Movie Review: 'Triple Threat'
The new millennial musical, Triple Threat is debuting at Cinequest and is likely to delight those that give it a chance and don’t stop at the words ‘millennial musical.’ The much maligned millennial generation is now of an age of introspection and they are beginning to examine their lives as Gen-X’ers like myself did and the baby boomers before me. And it will happen to you someday to Zoomer, when you start feeling nostalgic and introspective.

TV Review: 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Episode 1'
What is the first image we see in the first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier? Is it Sam Wilson heroically wielding the shield gifted to him by Captain America at the end of Avengers: Endgame? Is it the awesome sight of The Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes, crushing some baddie with the super strength in his bionic arm? Perhaps it is Sam gliding through the air with his Falcon wings??? Nope, ironing. Literally, it’s Falcon ironing a shirt.

Movie Review: 'Justice League: The Snyder Cut'
Joss Whedon and Warner Brothers really screwed up. There are no two ways about it, trying to turn the D.C Universe into a snarky, bro-ey comedy universe was a bad idea. As much as it pains me to admit it, treating the D.C Cinematic-Comic Book Universe with seriousness and dignity is the right approach. Yes, it’s a silly comic book movie but it works best when you are able to, in a way, treat with respect.

Movie Review: 'Food Club'
Food Club is a movie about desire, specifically the ways in which desire never goes away. Regardless of age and experience, desire always remains and the balancing act of having desire versus how realistic such a desire is, is not a math problem anyone wants to have. For instance, an elderly person has a desire to sleep with an attractive and much younger person. Some factor might make that possible but it’s unlikely and the reality of that notion can weigh on a person.

The History of Play-Doh is the History of American Capitalism . Top Story - March 2021.
I have a fascination with the history of products and companies. I find that you can learn a lot about American history and the history of capitalism by collecting random facts about ancient products that have thrived for decades. One such product is Play-Doh, the children’s colorful clay product that nearly every child in America has fashioned into various shapes for decades. Where did Play-Doh come from? I happen to know the answer for some reason.

Movie Review: 'The Courier'
Every year we get further from World War 2. and the Cold War that followed it, new stories of bravery emerge and are more amazing than the last. The latest in this line of long unsung heroes is a man named Greville Wynne. In the early 1960’s, Greville Wynne was your average, British suburban dad. He was a salesman with a good patter and just enough charisma to make a good living.

Movie Review: 'Ludi'
Recently, a clueless, out of touch politician, whose name I will not mention, said that if the American people were to be given $1400.00 stimulus checks, they might not go to work. Apparently this deeply delusional lifetime politician thinks we still live in the early 1950’s when you could get a jar of milk and a loaf of bread for 15 cents and feed your family for a week. Today, $1400.00 might give a person a little break in the rent and a dent in your monthly bills, and that’s for people who are already on the lower end of the economic ladder.

Movie Review: 'Sin La Habana'
Sin La Habana, or Without Havana, for those who need a translation, is a challenging story about immigration, desperation and sex as a marketplace. The protagonist of Sin La Habana is a male ballet dancer who doesn’t fit your Hollywood stereotype of men in ballet. He’s a Cuban man with a beautiful girlfriend, a hot temper and ego to spare. It’s that ego that will be challenged throughout as the story of Sin La Habana unfolds.

Movie Review: 'Coming 2 America'
Will we as a collective culture ever tire of having our nostalgia reheated like leftovers and served to us on a silver platter? Whether it is the return of Bill and Ted or another miserable Terminator rehash, Hollywood is continually rewarded for serving us warmed up nostalgia as if it were a gourmet meal with the media and the adoring public watching every reiteration, so I get why they do it. The question is for you, dear reader, why do you keep treating bowls of pre-packaged microwave goo like it is filet mignon from the finest restaurant?

Movie Review: 'Kid 90'
There is a temptation to write off the new to Hulu documentary Kid 90 as a navel gazing bit of personal nostalgia on the part of director and subject Soleil Moon Frye. The former Punky Brewster star, or rather current Punky Brewster revival star, now that I think of it, assembled Kid 90 from her own video and diary collection. As a teenager in Hollywood in the early 90’s, Frye carried her camera everywhere and captured her life in great detail.

Movie Review: 'Moxie'
Girl power narratives are becoming more frequent in modern popular culture and I am here for it. It’s great to see the long held trope of ‘boys will be boys’ repeatedly upended by smarter, more capable and more interesting female characters. Now that you’ve cursed me for supposed virtue signaling, and we’ve weeded out those who’ve come here hoping to read a review repeatedly dunking on Moxie, we can actually talk about Moxie.
