Netflixable? “Terror Comes Knocking: The Marcela Borges Story”
The stakes could not be higher. The sneering gang of armed men burst into the house, punch and abuse the inhabitants and ransack the place looking for “the money.” The husband is bloodied and the pregnant wife slapped around, all … Continue reading

Movie Review: Widower Timothy Spall crosses Britain on “The Last Bus”
The first impression Timothy Spall made on film fans was when he played a plump, delusional, somewhat daft chef in Mike Leigh’s quirky slice-of-working-class dream, “Life is Sweet.” Restaurateur Aubrey thought putting boiled bacon consumme, prune quiche and pork cyst … Continue reading

Netflixable? Looking for Love via a Rich Bachelor in “The Wrong Paris”
As obvious as its title and as sexy as an all-gals bull-riding contest, “The Wrong Paris” is a Netflix romance novel of a movie whose creators don’t dishonor The Hallmark Channel Oath. Keep it cute, keep it clean and make … Continue reading

Movie Review: Coming Out in the ’90s is no Easy Thing for “Plaintclothes” Cop
“Plainclothes” is a simple but engaging “coming out” tale of the sort we’ve been seeing for decades now. But the performances are understated and spot-on. And writer-director Camen Emmi’s feature debut reels us in through the simple trick of not … Continue reading

Documentary Review: Celebrating the Artistry of a “Massacre” set in “Texas” — “Chain Reactions”

Netflixable? “aka Charlie Sheen” shows us a Bad Boy at 60

Movie Review: “A Long Walk” on the Road to Nowhere
It doesn’t do “The Long Walk” any favors slapping the previews to the remake of “The Running Man” on before the opening credits. “Walk” is “Running” without the running or the amped-up game show “entertainment” elements. The title and the … Continue reading
