Hitchcock’s Most Superior and Nuanced Films - in mini 50 word free verse/reviews/critiques
Quick note: As Alfred Hitchcock has always been my favourite film director from a young age - I thought it would be fun to comment on a few of my favourites, but not give too much away - perhaps whetting one’s appetite to seek out the films again. I’ve always found his films captivating. I remember watching “The Man Who Knew Too Much” and “Rear Window” on T.V when I was about seven or eight and repeatedly loving these. The combination of mystery, suspense and biting wit, along with likable characters that you root for from the get go.

Rebel Moon is the Future of Entertainment. Top Story - December 2023.
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD. There is no nice way of putting it. Rebel Moon is terrible. But not terrible for the reasons that most people have noticed. After being out for a little less than two weeks, most people have panned the movie for what it is. A sloppy, copy and paste job of some of the most popular science fiction franchises. However, Rebel Moon is far more problematic than that. It goes beyond common sci-fi tropes. It mashes together nearly every successful genre possible in hopes of appealing to the majority people. In doing this, it is everything and nothing at once.

We have different definitions of a man, Bishop! The scathing reviews and 'I-told-you-so-s' regarding the new The Marvels reminded me of a video that circulated on social media a little while ago. It’s a clip from an hour-long Father’s Day sermon from author/speaker/Bishop T.D. Jakes.

Michael Gambon's Most Unforgettable Role
For those who grew up with the Harry Potter movies, they likely see Michael Gambon's face as the apotheosis of warmth and wisdom. Taking over the role of Professor Albus Dumbledore upon the death of the beloved Richard Harris, though, it was no easy task he had before him trying to fill those shoes. Famously, though, Gambon didn't even attempt to. He didn't read the books, and he didn't allow his approach to the character to be tainted by Harris's prior portrayal.
