Make no mistake. Wonder Woman was real. Forget about Wakanda (the fictional kingdom from Marvel’s Black Panther). The historically accurate world of The Woman King is the African super heroic universe you really want to visit. Viola Davis (Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Fences, 2016) portrays General Nanisca, the mighty leader of an all-female army […]
An array of films based on true stories is opening in movie theaters this month. Medieval is not the best of the bunch. It’s a picture that’s short on any memorable dialogue and devoid of great acting. Even the usually wonderful Ben Foster and always sensational Matthew Goode (Watch The Offer on Paramount+, if you […]
Film director/playwright Florian Zeller is back on the big screen with a bang – with The Son, a follow-up to his Academy Award winning tour de force, The Father. The Father brought Sir Anthony Hopkins his second Best Actor Oscar as a man living with Alzheimer’s and recognized Zeller (and co-screenwriter Christopher Hampton) with Best […]

If watching “Little Britain” while on an LSD trip sounds like something you’d enjoy, then “Men” is the movie for you, without the LSD. It is the most bizarre, utterly incomprehensible movie since “Eraserhead”. But, like “Eraserhead,” it hooks you in the moment it begins and doesn’t let up until the end. “Men” is written […]

By Tim Nasson 2021 was the Wild West when it came to movies made for theaters. Many big studio movies (including the entire WB 2021 slate of films) debuted their titles Day-and Date (in theaters and streaming the same day). Some studios, including the biggest, Disney (as with their Pixar film Luca), debuted their fare […]

Universal’s You Should Have Left is the latest movie to bypass movie theaters and debut via streaming, (following the likes of Trolls: World Tour, The King of Staten Island, Artemis Fowl, The High Note, the Valley Girl remake, The Lovebirds, to name a few). You Should Have Left is definitely not the type of movie that that loses […]
by Tim Nasson: There has been so much faux outrage over white actors impersonating black actors (Jimmy Fallon as Chris Rock), and incredibly talented white actors (Matt Lucas, David Walliams, Chris Lilley) creating and playing hilarious non-white characters (Little Britain, Come Fly With Me, Angry Boys, Jonah From Tonga, Lunatics, and more) and – unnecessarily having […]
“A Fall From Grace” marks several firsts for Atlanta-based entertainment mogul Tyler Perry. It’s his first feature film for Netflix, his first psychological thriller, and also the prolific writer-actor-director-producer’s first film since wrapping up the Medea series of ten big screen films which, combined, earned more than half a billion dollars at the box office. […]

By Tim Nasson It’s said truth is stranger than fiction. In Just Mercy, a new film starring Oscar winner Jamie Foxx (Ray), truth is scarier than fiction. Just Mercy tells the true story of Walter McMillan, an African American man unfairly convicted of murdering an 18-year-old white girl in 1980s Alabama and sentenced to death. […]

1917 is a remarkable film that allows moviegoers to experience, virtually firsthand, one day in the life of a soldier during the First World War. The plot involves two young British soldiers, Lance Corporal Schofield (George MacKay) and Lance Corporal Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman), who are given an important but seemingly impossible mission: deliver a message […]
Last week I prematurely proclaimed that Charlie’s Angels, the reboot, was the worst major studio release of 2019. I have to take that back since, currently, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood earns that distinction. There are still a handful of 2019 major releases that I have yet to see, and there is a chance, […]
The target audience for Disney’s Frozen 2 is all of the girls who saw and loved the first film in 2013, and since, be it in theaters, on DVD, HBO or Disney+. And there are tens of millions around the world. I am certainly not part of that audience. Frozen 2 is going to make a […]
Charlie’s Angels is a brand that, at one point, was not laughable. It all began in 1976 with a TV show that turned Farrah Fawcett (Angel Jill Monroe) into a superstar. In 2000, the Angels were reborn and this time onto the big screen. I flew from Boston to Los Angeles to interview the entire cast […]
I hate car racing movies. At least I thought I did until I saw Ford v Ferrari, one of the better films of 2019. Starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, the film is more of a narrative featuring Oscar worthy performances by both Damon and Bale, especially Bale, than a racing movie. The movie, directed just as wonderfully […]
