Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford is a brilliant new documentary about the cinematic icon and iconic actor. “It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.” – Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) If there’s something I’ve learned from watching the many Laurent Bouzereau documentaries through the years, it’s to never be disappointed. Sure enough, the filmmaker comes through yet again with a very informative documentary about not only Indiana Jones the character but Harrison Ford…

Frank Marshall spoke with Solzy at the Movies on the red carpet prior to the world premiere of Rather during the 2023 Tribeca Festival. Rather kicked off a busy Tribeca Festival for the filmmaker as it was one of three projects he directed or executive produced. The other two were The Fourth Wall and The Space Race, both of which Marshall executive produced. Following the premiere, Marshall joined Dan Rather in a conversation moderated by…

Rather is a superb and brilliant documentary about the life and career of the iconic CBS News anchor and reporter Dan Rather. Dan Rather left the CBS Evening News anchor desk in early 2005 after a 24-year stint. He was the second of the Big Three news broadcasters to step down–Tom Brokaw went first late 2004 and Peter Jennings would have his final broadcast days later in 2005. Being a child of the 1980s, they…

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous launches its fifth and final season on Netflix with a thrilling conclusion to the Nublar Six’s saga. The past few years have been both fun and thrilling. For Jurassic Park/World fans such as myself, the animated series has provided a way to hold fans over until Jurassic World Dominion‘s release. While I wasn’t as high on the fourth season as the previous seasons, it’s been one heck of a ride. Even…

Light & Magic is a 6-part documentary series that goes back into the archives to give us the deep history of Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). The history of ILM cannot be told without George Lucas, John Dykstra, Ken Ralston, Richard Edlund, Dennis Muren, Robert Blalack, Joe Johnston, Phil Tippett, Steve Gawley, Lorne Peterson, and Paul Huston. It’s because of them that filmmaking would change as a result of a sci-fi film, Star Wars. Dennis Muren would also join the list of…

Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story offers a fun time for all while giving audiences a taste for why this New Orleans festival is so popular. The documentary has the unfortunate luck of opening right after Summer of Soul won the Oscar for Best Documentary. I say this because comparisons between the two are inevitable as unfair as it may be. We ought to recognize this film for its own merits. Putting 50 years of…

It’s been sixteen years since the theatrical release in 2006 but Eight Below is a testament to the challenges of survival and friendship. After watching a number of disaster thrillers over MLK weekend in January, I was in the mood for a film about dogs. Upon noticing that I missed last year’s 15th anniversary, I figured it would be better late than never. Given the film’s themes of survival and friendship, I knew the adventure film…

Vonn joins veteran filmmaker and U.S. Olympic Hall of Famer Frank Marshall in the process of stepping behind the camera.

Frank Marshall is back with another brilliant music documentary, Carole King & James Taylor: Just Call Out My Name, to kick off 2022. The documentary opens with a montage featuring the late night hosts. This is before the film gets into the main focus: the 2010 Troubadour Reunion Tour featuring the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members (Taylor-2000, King-1990 and 2021). The Troubadour shows took place over a series of days in November 2007…

The third season of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous may be the most intense season as we worry about the fate of the campers. In a perfect world, we’d be getting Jurassic World: Dominion this summer. This might not happening but we can still return to Isla Nublar this week. I always have a fun time going back to the island. Strangely, I keep turning to these films and series for comfort viewing during the pandemic.…
