Indy



I've been a fan of the series since it came out, and a bigger Spielberg & Lucas fan. It's good to see them invigorating the series. I know I'll be taking my boys.

Megan (2022)

The film Megan is a sci-fi/horror film with a lot of dark humor, which makes the movie so interesting to watch.  I had to say this was not on my radar to see.  I thought maybe one day on cable or streaming, but my youngest wanted to see it and so I was game.  I'm glad I did see this and I was pleasantly surprised how good it was.  I should also say seeing this at he movies was a treat.  The direction, the cinematography, and the whole feel of the film gave me an appreciation of this film that I would not have gotten otherwise. To label this a horror film would be a mistake.  It has horror elements in it but it's science fiction more than anything else with a dash of horror.  I do like that the film takes the old Frankenstein myth and updates it to the digital era.  I think because of this the film is a better for it.  The graphic violence is played off screen which works.  If you're a gore hound you will be disappointed, but it does not ...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

Lee (2024)

Lee is a movie about the combat photographer Elizabeth Lee Miller  a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II.  It's a fascinating journey told in flashback as she is interviewed by someone about her career and her times in Europe.  It's an extremely interesting journey and one that you'll find fascinating.  How Lee dealt with sexism, and being a women n a male dominated profession.  The film is shot as though it were shot during the late 40's in color using the stocks they had in the 40"s.  The Germans shot in Agfa color while the American's shot in Kodachrome, but in the film Lee is shooting Black and white stills since that was the prevalent stock of the day. Yet the photography of the film feels like post war Agfa film stock   The film was directed by Ellen Kuras who is a cinematographer of some noted films such as "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", my favorite "Summer of Sam", ...
