LATE NIGHT Review — A Little Something for Both Your Heart and Your Head
Late Night Review — Addresses issues that touch us all, in ways that make us think and smile. Late Night’s premise and casting are flawless: Emma Thompson is Katherine Newbury, America’s only super successful, female nighttime talk show host host of long standing.

DARK PHOENIX Review — Lively Girrrl Power Theme Helps it Rise Above the Crowd
Dark Phoenix review — A clever, refreshing superpower flick where the hero, the villain and many supporting cast members are powerful females.

Rocketman review — They’ll never kill the thrills we got… from all that Elton John gave us. The year was 1975, and the place was Dodger Stadium. Emmylou Harris and Joe Walsh were the warm up acts for none other than Elton John, who was decked out in a sequined Dodger uniform. I’ll never forget…

ALADDIN Review — A Whole New World?
Aladdin Review — Can Disney revive the magic of the animated version, and more importantly, does Will Smith look good in blue?

BOOKSMART Review — Great for Millennials, Baby Boomers Beware
Booksmart Review — You’ll probably think they nailed it or failed it, depending on your age. Booksmart, first time director Olivia Wilde’s new coming of age comedy, will probably be viewed as this year’s Lady Bird, and this generation’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. As with most films in this genre, I’m thinking fans and foes will be…
A DOG’S JOURNEY Review — Resistance is Futile. Scratch Its Belly.
A Dog’s Journey Review — Best of the three “A Dog’s…” movies, you’d better bring tissues. Let’s get this out of the way right up front: If you’ve ever loved a dog, owned a dog, petted a dog, seen a dog or even ‘liked’ a dog photo on Facebook, you WILL cry. It might not…
