Will Smith flies like an eagle with positive messages and good energy. I can’t guarantee a straight forward answer, but I’m pretty sure there is a difference between Will Smith’s recent family […]

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
The force is almost always with us in this finale. I found myself in tears at Carrie Fisher’s final moments as Leia, filmed before her death in 2016, in “Star Wars: The […]
Uncut Gems
Adam Sandler gives his best (serious) performance since “Punch Drunk Love.” I’ve been a fan of Adam Sandler’s comedies like “Big Daddy” and “Happy Gilmore,” and it was a pleasure meeting him […]
