Netflix | PG-13 | 1 hour 58 minutes | Review Originally published 01/06/2020 The Midnight Sky, with its near Christmas Eve release, earns actor/director George Clooney the award for ‘Best Santa Claus Beard’. The timing of the beard and the movie couldn’t be better. After a year of streaming everything in sight, we are allContinue reading “The Midnight Sky, 2020”

The Perks of Being a Wallflower, 2012

Netflix | PG-13 | 1 hour 43 minutes | Retro Review Originally published 01/05/2021 I grow weary of the term ‘coming of age,’ even if the cliché fits the movie (in a good way).

Wonder Woman 1984, 2020

HBO Max | Rated PG-13 | 2 hours 31 minutes | REVIEW Originally published 12/28/2020 I want to say nice things.

A Time To Kill, 1996

HBO Max | Rated R | 2 hours 29 minutes | RETRO REVIEW Originally published 10/10/2020 Time warp back to the 90’s and play ‘Count the Oscar Winners.’ A Time to Kill was a triumph (back in the day).
