HOW TO MAKE A KILLING Has A Wickedly Fun Premise That Lacks Swagger And Attitude
A dark comedy featuring gallows humor is totally my jam, and after reading the synopsis of How to Make a Killing, I was excited for a wild, possibly absurd ride.

Wuthering Heights: visually sumptuous, boldly acted, yet deeply disappointing
As a retired literature teacher who read and later introduced students to Emily Brontë’s only novel, I approached the 2026 adaptation of Wuthering Heights with anticipation—and, I admit, protectiveness. Directed and written by Emerald Fennell and starring Margot Robbie as Catherine and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, the adaptation is visually sumptuous and boldly acted. Yet… Continue reading Wuthering Heights: visually sumptuous, boldly acted, yet deeply disappointing
WUTHERING HEIGHTS: This Is Not Your Mother’s, Grandmother’s, Or Great-Grandmother’s Adaptation
Ever since Emily Brontë’s novel was published in 1847, there have been multiple adaptations of the story. Provocative filmmaker Emerald Fennell (Saltburn, Promising Young Woman) now takes a turn with a version of the “love story” that is bold, passionate, and also hilarious and quite naughty. I have watched only the 1939 version starring Laurence… Continue reading WUTHERING HEIGHTS: This Is Not Your Mother’s, Grandmother’s, Or Great-Grandmother’s Adaptation
Film Review: Crime 101

You walk in hoping to be the first to see a modern classic, especially with a heavy-hitting Don Winslow adaptation and an epic cast like this. Unfortunately, Crime 101 is a movie that spends so much time trying… Continue reading Film Review: Crime 101
