Escape from Pretoria (2020) Movie Review
When anti-apartheid activist Tim Jenkin arrived at Pretoria Local Prison in 1978, he was met with a ham-faced warden who spat the words, "You are the white Mandela" at him. The warden did not mean it as a compliment, calling Jenkin "the most deluded of them all." In Francis Annan's film, "Escape from Pretoria," this line serves as a shortcut to nobility. But the film has scant time for character development and social context. It works well as a straight-up jailbreak thriller, but when it tries to tackle historical import, it falls short.

Life and Death in the Warehouse (2022) Movie Review
Life and Death in the Warehouse, a punchy and fact-based drama by new screenwriter Helen Black, may not turn every viewer into a full-fledged communist, but it is sure to make people think twice about their shopping habits. The drama sheds light on the behind-the-scenes work that provides us with a life of unparalleled convenience and exposes the exploited and abused workers who make it possible.

Deep Water (2022) Movie Review
Adrian Lyne's "Deep Water" has garnered a lot of attention since it was released on Hulu. The movie, which was produced by Fox, was eventually acquired by Disney and was later released on Hulu, a move that disappointed fans who were hoping for a theatrical release. The film has been dubbed a "return to movies for adults," a genre that has become increasingly rare in today's PG-13-driven studio system. The hype around the film has been compounded by the fact that it's the first film that Lyne has directed in over two decades.

Death on the Nile (2022) Movie Review
"Death on the Nile" is a new adaptation of Agatha Christie's murder mystery, directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also stars as the legendary detective Hercule Poirot. The film is a follow-up to Branagh's 2017 "Murder on the Orient Express," and features an impressive cast, including Armie Hammer and Gal Gadot. While the champagne is sparkling, the wood decks are gleaming, and the white linens are pressed to a crisp, the journey for the audience is not quite as much escapist fun as it should be.

The Revenant (2015) Movie Review
The art of filmmaking is one that requires a masterful touch, a delicate balance between visual artistry and storytelling that keeps the audience engaged and emotionally invested. The power of film lies in its ability to transport viewers to different times and places, allowing us to experience the unimaginable through the eyes of the characters we are watching. While many films attempt to capture this magic, few do so as effectively as Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu's "The Revenant."

SHE BELIEVED SHE COULD, SO SHE DID.
“She Believed She Could, So She Did.” [A Film Review on “Woman Woman” (2017)] Every woman should see “Wonder Woman.” If not in theaters, then at least when it airs on either basic cable; or stream it on any of the many streaming services we’re all now deliriously drowning in.
