Documentary filmmaker Lana Wilson returned to Sundance with a powerful two-part documentary, Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields. Each part of Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields runs 68 minutes for a combined run time of 2 hours, 16 minutes. When I was growing up, I didn’t know Brooke Shields from her work as a child star. No, I mainly knew her from the NBC sitcom, Suddenly Susan. A lot of what happens in the film came as news…

Pamela, a love story gives Pamela Anderson a chance to tell her own story as the actress heads into the next chapter of her life. Documentary filmmaker Ryan White is keeping busy! He was just launching Good Night Oppy in theaters and on Prime Video just a few months ago! How this documentary didn’t premiere at Sundance is beyond me. If it did, it would have been the talk of Sundance along with Pretty Baby:…

Aliens Abducted My Parents and Now I Kinda Feel Left Out is a comedy that could have very well been released by Amblin in the 1980s. I feel like there’s some sort of rule where everyone must try their hand at paying homage to Steven Spielberg at some point in their career. Or, at the very least, films paying homage to the films that inspired filmmakers to get into filmmaking. The Spielbergian sort of movies…

A teenager struggles within her fundamentalist community in The Starling Girl but things change when she’s drawn to the youth pastor. If not for its Kentucky setting, I might not have watched The Starling Girl during Sundance. This is more or less because of the fundamentalist aspect. At the end of the day, I am glad that I gave it a chance. I’ll likely end up watching on the big screen when it is time…

Stars Fell Again takes place some two years after audiences last saw Bryce and Madison fall in love during Stars Fell on Alabama. While I admit to the first film being cute, I didn’t think it was the type to start a franchise. Two years later, the stars are falling in Oregon as Bryce (James Maslow) and Madison (Ciara Hanna) head there for the holidays. They’re there so that Madison can spend time with her…

Jonathan Majors is on a role as the actor made his return to Sundance with a strong performance in the very intense Magazine Dreams. I’m not kidding around when it comes to the intensity of the film. It is not an easy film to watch. There are many times when the lead character loses his temper. At the same time, there are instances where it appears that his temper gets the rest of him, only…

Daisy Ridley returned to Sundance in a starring role in the feature-length adaptation of Sometimes I Think About Dying. It’s not often that a fellow Louisville native directs the first feature film I watch on the ground during Sundance but here we are. Lambert previously premiered her first narrative feature, In the Radiant City, in Toronto back in 2016. Anyway, Lambert’s newest film–a feature adaptation of Stefanie Abel Horowitz‘s short film–premiered on Sundance’s opening night…

Baseball fans woke up this morning to find that YouTube TV was stupidly not carrying the MLB Network on their now-worthless service. YouTube TV sent out the following email to their subscribers about the MLB Network: We have been working hard to renew our deal with the MLB Network to continue carrying their content on YouTube TV. However, we have been unable to reach an agreement, and starting today, January 31, 2023, MLB Network content will no longer be available…

80 for Brady might have some moments that feel too unrealistic to believe but the film is very hysterical with laugh-out-loud moments. It’s no surprise that this film is so hysterical because it’s written by both Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern. The duo created Trophy Wife and went onto co-write Booksmart. Meanwhile, the cast only elevates the material and their delivery helps bring even more laughter. There are some moments that are so absurd that…
