Review: Jungle Cruise, a fun fantasy
Jungle Cruise is finally free to anyone with a Disney+ subscription. So I watched it. The adventure tale was full of magic, fun, fantasy and a terrific Emily Blunt as the woman who made it all happen.

Review: Mary Poppins Returns
Mary Poppins Returns was a disappointment. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t really good either. I expected it to be really good. I’m a sucker for a musical, so I was surprised that this one didn’t make me jump with joy.

Review: Sicario
In the last 3 days, I watched two films directed by Denis Villeneuve. Both have a female protagonist. Both are excellent.

Actors on Actors -UPDATED
Variety has created a series of conversations called “Actors on Actors” that are fascinating discussions between peers. Most of them are a man and a woman. I picked these three to include here because both the conversationalists are women, but don’t overlook the others at Variety Studio: Actors on Actors. The women’s conversations are about […]

Brain Dump: A Wife’s Nightmare, Annie, On My Way, Into the Woods
It’s time for a brain dump. My brain is teeming with thoughts about this and that – mostly movies I watched over the holidays. Short thoughts. Thoughts so short that combining them into one post seems like a grand idea.
