I can tell it’s not a very good liar. The set-up for “Dangerous Lies” has a young cash-strapped couple, who find themselves inheriting a fortune and dealing with dangerous people along the […]
Dangerous Lies
Cotton Club, 1900, Night Moves, MacBeth, Marvin Gardens, and Miami Blues
Polanksi, De Niro, Coppola, Baldwin, Nicholson, and Hackman-all part of some past selections. A friend of mine has loaned me some of his DVDs from his collection, and given our Coronavirus nightmare […]
The Hunt
A cinematic hate letter to our country. At a time when the Coronavirus is attacking the world, and plaguing its people and the movie industry, Universal Pictures has found the audacity to […]

Bad Boys for Life
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence star in the best of the three films. This past decade we were given a number of sequels that took about a decade or two to come […]
