In Paranormal Activity 3, there is a scene where the father attaches a video camera to an oscillating fan. As the view moves from left to right the anticipation builds as we go from one side of the room to the other. We do not know what we are going to see when the view…

EO Review

2022 might be the donkey’s year due to two Equidae family members filling the movie screen with memorable performances. We had Jenny from The Banshees of Inisherin who broke our hearts and now we have EO. While EO is not dialogue-heavy, the movie gives us a lot to think about in how we treat our…

Devotion Review

I have not heard about Jesse Brown until I watched Devotion. Devotion tells the story of the first African-American U.S. Navy fighter pilot who fought during the Korean War and beautifully shares this story with the viewer. The movie focuses on not only the struggles that Jesse went through while serving but also highlights the…

For writers, writing a story at times is a personal journey. As the writer creates their character, little by little they put something of themselves in the character. The fictional character slowly becomes a projected version of the author. Through the character, the author is able to feel safe and share more of themselves than…

The Sonny Chiba Collection is Coming Home

I first learned about Sonny Chiba from the 1993 film, True Romance. The snippet of the movie looked pretty cool and I wanted to watch more of his films. One night I was lucky to find his “Street Fighter” collection on VHS and I bought it. I remember watching those tapes over and over. As…

The opening scene of Nothing Compares shows Sinéad O’Connor walking onto the stage of the 30th-anniversary tribute concert for Bob Dylan.
