THE GREEN KNIGHT

By: Renee’ C. Rating: 2 (Out of 5 Reels) A fantasy re-telling of the medieval story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) and the Green Knight (IMDB). Let me start by saying this film is visually stunning and Dev Patel gives a great performance as Sir Gawain. The problem is this film is way too long.… Continue reading THE GREEN KNIGHT

THE GREEN KNIGHT

By Mark Saldana Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars) Even though this film is based upon an Arthurian tale, it is very much an interpretation and adaptation by filmmaker David Lowery. The film director has taken this story and given it a truly incredible and artistic realization that feels very modern and timely, despite the… Continue reading THE GREEN KNIGHT

STILLWATER

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) On the surface, the timing of this movie’s story seems totally wrong, given that it involves a white American supposedly wrongfully accused of a murder. What I mean is that there are so many people of color in America wrongfully under arrest, awaiting trial, or wrongfully… Continue reading STILLWATER

JUNGLE CRUISE

Dwayne Johnson is Frank and Emily Blunt is Lily in Disney’s JUNGLE CRUISE.

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) If there is one thing that Disney’s Pirates of the Carribean has proven, it is the fact that Disney producers with the right creative filmmakers can turn a popular Disney park attraction into a highly entertaining and well-made movie. And that is exactly what Disney hopes… Continue reading JUNGLE CRUISE

By Laurie Coker Rating: D+ It is easy to give director M. Night Shyamalan second (third, fourth …) chances. After all, he did blow our minds with “The 6th Sense” and entertain us with “Signs” and for some “Unbreakable”. Since then, however, his subsequent films are more whaaat? than wow. “Old”, the director’s latest venture… Continue reading OLD
