If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why? Growing up, we all had our cinematic idols. For me, it was Clarice from “Silence of the Lambs” – smart, courageous, and always hearing the metaphorical lamb’s cry. But as life unfolds, […]
Glass Onion is the second time I go to the movie theatre in a rather long time. There are a number of reasons for that, including a pandemic but also I tend to prefer the movie theatre in Los Angeles. The horror! I said something bad about my […]

I’m not going to lie to you. I was prepared to hate it. Well, hate is a strong word I don’t much care for. Look, I don’t hate many films. I used to. But I have mellowed a bit and can usually find at least one redeeming factor […]
