Sacramento: A Tale of Change and Growth | KeithLovesMovies
•
Growing up can be hard. There’s no way around it; the journey from young to old, naive to wise, and irresponsible to responsible has bumps in the road for all of us. For some people, the process is thrust upon them, and others avoid it like the plague, but it’s a journey we all must…

Queen of the Ring: A Frustratingly Straightforward Sports Biopic | KeithLovesMovies
•
There’s a particular balance that biopics have to strike. On the one hand, major points in their subject’s life need to be covered in order to be complete, and, on the other hand, the story needs to be told from a unique perspective in order to be dynamic and engaging in a way that…

‘O’Dessa’ Hits a Flat Note | Exclaim!
•
There’s nothing more exciting in film than a big, ambitious swing for the fences.

The…

Two-Minute Warning | The LAMBCast
•
The March Movie of the Month is an exploitation thriller that doubles as a disaster film. If there are consistent threads in the 70s wave of disaster pictures it was that Irwin Allen Produced them or Charlton Heston starred in them. The outsized producer is absent this week but we do get Moses on…

Movie Review: “The Electric State” In A State Of Disrepair | ForReel
•
Where even to begin with The Electric State? The latest film from the Russo Brothers features an all star cast and is set in a 1990s-influenced retro future full of pop culture references, but fails at almost every turn to be anything interesting at all. Let’s not mince words here, The Electric State is a…

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Two coworkers, one a little uptight and by the book and the other perhaps a little too loose for their own good, have their fates and jobs intertwined by happenstance. Then, hilarity—with a dash of honesty and vulnerability—ensues. This is the tried-and-true setup of Small Achievable Goals, a…

We’ve seen many films with protagonists haunted by their trauma and soldiers struggling to return home before; what sets My Dead Friend Zoeapart is its performances, specifically Sonequa Martin-Green’s.

Sebastian Stan Stands Out, Adam Pearson Wins Audiences Over In “A Different Man” | ForReel
•
…This first layer of the story is fascinating, with Stan playing Edwrard playing Guy playing Edward, and crushing it. He threads a precise needle with this performance in which he is very visibly still the same man he was but can project confidence while never letting anyone know whom he was before –even going…

Win or Lose Season 1 Episode 1-4 Review | KeithLovesMovies
•
It’s hard to believe that Disney+ is now five years old, and it has yet to feature a series from Pixar. Films are both short and feature-length, yes, but while effectively every other branch of the Disney empire has branched out into streaming series, Pixar has taken the longest to arrive.
