I’m a Toys “R” Us kid with this movie. When we see Channing Tatum robbing a McDonalds and suggesting that the franchise never notice some missing money, it relaxes me because I […]
Roofman
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey
It’s beautiful, but not big or bold enough. As I begin to watch “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,” I see Colin Farrell as David finding out his car has been booted, and […]
Love, Brooklyn
Andre Holland uses his canvas wisely, even if he needs to figure out his passion piece. Andre Holland played an artist in last year’s Sundance entry “Exhibiting Forgiveness,” and this year, in […]

Juliet & Romeo

A nice gay romance between Dopinder and Kristoff. In recent memory, we have gotten some delightful gay romcoms like “Bros” and “Red, White & Royal Blue,” and “A Nice Indian Boy” is […]
