As I catch up on reviews,I’m actually glad I hadn’t gotten to these two documentaries yet. I woke up this morning to find out that President Trump, in his infinite wisdom, has decided to defund NPR and PBS.Apparently, they are getting too political for his taste. Really? PBS is getting political? When? During Antiques Roadshow? Nova? All Creatures Great And Small? Does he just not like things he doesn’t understand? The two films I name checked above I watched both through the PBS app, which does not require a subscription, and supports audio description. Talk about serving the public good. … Continue reading Going In Blind: Change Not Charity and Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story

I would easily claim to self-identify as a comic book nerd, especially when it comes to Marvel. As a kid, which is likely when a lot of people fall in love with comics, I had the time to invest in a lot of these heroes. Granted,there was always a tier, with X-Men and their various spinoffs being at the top, but followed by basically every other Marvel hero to some extent that existed in the 90’s. I remember having Spider-Man comics, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and even I think I got a Loki one. But, somehow, the gaggle of heroes … Continue reading Thunderbolts*

Netflix is constantly importing their international content for American audiences, and they seem to pick and choose what gets audio description and what doesn’t, even if the film has no profile other than the one Netflix is giving it. This is true of the repulsive delicious, a film misguided on every level, that revels in its sadistic intentions, and ultimately fails to even deliver on that promise. It may claim to be one of the more shocking films you could watch, but having seen films like Bones And All, I’d beg to differ. Delicious is basically about a family that … Continue reading Delicious

Electra (2025)- Maria Bakalova, Abigail Cowen, Jack Farthing The idea that someone is not who they initially seem to be seems to power a range of films. Aside from the usual “killer reveal” in horror movies, where we are also treated typically to a monologue of why this deception has happened, films feature all sorts of lies and manipulation. It is the central twist that powers the Matlock reboot right now on CBS. It is basically the mantra of Tom Ripley in any incarnation. It also runs through Saltburn, with an interesting twist at the end almost validating the lies. … Continue reading Electra

Lavender Men (2025)- A Proclamation Of Excellence And One Of My Favorites This Year I’ve really only seen one movie before this that I thought had the chance of being in my top films of 2025 list. It is a sad statistic considering that I’m not that far from 100 titles in 2025, and only one title has audio description and could also land on that list. However, I have to say that Lavender Men has made an excellent case as to why it should be included even without audio description. I think this is one of the brightest, boldest, … Continue reading Lavender Men

I realize that I am at somewhat of a disadvantage when it comes to the whole “trust me this film looks great” front, which impacts a lot of action, science-fiction, horror, animated, and to some extent the other genres. it just feels so much more pronounced when visual effects fail a film like G20, as opposed to A Real Pain. But, having seen G20, i can’t really find another reason this would be considered such an egregious failure. it seems to be doing quite well for Amazon, and viola Davis is one of the greatest living actresses. She clearly likes … Continue reading G20

It has taken me a minute to collect my thoughts on the disappointment that is Scott Derrickson’s The Gorge, and Apple TV + original that they didn’t even bother to attempt a theatrical release for. While it is a disappointment, it isn’t quite the crater left behind by Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle last year, but it isn’t far away.Hopefully, you’ll be able to understand the abyss of never ending disdain for mediocrity that consumes The gorge, and perhaps why Scott should have just agreed to jump on the Black Phone sequel instead. The movie is set in one of those dystopian … Continue reading The Gorge

being forced to sit down and watch what looks like a new Star Trek film, only to realize it is cheap streaming crap, is like finding a cloaking device in your partner’s underwear drawer. have you been lied to this whole time? What level of deception has transpired in order for this egregious offense to occur? It just leaves you with this lingering question of “WTF?” After all the wait, this supposed deep dive into the intelligence gathering arm of Star Fleet is lacking in intelligence on the page. After all the whispers, this look into the clandestine is more … Continue reading Star Trek: Section 31

I remember one evening in May looking at my Facebook feed and seeing a lot of posts about severe weather. It wasn’t severe weather for where I currently live, but where I grew up. In the coming days, I would see pictures of devastation, hear stories of lives lost, and wonder if any of them would be people I knew. As a resident of Orlando, and LGBTQ, I had a similar moment waking up on a morning in June. But, while I had friends who had gone to Pulse on a regular basis, i had never been. I didn’t know … Continue reading The Twister: Caught In The Storm
