My Review of "The Beekeeper"
The Beekeeper is one of the first big action blockbuster movies to come out in theatres in 2024. It is definitely a movie going experience. If you've been keeping up with Jason Statham movies then you kind of know what you're getting yourself into when you check this movie out. It doesn't disappoint and he delivers his signature character he brings in all of his movies.

In the military action film "Land of Bad," two heroes emerge amidst the chaos of a hostage extraction mission gone awry. Air Force Sergeant J.J. "Playboy" Kinney, portrayed by Liam Hemsworth, embodies the capable yet inexperienced soldier navigating treacherous terrain with conviction and skill. His counterpart, Captain Eddie "Reaper" Grimm, played by Russell Crowe, assumes the role of the socially awkward drone pilot, whose guidance becomes pivotal in the mission's outcome.

Eileen (2023) Movie Review
In the world of Eileen, ugliness reigns supreme. From her decrepit Massachusetts town to the dilapidated house she shares with her alcoholic father, Eileen's existence is a symphony of dinginess. Even her workplace, a youth center that feels more like a prison for troubled kids, exudes an aura of unrelenting bleakness. Yet, amidst this sea of desolation, one figure stands out like a beacon of light – Dr. Rebecca St. John.

In recent weeks, theaters have been inundated with animated films centered around avian themes, marking a curious trend in cinema. Beginning with the latest offering from revered animator Hayao Miyazaki, "The Boy and the Heron," and followed by the eagerly anticipated sequel "Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget," audiences have been treated to a diverse array of bird-centric narratives.

The Zone of Interest (2023) Movie Review
Many months have passed, yet the impact of "The Zone of Interest" lingers with haunting resonance. Jonathan Glazer's bold reinterpretation of the Holocaust, experienced back in May, left an indelible mark. In a cinematic landscape already saturated with narratives of unimaginable suffering and human cruelty, Glazer's adaptation of Martin Amis' novel offers a unique perspective that transcends mere witnessing.

Poor Things (2023) Movie Review
Yorgos Lanthimos revels in portraying extreme human behavior against the backdrop of pristine environments. Whether it's the serene suburbia in "Dogtooth," the sterile laboratory setting in "The Lobster," or the lavish opulence depicted in "The Favourite," Lanthimos consistently explores the jarring dichotomy between societal expectations and the messy reality of human nature, a theme that endlessly captivates him.

Thoughts on Ernest Hemingway’s Short Story “Hills Like White Elephants”
The short story “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway symbolizes the choice that many young couples must face when they find out that they are pregnant. The first time I read the story, I had no idea what it was about. It wasn’t until I got some outside information on the story that I understood that the operation that they were subtly discussing was in fact abortion. Their conversation is very believable. It seems as if it would be a very common conversation between many couples in this day and age. Their conversation consisted of short, indirect sentences. I found the man in the short story to be the shallow one. I think it is likely more relatable for many couples that the man is typically the more shallow one in most circumstances with surprise pregnancies. Hemingway likely wrote the story this way in order to prove a more believable, or relatable situation. The man in the story was the one who wanted to carry on with his fun life. He didn’t really want to commit, or have any obligations to hold him down.

Villainess Review: Angela Wright (My Husband's Baby)
For the last two and a half years, Tubi has really served up some delicious Lifetime-esque thrillers, with some deliciously fiendish and malevolent villainesses--some of whom I've mentioned on Vocal. So what does Tubi have in store for us in 2024? Well, if this film, My Husband's Baby, is any indication, I think this year may top last year when it comes to the wicked women of Tubi.

One Life (2023) Movie Review
Marking a distinguished foray into feature filmmaking, veteran TV director James Hawes, known for his work on "Black Mirror," presents "One Life," a masterfully interwoven narrative spanning two eras in the extraordinary life of esteemed British humanitarian Sir Nicholas Winton (1909-2015), fondly referred to as "the British Schindler." With a stellar cast led by the venerable Anthony Hopkins as the reflective elder Winton and Johnny Flynn as his spirited younger counterpart, the biopic serves as a poignant testament to the indomitable power of altruism.
