The filmed recording of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway extravaganza is total joy! As you all know, movie theaters and Broadway theaters have temporarily been closed, because of the COVID-19 outbreak. But just in […]

The Outpost
The exact opposite of “13 Hours,” and that’s the way I like it. “The Outpost” is a modern war movie, which takes place during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) from 2001 to 2014. […]
The Truth

All work and no play makes Shirley a crazy girl. When you see the name “Shirley” as the movie’s title, don’t expect it to be about Shirley Temple, Shirley Jones, or Shirley […]
