Last fall, Disney unleashed their sci-fi family animated adventure Strange World upon theaters. Unfortunately this one was a whiff for them at the box off. Coupled with Lightyear, it was not a financially sound year at the box office for their animated science fiction fantasies. Nonetheless, it became their Christmas Day Disney+ movie release and […]
In The Public an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the film takes place. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, some homeless patrons turn the building into a shelter for the […]
The Birth of a Nation came and went last year. Following its breakout at the Sundance Film Festival, the proceeding months were not kind to writer/director/producer/star Nate Parker, based on a muddy history that was brought back into the news. Still, there is a righteous part of me that sees a film recounting a historical […]
The Birth of a Nation is a film designed to challenge various parts of me.

The other part concerns my role […]

I have not seen those two but was really anxious to see his latest film Top Five. The buzz surrounding Top Five was favorable and the trailers and promotional materials were pretty funny, so it […]
Infused with Chris Rock’s razor-sharp comedic edge, the “dazzlingly, uproariously funny” (Sam Lansky, Time) TOP FIVE debuts on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and VOD March 17, 2015 from Paramount Home Media Distribution. The film arrives two weeks early on Digital HD March 3. Hailed by critics as “authentically hilarious” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) and “fast and blisteringly funny” (Manohla Dargis, New […]
I am a fan of seeing live standup comedy. Something I have observed in that setting is what people can get away with. Something about the standup environment allows comedians and audiences (within reason) to joke and laugh about things they would otherwise consider too much of a taboo. With Top Five, Chris Rock has […]
