Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zILmrAJgzSc&pp=ygUZcSBsYXp6YXJ1cyBnb29kYnllIGhvcnNlcw%3D%3D Really interesting how certain songs immediately make you think of a scene in a movie. This Propellerhead's Spybreak! and Stealers Wheel's Stuck in the Middle With You are others that come to mind.

Movie Review: West Side Story
I've always thought the original West Side Story (1961) was close to perfect. I was not excited to see a remake of it. Remakes should focus on flawed films and make them better. Much to my surprise, the new West Side Story (2021) shows the flaws in the original I simply didn't see before. It's … Continue reading Movie Review: West Side Story
A Second-Hand Review of Matrix Resurrections
https://www.imdb.com/review/rw7672532/?ref_=tt_urv One of the more interesting movie reviews I've ever read. Does mom truly love Matrix Resurrections? Or, does she love any movie that excites her autistic child in this way? I'd really like to know more.

Film Review: Cruella

Cruella is neither of these … Continue reading Film Review: Cruella

Uncle Frank
Uncle Frank is a wonderful movie. I don't want to review it or summarize it. I just want to recommend it. The rest I leave to you.
Puzzle (2018)
Puzzle is a movie about the transformation of a mousey, suburban mom into a real person, complex and willing to stand up for herself. I love coming-of-age movies, but one featuring a woman in her 40s with grown children, was so much better for reasons I cannot quite put my finger on. Kelly Macdonald's performance … Continue reading Puzzle (2018)
