Spinning Gold has a rockin’ soundtrack and is a bigger-than-life biopic about record producer and Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart. There’s a good chance that you’ve never heard of Neil Bogart. After all, the record executive died before he turned 40 years old. He’s not one of the well-known figures like Berry Gordy, Jerry Wexler, Clive Davis, Sam Phillips, Leonard Chess, etc. Nor is he in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside the…

Operation Mincemeat has the pedigree to draw viewer interest in this stranger-than-fiction true story of World War II events in 1943. I should warn you first and foremost that if subtitles are not your thing, this film will not be for you. While much of it is in English, there are a number of scenes that have subtitles on screen.

Much of this is due to how the film is limited to just the one room. To be fair,…

Everyone’s favorite animated dog lives to see another day. Given the family appeal, it makes perfect sense for Warner Bros. to offer this film through VOD rather than wait until theaters to re-open.

Hotel Mumbai basically serves as a reenactment of the awful terrorist attack that fell upon the city of Mumbai in November 2008. For one waiter, Arjun (Dev Patel), he started off his day by running late and getting chewed out by head Taj Mahal Palace Hotel chef Hemant Oberoi (Anupam Kher) for wearing the wrong pair of shoes. The kitchen is under an insane amount of stress with the rival of David (Armie Hammer) and Zahra…
