Writer-director Rian Johnson has done it again as he takes Detective Benoit Blanc on a new adventure in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. The one downside of this film being released by Netflix is that it’s theatrical release will probably be a brief one. That’s a shame. No matter how many times I’ve watched Knives Out since seeing it twice in theaters, watching at home just isn’t the same. You really need the audience…

While it reminds viewers of Sliding Doors, the earlier film wasn’t the first to do it either. The term actually dates back to 1932. But in any event, this film takes a heartwarming approach while having a lot of commentary on filmmaking and artistry in general. Finding one’s…

A singer-songwriter and a marine agree to get married for the benefits in Purple Hearts but things become very real after a tragedy. This film is very much in line with the Nicholas Sparks genre. It has all of the melodrama that comes with the territory. I will say that Sofia Carson’s musical contributions manage to elevate the film just a bit. If you’ve read the Tess Wakefield novel, you have somewhat of an advantage.…
