    “Ford v Ferrari” is a feel-good macho-man movie that is the perfect vehicle for 4DX. From the revving of engines to the swerve into a curve, plus some smoke special effects for the crashes, “Ford v Ferrari” is a family film about how two men took Ford from boringly reliable to a sexy win at […]

  • AFI FEST: Must-Sees, Maybes and More November 16, 2019
    For the Pasadena crowd, that lives in anticipation of every space program moment, there are two movies of interest: “Aeronauts” and “Proxima.” Only one is a must-see. If you’re looking for a thoughtful documentary about thinking, “Oliver Sacks,”  looks at not only what one man achieved, but also how much society has changed. The 2-hour […]

  • ‘Scandalous’ and the Slippery Slope ☆☆☆☆ November 11, 2019
    In these Trumpian times, there can be no better time to reflect on the slippery slopes that bring us to ethical dilemmas. Trump, among other celebrities, is involved in “Scandalous: The Untold Story of the National Enquirer” and that’s not exactly news, but the extent that the National Enquirer was involved in making deals and […]

  • ‘Modern Love’: Inspiring Real Stories ☆☆☆☆ November 11, 2019
    Sometimes you don’t need violence and even sex to make a good story. “Modern Love” illustrates that short films can satisfy and this anthology of eight stories are tender, joyous and sometimes sad.

  • Native American Heritage Month: ‘Angry Inuk’ Are Voices Seldom Heard ☆☆☆☆☆ November 5, 2019
    The documentary “Angry Inuk” is about voices seldom heard but that need to be heard. Watching this changed my mind about seal hunting, solidified my skepticism toward The Humane Society of America and other organizations and made me interested in seal-skin wear.

Taking us back to 1984, the year after Michael Jackson’s 14-minute music video “Thriller” came out […] […]

  • AMC’s ‘The Terror: Infamy’: Fails Due to TMI November 3, 2019
    There are some stories that have been told over and over again, but others that rarely see the light on television or the bid screen. A full mini-series about the Japanese American experience during World War II with a predominately ethnic Asian cast and a male ethnic Asian lead is something Japanese Americans have been […]

    AMC “The Terror: Infamy” is fixing for a family reunion with “My Sweet Boy.” If you missed the last episode, you might think this refers to Chester/Taizo, but in “My Perfect World” (Episode 7), we learned that Yūko Tanabe, younger sister of Asako Nakayama, had two boys.
