No Time to Die is the final movie with Daniel Craig as James Bond. That fact most definitely affected how I viewed the movie. It is the end of an era and this review is certainly biased because of it. You’ve been warned. The movie begins with a flashback of Madeleine, who you should remember…

I knew of Bourdain of course, and my friend and I discussed his career and famous television series Parts Unknown. His death was made even more curious and (sickeningly) interesting because it was revealed he had…

Pixar has continuously churned out entertaining movies for adults and children alike. Luca is set off the coast of Italy near a town called Portorosso. The main character is obviously and fittingly named Luca (Jacob Tremblay). He is a pre-teen sea “monster” who spends his day shepherding fish for his family. His mother, Daniela (Maya…

No Sudden Move is the latest movie from director Steven Soderbergh and it is a fun one. The film is set in the 1950’s in Detroit and has the old timey crime feel reminiscent of early gangster films. Curt (Don Cheadle) is strapped for cash and looking to leave town. He takes one last job…
