I returned to work a week ago so this is my last Lockdown Review. I watched a documentary on the Kanopy app which was made available to me through my local library. “Drag Kids” is about children who dress up in drag and participate in shows and competitions. The children participate in drag the wayContinue reading “Lockdown Review: Drag Kids”

Lockdown Reviews: The Chambermaid
“The Chambermaid” is a Mexican film about a twenty four year old hotel maid who works in an upscale hotel Mexico City named Eve. It is in Spanish and I watched it with English subtitles. This movie doesn’t have a lot of action and it barely has a plot but nonetheless I enjoyed it. ThereContinue reading “Lockdown Reviews: The Chambermaid”
Terminator, Dark Fate: My Review
I watched Terminator Dark Fate yesterday and it was OK, just OK. I was a fan of the old Terminator films so I gave this film some grace for being a part of a franchise that I loved long ago. However, I don’t think it stands alone very well. Linda Hamilton and Arnold Swarzenegger wereContinue reading “Terminator, Dark Fate: My Review”
Harriet: My Review
I watched the film “Harriet” over the weekend. “Harriet” is a dramatized retelling of the life of American hero Harriet Tubman. There was a lot of buzz around this film and a lot of think pieces were written and vlogs were made about this movie. People really over thought this. It was a good movie,Continue reading “Harriet: My Review”
“Parasite”: My Review
I watched the film Parasite over the weekend. Parasite has received several awards including Oscars for best picture and best director. The film is highly enjoyable and I recommend that you take the time to watch it. It is a South Korean film with subtitles. I know that subtitles are a turn off for aContinue reading ““Parasite”: My Review”
Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez – My Review
I watched the three part documentary Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez which is about the late New England Patriots tight end and convicted murderer (well kind of) Aaron Hernandez. Aaron Hernandez is an interesting person to say the least. His story is almost Shakespearean. I remember Aaron Hernandez’s football career very well and I’veContinue reading “Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez – My Review”
Child’s Play 2019: A Short Review
I recently watched the 2019 remake of the 1988 film Child’s Play. I saw the original Child’s Play when I was a teenager. Just about everything from the 90s is corny so I didn’t have very high expectations for the film. I didn’t care for the new Child’s Play. The film was ridiculous then and it’sContinue reading “Child’s Play 2019: A Short Review”
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 quiteContinue reading “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood: My Review”
“Joker”: My Review
I saw “Joker” over the weekend. I enjoyed it and I would think you might too if you’ve enjoyed movies in the “Batman” series. I’ve seen all of the “Batman” movies in the theater shortly after their release since the first “Batman” film came out in 1989. The first film starred Jack Nicholson as theContinue reading ““Joker”: My Review”
Review: Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri
Over the weekend I watched the 2017 release Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri. It’s a very good film and Frances McDormand does great work in it. The only other movie I’ve seen Frances McDormand in is Fargo. The two films have a lot in common. Both films are centered around a mysterious crime inContinue reading “Review: Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri”
