They might need a new travel agent on this one. You might think that “Midwinter Break” would have a “Before Sunrise” quality, if it features a man and woman in a European […]
Midwinter Break
I Can Only Imagine 2
A faith-based sequel that has more cliches than spirits. I know I sound like a broken record, but the reason I didn’t review the Christian music biopic “I Can Only Imagine” back […]
How to Make a Killing

Islands
A drama that doesn’t deserve to be lonely on vacation. “Islands” is a low key drama with more questions than answers. I thought I was the only person to acknowledge that until […]
