Between film, television, and streaming services, there is simply way too much streaming content getting released for public consumption. It’s all too much as The Beatles guitarist George Harrison once sang. According to a piece in Variety, a Nielsen report states that there are 817,000 unique titles across both TV and the various streaming services as of February 2022. The number is up 26% from 646,000 titles in December 2019. It’s enough to feel overwhelmed–I…

Richard Linklater is back with an animated film, Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood, that is sure to be an awards contender. Animation is cinema and it is not only for children if you go by the film’s PG-13 rating. I’m not sure whether unique is the right word to use but there’s something about the visuals here that stand apart from watching other animated movies. Maybe it is the fact that they utilize…

Judd Apatow’s new pandemic comedy, The Bubble, is the pandemic comedy that we’ve been waiting for and it is perfection. The Bubble follows the making of Cliff Beasts 6: Battle for Everest: Memories of a Requim. It’s the 6th film in one of the largest dinosaur franchises in cinematic history. Think a C-franchise version of Jurassic Park. Everyone is staying at the same hotel where there is no interaction with anyone else while quarantining. What…

Rescued by Ruby is one of the newest original films now streaming on Netflix but it has every bit the feel of a Hallmark movie. Before I go on, I think it is important for you to know that the dog doesn’t die. In fact, Ruby–half border collie–goes on to be one of the top search and rescue dogs of the year! Her story is so inspiring that it should appeal to more than just…

Windfall is a solid Hitchcockian thriller that makes the best use of both location and a minimal cast during the pandemic. The least you know about Windfall, the better it is. What I can tell you is that the focus is on a CEO (Jesse Plemons), his wife (Lily Collins), and a robber that we only know as Nobody (Jason Segel). The couple is arriving to their vacation home while this guy is in the…

The Adam Project isn’t the second coming of Free Guy but it shows that last summer’s Shawn Levy-Ryan Reynolds combo isn’t a fluke. Every now and then, there’s a film coming out that reminds me of the movies I grew up with. In 2011, it was Super 8. This year, it’s The Adam Project. Steven Spielberg might not be behind this movie but it’s something I could see him producing in the 1980s. This is…

One, Professor Kim wants to see to it that Yaz McKay (Nana Mensah) makes tenure. Two, she also needs to work…

A weekend getaway trip to Croatia ends up becoming a murder mystery in the newest Netflix movie, The Weekend Away. Sarah Alderson adapts the script from her book of the same name. Anyone already familiar with the book is at an advantage. More power to you if this is the case. The rest of us are coming in cold. Or after watching the trailer. You do you. If your like me, the casting of Leighton…
