The 355 Better than "Charlie's Angels," but not by much.
|
Black Adam The comedic elements add nothing to an otherwise solidly produced, smartly cast, and acted film.
|
Wakanda Forever Again, this very predictable sequel is a White-man's version of a Black superhero. |
Blacklight Yet another extremely predictable action film with color-by-number acting of Liam Neeson. Neeson's superior talent is wasted. |
Death on the Nile Another solidly produced, beautifully shot and directed film by Kenneth Branagh, and with great ensemble acting too!
|
|||||
Multiverse of Madness The MCU doesn't know what the f**k it's doing. Film is a convoluted mess.
|
Stupid script. |
Adam Project Cute, very predictable, but this is a "TV" movie, and not worthy of a theatrical release.
|
Review coming soon.

Amsterdam Excellent cast, sets, and art direction, but writer, director, and co-producer David O. Russell's big mistakes was to write a pseudo-murder mystery "black comedy," because film would have been much greater as a docu-drama. |
The Way of Water Extremely predictable. Boring. Lousy script offered nothing new.
|
Babylon Story of early "Hollywood" does not rise to the level of The Carpetbaggers, Harlow, or The Bad and the Beautiful, but sharp editing with Brad Pitt's charismatic performance and over-the-top acting by Margot Robbie make this predictable script watchable.
|
Stupid script. Lousy acting. Lousy direction. You'll cheer for the lion to kill everyone, especially the two dumb and very whiny teenage girls!
|
Bullet Train Inventive. Full of plot twists and turns. Sharp editing, special effects, and great cameos.
|
|||||
Day Shift Poorly written script about vampires failed to decide if film is camp or serious. Snoop Dogg should have been cast in the lead role instead of Foxx.
|
DC League of Super-Pets Great script that's inventive, funny. Great animation with crisp direction and editing. DC's roster of animated films are consistently better than the "live" action films.
|
Review coming soon.
|
Devotion Unfortunately, this is a highly formulaic bio-drama about first Black pilot in the U.S. Navy that, as expected, reveals less about "the man," but gives greater focus to "quietly" address racism.
|
Downton Abbey An excellent continuation of the television series and the previous film.
|
|||||
Elvis An exceptionally well-made film in all aspects. Austin Butler as Elvis is fantastic!
|
Will Smith's beleaguered performance in this monochrome film offers absolutely nothing entertaining, provocative, or educational about the enslavement of "niggers."
|
Review coming soon.

The original
|
Poorly scripted, slowly paced film accurately reflects the disingenuous and overtly narcissistic nature of many Black pastors.
|
Hustle Script is weak, and film's pacing is too slow, but this is Adam Sandler's best dramatic role thus far.
|
|||||
Interceptor The script, direction, and acting of Elsa Pataky failed to make her believable in the lead role as a "kick ass" military officer.
|
Review coming soon.
|
Is That Black Enough For You? This "history lesson" on Black films should be "required" viewing for EVERYONE!
|
jackass forever The jokes are just dumb and physically very painful, BUT funny.
|
Jerry & Marge Go Large Based on a true |

|
|
A Man Called Otto Story trivializes the statistical reality of male suicide, but as always, Tom Hanks is GREAT!
|
|||||
Marlowe This "Marlowe" is not Dick Powell, Humphrey Bogart, or Robert Mitchum, and film lacks a critical intensity, an edge, but Liam Neeson shines in this nicely produced film.
|
The Menu The "menu" is horrific killing, not food; and the food is mediocre. For better food-as-horror, see The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover. For the absolute best in food preparation see, "Babette's Feast."
|
|
|
The original TV show is infinitely better. Film is not interesting or funny.
|
|||||
Stupid script, very slow paced sci-fi film about a flying alien monster doesn't deliver. Michael Wincott as a renowned cinematographer steals the show. |
|
|
|
Pinocchio Excellent computer animation, but the 1940 original film is so much better, because it has more charm, fun, innocence, and 17 minutes shorter. Plus, the original didn't have the pretentious DEI-isms Disney deceitfully dumps into its animation. 'Nuff said. |

The Menu Unlike the "Black Panther," this film is based on the true story of African women warriors, lead by a strong-as-usual performance by Viola Davis.

Films Released in 2022 starring Bruce Willis In March 2022, Willis's family announced that he was retiring after being diagnosed with aphasia, which affects language cognition. Films featuring Willis have grossed between US$2.64 billion and $3.05 billion at North American box offices, making him in 2010 the eighth-highest-grossing actor in a leading role. As his swan song, a large body of his work was released in 2022. |

|
Corrective Measures Based on the graphic novel by Grant Chastain, film is engaging performance by Willis, and an over-the-top performance by Michael Rooker and a strong cast.
|
Detective Knight Redemption The script, direction, editing, pacing, and Willis appear lethargic; film should have been "re-imagined" to function as entertainment.
