I was and probably will never be a fan of Tom Brady. I get it. He was the 199th person selected during the sixth draft pick. It’s the type of underdog story most people make movies about especially how Brady went on to win seven Super Bowl rings, six of which with the New EnglandContinue reading “Tom Brady Roast Is Overdone”

‘Lover Stalker Killer’ Is A True Fatal Attraction
True-crime is everywhere it seems. Podcasts, internet sleuths and TV shows fill the landscape. However, a documentary like Lover Stalker Killer, streaming on Netflix, may seem like it’s a basic run-of-the-mill story, but Dave Kroupa, the man at the center of the story is your basic run-of-the-mill mechanic. Maybe that’s why these true-crime stories appealContinue reading “‘Lover Stalker Killer’ Is A True Fatal Attraction”
‘Bitconned’ Worth Its Weight
While watching Bitconned, the documentary on Netflix, about a cryptocurrency scam, I had to stop it to double-check I wasn’t watching a mockumentary. Everything about it seemed to preposterous to be based on a true-crime case. But it’s the real deal Holyfield. Centra Tech was a cryptocurrency formed in south Florida in the 2010s byContinue reading “‘Bitconned’ Worth Its Weight”
Sofia Vergara Glows In Netflix’s Uneven ‘Griselda’ Series
Sofia Vergara rose from obscurity as a character actor to a major comedic actress in the sitcom Modern Family where her role could’ve been a one-joke trope as the younger wife to Ed O’Neill’s character. But as the show became a big hit through the 2010s, Vergara saw her career rise. And Vergara was nominatedContinue reading “Sofia Vergara Glows In Netflix’s Uneven ‘Griselda’ Series”
‘Nyad’ Is A Character Study In Narcissism And Perfectionism
Diana Nyad is not the most pleasant woman in the world. If you were at a social event and she began talking to you, you wouldn’t want to listen to her for two minutes. So, why on Earth would anyone want to see a two-hour biopic about her life? It’s because it’s so well made.Continue reading “‘Nyad’ Is A Character Study In Narcissism And Perfectionism”
Documentary Is A ‘Sly’ View Of Stallone
Sly is an appropriate name for the documentary on the life and career of Sylvester Stallone. The runtime is about an hour and a half, about half the length of the Netflix documentary on his rival, friend and business partner Arnold Schwarzenegger, but maybe that’s because the “Governator” has had more of a fascinating life.Continue reading “Documentary Is A ‘Sly’ View Of Stallone”
‘Pain Hustlers’ In A Fix For A Good Story
Emily Blunt is one of those actresses whose name, appearance and body of work seems like she should be doing Downton Abbey, The Crown or some other period piece movie or TV show. At one time, she was the contender to play Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But she has proved that sheContinue reading “‘Pain Hustlers’ In A Fix For A Good Story”
‘They Cloned Tyrone’ Funky Freaky Fun
They Cloned Tyrone is a return to form for Netflix. It’s a sci-fi comedy with an outrageously absurd plot that works so well. This is what The Blackening should have been. It’s a movie that gives us characters so colorful that the actors have so much fun playing them. And when you’re casting John Boyega,Continue reading “‘They Cloned Tyrone’ Funky Freaky Fun”
‘Reptile’ Slithers At Snail’s Pace
Reptile is one of those slow-burn gritty movies that sometimes works if all the pieces come together correctly. And a lot of times they don’t. It begins with a gruesome murder as a cop dealing with his own demons is brought in to investigate. They think they get the right person in the second act,Continue reading “‘Reptile’ Slithers At Snail’s Pace”
Leave Behind ‘Leave The World Behind’
A movie like Leave the World Behind suffers the same fate that Bird Box had that it had a great set up to a final act that feels like someone trying to rush everything. It’s like they filmed the movie in chronological order and ran out of money with 75-80 percent filmed and just decidedContinue reading “Leave Behind ‘Leave The World Behind’”
