Movie Review: The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)

The Democratic National Convention met in Chicago in August 1968 to choose their presidential candidate in a tumultuous year that saw the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, the passage of the Civil Rights Act, Prague Spring, and growing protests in cities around the world against the escalation of the Vietnam War.

Movie Review: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

Zoë Kravitz’s (“Rough Night”) character in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Leta Lestrange, tells the franchise’s bashful hero, Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne, “The Danish Girl”), “You never met a monster you couldn’t love.” The line is actually quite interchangeable with the film itself.

The leads are more than adequate; they own the roles of Hawking and his…

Jupiter is the “One.” Maybe not in quite the way Neo was the “One” in the Wachowski’s “Matrix” series, but she is definitely a game changer in the Wachowski’s upcoming science fiction action movie Jupiter Ascending. And like in “The Matrix” what she can become frightens those in power. It’s got all the makings of…
