Life of the Party – She Deserves Better

Boy, I really think Melissa McCarthy needs to rethink her roles and come up with something new and refreshing. What has happened to the dynamic funny woman who stole the movies and was remembered as the best thing in them. She has, unfortunately, become a pigeon-holed comedian stuck in movies not worth her talent. I […]

The Book Club – Pointless

I was glad I saw this on the plane – bigger than normal screen, but had I paid for this movie – I would not have been happy. It really is a shame as the talent behind and in front of the camera could have really made something from this movie. My biggest gripe is […]

Won’t You Be My Neighbor – Fondest Memories

I saw the documentary, Won’t You Be My Neighbor, and I must say it was a wonderful experience, just like my memories of his show growing up. I even watched it into my teen years, there was something so simple and kind about everything that was done on the show. I was surprised to see […]

Blackkklansman – Tough but Well Done!!

I saw Spike Lee’s “Blackkklansman” on Sunday evening, and it has taken me a bit of time to digest. Yes, this is one movie I think every human being should see, but also it will not change many minds, unfortunately. So, I am going to focus on the movie itself. I really liked it. I […]

East Meets West – “What Will People Say”

Boy was this a tough movie to watch, but I also think very important, especially in our current climate. As a Westerner it was really difficult to watch what is culturally acceptable in an Eastern culture, but not necessarily so in the West.  This being said – the story does take place in the West, […]

Swimming with Men – Just Fun

The film, Swimming with Men, is not a great movie nor will it change the face of cinema, but it will give you 90 minutes of enjoyment. You will also laugh, get a little sentimental and forget your troubles. It was just what was needed after a stressful day of work. BTW, this was seen […]

Cosmos Discovery – Brno, Czech Republic

I have been asked to take a look at this exhibition in Brno, and while it is not my usual exhibition to visit, I have to say I was rather impressed. First off, it is a stunning architectual important building. The building is in the expo-center in Brno. The building was completed in 1959 and […]

To Exhibit or Not to Exhibit

This is a question that has absolutely NO answers. I am bringing this up to begin a rational debate about how a not/non-profit gallery/museum/exhibition space can satisfy everyone and keep income flowing. It is hard enough in our politically correct world today to keep everyone happy. Is there a line, which should never be crossed, […]

Incredibles 2 – In the Minority

Well, I am in Budapest working, and it is my thing to see movies while traveling. I saw Incredibles 2 last night, and I have to say I was rather disappointed. The disappoint comes from, I think, being bombarded with way too many super hero movies over the last few years. We have had so […]
