Victoria & Abdul – Film Review
An amusing title appears at the end of the opening credits to director Stephen Frears’ often humorous account of the biographical period drama, Victoria & Abdul. It reads,‘Based on real events,’ then adds the word, ‘mostly.’ Yet, once seen, check the details of the film and you’ll find something interesting. The statement is actually less […]

American Made – Film Review
Remember those manic moments during the final act of Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas? It was where the world around Henry Hill spiraled recklessly out of control, and then kept spiraling.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle – Film Review
Look back to the obnoxious 2015 original, Kingsman: The Secret Service, and try to recall the closing scene. After all the mayhem, the young secret agent is awarded the girl as if she was a gift for a job well done. She’s Princess Tilde of Sweden, and she’s on her hands and knees with her butt […]
