My Top-Five Film Books
I am between things right now. Another season is coming to an end. Not the summer, but the film festival season in my hometown. I volunteered to assist with the Fantasia Film Festival for a second year in a row, and now that it is over…I have time on my hands before I return to a teaching job at a college that covers the bills but no longer fills me with joy the way it once did.

A Family Affair
We are finally feeling the effects of the duel strike that effectively shut down Hollywood last year. Few films are getting theatrical releases this year and anything that was produced seems to be going straight to streaming services. That said Netflix, Max, and Prime Video have all been seemingly cranking out the original content and as a reviewer I have to do my due diligence. So today we are taking on Netflix’s A Family Affair. I know nothing about this movie and honestly the most intriguing thing about it is its cast. I will watch Zac Efron in just about anything, so here we go.

Twisters
We went to go see Twisters this past weekend. Glen Powell really can generate chemistry with absolutely nothing. There were parts that were funny, and entertaining and even actually good. That said, not even Glen’s incredible magnetism could save this movie from mediocrity. There was really nothing extremely wrong with the film but there was also nothing extremely good about it. So let’s talk about Twisters.
