Corner Office—suspenseful—has an exceptional script that keeps its audience guessing to the very last scene and even then leaves its audience with deep questions about what was really happening. Don't miss this movie. The casting department flawlessly chose actors perfectly suited for this story.

Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This
is a poignant film that one will not soon forget. It would be the perfect movie to pull from a home video library to share with guests as it provokes discussion about the power of the mind.
Boon—suitable—is an average action drama. Watch for an unusual casting choice, Neil McDonough, who fills his role quite well.

Cast includes Neal McDonough, Christiane Seidel, Christina Ochoa, Jake Melrose, Demetrius Grosse, John Patrick Jordan, and Gabrielle Carteris.
Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. If there is nothing else on, it is a suitable action, drama film.
Escape Through Africa—title, and Eric Roberts lure one into watching— is a dud due to writing of script with its feeling that this is the middle of another story without the other story's beginning and conclusion. The weak acting is not believable. The film is poorly structured from
the word 'go'. This movie does not give anything to the audience who invests time and money to watch it.

Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
No. Audiences should wonder why the technology available in 2022 is not used well in production. It is what it is and does not earn its watch.
Blacklight—relies on an old story—loses creativity due to its cliched script. Nothing new here. The camera work is not superlative. The movie could almost be skipped.

Thank you to Director Mark Williams for directing effort. Thank you to Producers Mark Williams, Paul Currie, Myles Nestel, Aleve Loh, and Coco Xiaolu Ma for making the film possible. Cast includes Liam Neeson, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Taylor John Smith, and Aidan Quinn,
Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe. This is a Liam Neeson political intrigue film that has to build its story before reaching the actual story which occurs in the last 30 to 40 minutes of the film. The suitable quality is uniform throughout the film and includes that climax at the end.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore—has an interesting storyline that has good to suitable presentation, portrayal, and acting. Beware of trying to fit this film into the Harry Potter stories despite Dumbledore's presence in the storyline. It could almost be a stand-alone movie with the previous movies from the Fantastic Beast series as points of reference rather than actual prequels. Jude Law reprises his role as Dumbledore, Eddie
Redmayne as Newt Scamander. Johnny Depp did not reprise
his role as Gellert Grindelwald. That role went to Mads Mikkelsen who fits the character better. This movie is a bit odd, quite dark, and unclear.

Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe. As always, these stories are interesting in storyline, present good to suitable watching for acting and portrayal, and show highly imaginative stage settings.
Avatar: The Way of Water becomes an ode to visually stimulating special
effects while forgetting storyline and emotional appeal are as integral a part
of producing the satisfying entertainment experience as visual stimulation. Avatar:
The Way of Water becomes Avatar rerun, except it changes its stage
setting to underwater and adds green to the coloration of a tribe with
different life ways. Once one has seen Avatar, the second showing seems
superficial. The animation? Off the charts. The presentation, acting, and
portrayal are good. If the audience is as interested in technological
improvement as much as a Hollywood insider, then this movie may work. Know that editing cuts were not well done and
the film becomes an overwhelmingly long watch.

making the film possible. Cast includes: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, and Edie Falco.
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. The movie works well as an immersive
artistic presentation, but the story works superficially and takes a 3.2 hour
time investment to complete.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish—creative and original—easily earns its watch. WOW!
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. is
a WONDERFUL film that captivates with its nostalgic presentation, great acting,

Moura, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and Anthony Mendez.
The Old Way—surprising story with an unexpected conclusion—becomes one of those ‘don’t
judge the movie from its poster’ films. It serves the needs of the western
genre audience quite well, has a fresh storyline despite adherence to the traditional
revenge story of the western. Nicolas Cage does his part well.

western movie expectations at the fair to good level.
The Pez Outlaw—unusual documentary—tells a good, well-put-together story of
Steve Glew, the USA Pez collector and seller. The movie is slightly reminiscent
of two other unusual documentaries, Burt’s Buzz and the Bio-Pic American Splendor.
Read a plotline before going to increase background story understanding before
watching. The interviews are great and the movie earns its watch as a nice
change of pace.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This film especially appeals to the
entrepreneurial audience. It’s interesting to see how Steve Glew becomes a collector and a seller for Pez collectible products in
the USA. Good
story and great work for all involved in
production.
T The Fabelmans—WOW!—watch is like the feeling of going to Disneyland
for the first time. Everything is a wonder due to the way the story has been compiled.
The movie bases itself on the events of Steven Spielberg’s early years but uses
the moniker of Sam Fabelman and family to tell its story. This movie is a
winner for movie enthusiasts, aspiring directors, critics, and more. Don’t miss
it.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes, and YES! This movie could be easy to miss if a person relies
on plotline alone to determine attendance. Don’t miss it and after watching
think more deeply about the story than a superficial judgement. This again
proves the outstanding value of doing what you are meant to do. It’s another
work of art directed by Steven
Spielberg. The story stands the test of time and will stand as a classic watch
for many years to come.
Fabulous work for all involved.
Jerry and Marge Go Large—based on a true story—can sometimes dip in quality
when some story elements are repetitively shown. This creates a bit of a
standstill but the movie still holds interest throughout the film. It’s a sweet
movie that plays high on the human factor.
Thank you to Director David Frankel for directing effort.
Thank you to Producers Amy Baer and Gil Netter for making the film possible.
Cast includes: Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening.
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This down-to-earth movie is an interesting film starring Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening. It’s a
good family share movie that focuses on real life challenges in a small-town
setting with strong family relationships and good, build-the-community values.
Moonfall—intriguing with a highend concept—has good special effects, okay to
good acting, and a suitable presentation. It is not well-written but suitable
and has a few perks at certain junctures of its story. Some parts of the story
were not thought through well. Look for Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, John
Bradley, Michael Peña, Charlie Plummer, and a nice cameo of Donald Sutherland.
