An Irish farm thriller ewe may like (if ewe overcome the violence). Last year, I’ve delivered my praises to three Irish dramas, which didn’t really connect with audiences the way they should […]
Bring Them Down
Love Me
The story of buoy meets satellite isn’t all that romantic. I saw “Love Me” virtually from the Sundance Film Festival last year, and it was one of the few films I didn’t […]

A WWII drama with plenty of stamps. I apologize to my loyal readers for the delay in my review of “The Six Triple Eight,” but the holidays have been too busy for […]
The Fire Inside
Ryan Destiny sure packs a punch as Claressa Shield. I have two movies distributed by MGM and Amazon this season about two kinds of fighters. There’s “The Fire Inside,” which is about […]
