is no spoiler. This is a courtesy spoiler alert if you don’t want your expectations of “Spencer” influenced by my opinion. “Spencer” is the 2021 film about Diana (Spencer), Princess of Wales. […]

Summer Movie Review: House of Gucci

I saw “West Side Story” with Natalie Wood many years ago on one of the cable classic movie channels and loved […]

Pandemic Summer: “The Heights”
I saw the musical The Heights last week. I enjoyed it. I think people that enjoy musicals will enjoy it but it’s not the greatest musical ever. Hamilton was better and I can name five musicals off the top of my head that are better than The Heights. It’s not great. It’s OK yet entertaining. […]

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood: My Review
I saw “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” the other day. I enjoyed it and I think you will as well. It’s not exactly what I was expecting but the surprise added to the success of the movie. I was expecting the movie to simply be a biography of Fred Rogers but that wasn’t quite […]
