  The Housemaid is a sexy thriller laced with dark & paranoia, which comes to a nice and well deserved ending, but along the way watch for those twists and turns that the filmmakers develop.  I thought the movie was treading familiar territory, but there is enough surprises to keep the audie nce guessing.  The film seems simple enough a women wants a Housemaid to help run the house along with her husband ( Brandon Sklenar ) and her daughter ( Indiana Elle ).  The wife is played by Amanda Seyfried and the housemaid is played by Sydney Sweeney  who plays her part flawlessly.  The chemistry between the two leads is dynamic and it sells the movie.  Nina seems a bit spoiled and flawed from what we think we learn in the beginning of the movie.  Millie on the other hand is played as a desperate women who has done bad things in the past & need to succeed.  But what you think that you know turns out to be completely false is the magic of this ...

 Not for Nothing is a indie film with heart.  If feels like Philly and it all takes place in South Philadelphia, which is a strong character in itself.  I've been interested in this film since way back when they were filming it here in. Philly.  I never got a chance to see it when it played here at the Philadelphia film festival, nor did I catch it when it played in some theaters here in Philly, but after many hurtles they found distribution from Buffalo 8 and it is playing on various streaming platforms.  I saw it on Verizon, and it's on Amazon Prime as well.   It's good and if you're from Philly it just feels right.  All the mannerisms, and accents are authentic because it was made by South Philly people.  Some have compared this to Goodfellas, but I'd like to compare it to those serials from the past such as "Our Gang", or "The Bowery Boys".   The story is simple after a girl that our crew knew dies of an overdose our gang tries ...

  Took the family to see The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and for me it was the most anticipated movie of the summer.  I have been a fan since I discovered them when I was in elementary school.  It was comic books that got me interested in reading, and I became a voracious reader.  Always three to four grades ahead of others in school, but it was the Fantastic Four I read voraciously.  Why was this so popular with me?  It was about a family with super powers.  Reed was Mr. Fantastic, Sue was his wife the Invisible girl, and then there was Ben who was the Thing and a friend of Reed's.  To round it out there was Johnny Sue's brother the human torch, and for a kid with an active imagination The Fantastic Four was the ultimate in superhero's.   A family fighting the bad guys who threatened the earth.  Reed the super intelligent scientist, and Sue the powerful invisible girl who could render force fields and withstand attacks from their ...

Took the family to see this & it was my oldest second viewing after he saw it with his buddy and his family.  It is the most anticipated movie to come out this year.  Directed by James Gunn and a film responsible for re-launching the DC universe, so no pressure for DC at all.  Distributed by Warner Brothers " Superman " is a breath of fresh air in an superhero movies. Why you ask?  What makes this film so different then other Superman that have proceeded it?  New cast, new storyline, and it includes other heros who they call meta-humans.  No origin story here.  We all know Superman's origin, so it's not needed.  What Gunn has done is create the ultimate immigrant story in Superman.  Born on another planet but raised in Kansas by his ma & pa.  It takes the familiar feeling of the outsider really being an insider, and not much different then us.   I have to say that I was really upset seeing our hero being beaten up and ...

So the family and I decided to see the new Jurassic World: Rebirth, and a rebirth it is.  I have heard others say that the series has run its course, and it is the same thing over and over again, but I disagree.  The first film astounded us at seeing living dinosaur's & it was fantastic.  Computer technology has made it possible to create these magnificent beasts convincingly.  The technology has only gotten better and the special effects are remarkable in the movie. Having sons I have seen all of these films because what boy doesn't love dinosaurs?  But I know of no child who dislikes the films.  They think it's cool, and it crosses the spectrum of age and gender.  In the latest storyline we have two sets of characters.  One the family who were sailing and are on vacation when their boat is hit by a big prehistoric fish.  The second set of characters are trying to acquire the blood (DNA) of three large dinosaurs that they call sauropods...

  First off I'm a fan of the series, and say what you want about the series it does push the limits of improbability, but then it is mission IMPOSSIBLE!    The latest film is a love letter to the series then & now.  It is also a film which has several stunt set pieces that seem to be the films highlight, and I have no problem with that.   In the latest episode it is a part 2 and finally of the series.  It seems a rogue AI is out to destroy the world and there many people & organizations vying for control of the AI for their own nefarious reasons.   It falls on Ethan Hunt ( Tom Cruise ) to make sure that the AI does not succeed, and how he does this is by tricking it that he works for it.  To say the script has a few high hurdles to achieve is an understatement.  Some succeed while others seem to fall flat, but if taken for what the film is and that's pure entertainment it does work. I did enjoy it and am amazed at some of th...
