Classic Movie Review: '2001 A Space Odyssey'
I have no excuse to write a full length review of 2001 A Space Odyssey in 2021. It's not celebrating an Anniversary, it's not new to 4K or the Criterion Collection. I have nothing remotely to tie this movie to other than my desire to sit and experience it again on my 50+ inch flat screen television, the one great indulgence of my life, more expensive than my car. (That's only a slight exaggeration.)

Review of 'Reminiscence'
So here we are again. Critics are giving Reminiscence (on HBO Max) mixed reviews, saying it's derivative. I agree that it's derivative, but think it's excellent. In general, I think being derivative is not a bad thing, and I disagree with the myopic critics who miss how well Reminiscence does it.

Movie Review: Settlers
Settlers is a remarkably dull movie. Written and directed by Wyatt Rockefeller, Settlers doesn’t look bad and is not poorly acted. Rather, Settlers fails because there isn’t much of a story going on. The film centers on an innocent young girl on a remote planet with her parents. The story is about how she grew up in this bizarre isolation and how the experience shapes her. Echoes of what it has been like to be a kid during the pandemic and shelter at home orders are intentional. What I am assuming is not intended is how well Settlers captures the unending boredom and navel-gazing of being trapped at home by an unseen potentially deadly force.

Movie Review: 'The Tomorrow War'
The Tomorrow War stars Chris Pratt as a High School science teacher and military veteran who gets drafted into a very unique war. While watching the World Cup at a party, Chris and the rest of the world are shocked to find the famed tournament interrupted by the arrival of soldiers from the future. As these soldiers will eventually explain, they’ve developed time travel technology specifically so that they can go back in time to recruit soldiers to fight in a future war against alien beasties.

Thelma & Louise (The Sequel)
This is not a movie review of the film "Thelma and Louise". I know the film, and I'm hoping any readers of this piece of writing know the film also. If you have not seen the film I will give you a brief summary and explain why I think this film is important and useful.

Review of The Tomorrow War
I saw The Tomorrow War on Amazon Prime Video late last night. Some myopic critics gave it mixed reviews. I thought it was just excellent. And not because of the time travel, which was ok, but because of the unfolding plot of the movie, which brings in interstellar species, climate change, and parent-child relationships in an original and rewarding way.

‘The Tomorrow War’ Review—Delightful Sci-Fi Action

‘Infinite’ Review — Surprisingly Fun
A Mark Wahlberg action vehicle may be the most unpredictable type of film out there—you can strike gold with Patriots Day or The Other Guys, or you could end up with a pile of crap like Transformers: The Last Knight or last year’s Spenser Confidential.
