The announcement of the renewal was made by Casey Bloys, Chief Content Officer, HBO and HBO Max.  The first season premiered on November 26 and just concluded on December 17.  It’s a thrilling ride and one that would make Alfred Hitchcock proud.  I’d review it myself but this is is a tough series to…

Fatale: Thriller Misses The Mark

Fatale, the new thriller from Deon Taylor, misses the mark in one of the final theatrical releases to ring out the dumpster fire. Sports agent Derrick (Michael Ealy) may be successful in life but he’s not so successful in vetting his one-night stands.  Seriously.  How can someone be so foolish enough?  I swear people vet their Facebook friend requests more than they vet their one-night stands.  Seriously.  One thing that is certain about one-night stands:…

Greenland: A 21st Century Deep Impact

Greenland is a thrilling race against time for one family as they hope to get to safety in the bunker before it ends up being too late. The short of it is that Greenland is the modern-day Deep Impact with a lottery system deciding who lives and who dies.  There is a difference between the two films as this film does not focus on the government leaders or news coverage.  Instead, the focus is on…

The Solzy Awards for Documentaries in 2020 honor the best of the documentary films that were released during the past year. Last month, I voted in my second-ever Critic’s Choice Documentary Awards.
