https://youtu.be/ye63hQLDj4k 7/10 Not to be confused with a full length adaptation of the hit song from the musical “Cats” or a movie about what Joe Biden has lost for several years now, “Memory” follows an assassin tasked with carrying out a few hits but backs out when one of the people he is supposed to … Continue reading #54 Film in 2022: Memory

https://youtu.be/D7XT9OWifHs 6.5/10 Based on the true story of a young soldier’s gay love affair with an officer fighter pilot on a Soviet Air Force Base during the height of the Cold War, “Firebird” is well made and acted but lacks passion and has a rushed first act. Most gay or lesbian films today (especially historical … Continue reading #53 Film in 2022: Firebird

https://youtu.be/5c69MN8qpEI 7.5/10 I have a rule when it comes to political documentaries. If the film is made by someone right wing, as this film is, then folks on the left should truly be the ones to see this.

While there are … Continue reading #50 Film in 2022: The Bad Guys

https://youtu.be/nfKO9rYDmE8 2.5/10 In 1984 Robert Zemeckis directed a film called “Romancing the Stone” with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. Directors Aaron and Adam Nee and the other two screenwriters who “wrote” this garbage must have watched that highly superior film, gotten high and decided to rip it off with something much worse for modern audiences. … Continue reading #49 Film in 2022: The Lost City

https://youtu.be/G5kzUpWAusI 0/10 While the first “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie was definitely bad (I gave it a 3.5/10), it holds a special place in my heart. Once movie theaters shut down in 2020, I waited 81 days until two theaters opened in Arizona and “Sonic the Hedgehog” was the first movie I was able to see … Continue reading #48 Film in 2022: Sonic the Hedgehog 2
