Wes Schlagenhauf Is Dying – Tribeca 2022

When they learn that their best friend is dying from Covid-19, a pair of filmmakers document their journey in Wes Schlagenhauf Is Dying. I’m not sure which genre this film falls into because it certainly isn’t a documentary. In fact, the film makes its Tribeca premiere in the Narrative Competition. I went into this film wanting to like it after hearing positive reactions from friends in the film industry. However, I’m falling somewhere in the…

Ride the Eagle: A Heartfelt Comedy

Ride the Eagle is a heartfelt comedy that feels timely and should be able to resonate with audiences well over a year into the pandemic.

It’s not like it was any one thing that set them apart. She made choices that Leif didn’t agree with and the rest is history. Nobody…

The Good Place Teaches Us Ethics For Last Time

The Good Place begins the final round of goodbyes when the fourth season premiere of the ethics-teaching series airs tonight on NBC. There’s no easy way to discuss this comedy series without fear of spoilers.  It’s also a series that you honestly need to start from the beginning.  There’s no up and jumping into the fourth season or you’ll be very lost.  Honestly, I feel that The Selection digital series will enhance the new season,…

Sundance 2019: Greener Grass

Greener Grass takes us to a type of suburbs that we’ve never really seen presented on screen before but the laughs keep coming non-stop. To the outside word, this particular Midwest-inspired suburb is a strikingly weird one.  It’s almost as if everybody lives a suburb that’s not known to the outside world.  Chances are, you’ve never seen a neighborhood that behaves in this manner.  Instead of driving cars, everybody drives golf carts instead.  Every single…

The Good Place: Season 3 is GREAT!

The Good Place is back for season 3 and the hit sitcom starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson is as great as it’s ever been. When we last saw our favorite people trying to escape The Bad Place, Good Place architect Michael (Ted Danson) argued in front of the Judge (Maya Rudolph) that four humans did not receive proper treatment.  Season 2 ended with a twist that stays true to the spirit of the series.…

Created by Michael Schur, the sitcom stars Kristen Bell, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, Manny Jacinto, D’Arcy Carden, and Ted Danson.
