Rating: Unrated Stars: Matthew Tompkins, Arnold Vosloo, Michael Ironside, Arianne Martin, Damon Carney, Hayden Tweedie, James Cable Writer: Jon Keeyes Director: Jon Keeyes Distributor: Film Mode Entertainment Release Date: December 25, 2018  THE HARROWING plays with our sense of reality. Director/writer Jon Keeyes manages to keep us guessing all the way through as to what’s really happening: a supernatural event or a psychotic break. Vice detective Ryan Calhoun (Matthew Tompkins) and his partner Jack Myers (Damon Carney) are clearly good at their jobs. An opening sequence displays their willingness to go to some pretty dark places when they’re undercover. Then […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell, Jesse Plemons, Alfred Molina, Alison Pill, Lily Rabe Writer: Adam McKay Director: Adam McKay Distributor: Annapurna Release Date: December 25, 2018 VICE is writer/director Adam McKay’s biodrama about former U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney. Cheney is played here by Christian Bale, giving a terrific performance in some bravura makeup by Greg Cannom. There’s no arguing with Bale’s work as the quiet, shrewd, manipulative figure, who managed to stay very private even at his most public. The film takes Cheney from a young man in 1963 (about the only point where […]Read On »

Stars: Evanna Lynch, Bobby Bones, Milo Manheim, Alexis Ren. Network: ABC, airs Monday Original Telecast: November 19th, 2018 I thought the biggest shocker of the DANCING WITH THE STARS: Season 27 was the waaaaaay too early elimination of Juan Pablo Di Pace & Cheryl Burke. I was wrong. The biggest shocker is audience favorite and lowest scoring competitors Bobby Bones & Sharna Burgess winning!!! Huh? They like him, they really, really, REALLY like him. And so the show becomes more about popularity than talent more so than ever with Bones’ win. Yes, he is no where near the best dancer, […]Read On »

Stars: Evanna Lynch, Bobby Bones, Milo Manheim, Joe Amabile, Juan Pablo Di Pace, Alexis Ren. Network: ABC, airs Monday Original Telecast: November 12th, 2018 In all the 27 seasons of DANCING WITH THE STARS this is perhaps the worst premature elimination I have ever seen. I am speechless. Possibly one of the greatest performers to ever hit that stage Juan Pablo Di Pace & Cheryl Burke were unjustly eliminated while on the opposite side of the fence Joe Amiable & Jenna Johnson were rightly eliminated. Not only did Di Pace & Burke receive two perfect scores for the night, but […]Read On »
