Approved | 1h 36min | Crime, drama | 10 April 1957 As someone who was never impressed by courtroom dramas in films or on TV during his younger years, it’s taken me awhile to warm up to them. Perhaps this has to do with the fact that a close relative used to binge-watch Perry Mason…

Film Review: ‘Munich – The Edge of War’: Brainly and Suspenseful
If we let the CCP blatantly violate the Sino-British Joint Declaration, openly turn Hong Kong into a police state, and engage in hostile militarism throughout the South China Sea, maybe they will be satisfied and start acting nice. After all, appeasement was a smashing success when Hitler was given the Sudetenland, right? Actually, it was…
Film Review: ‘The Hidden Life of Trees’: The Science of the Ents
PG | 1h 41m | Documentary | November 2, 2021- United States| Based on German conservationist and author Peter Wohlleben’s 2015 bestselling book of the same title, the slow-paced but info-packed “The Hidden Life of Trees” very quickly makes one thing abundantly clear: J.R.R.

Popcorn and Inspiration: ‘Pete’s Dragon’: Disney Made a Good Dragon Movie
PG | 1 hours, 42 minutes | Adventure, Family, Fantasy | 12 August 2016 (USA) What’s a real dragon look like? Maybe a mash-up of children’s favorite animals? Like part dog, with a big sniffle-snuffle, rubbery nose? If it’s a forest dragon, it might be a tad greenish. Maybe there’s some panther in its jaw line…

Rewind, Review, and Re-Rate: ‘The Heiress’: Romantic Drama Avoids the Sentimental
Not Rated | 1h 55min | Drama, Romance | 28 December 1948 Director William Wyler is widely acknowledged to be second only to John Ford in terms of significance. However, I’d almost give him a slight edge since he not only made two of my favorite films of all time—“The Best Years of Our Lives”…
JV Hart, the Artistic Icon Behind Some of the Nation’s Most Beloved Family Films
James Von Allmen Hart, lovingly referred to as “JV” by his family and protégés, is the creative force behind several of our nation’s most prominent family films, including “Hook,” “Tuck Everlasting,” “Dracula,” and “August Rush.” Well before he began his career as a Hollywood screenwriter, he grew up on drive-in movies and Saturday matinees in…
Rewind, Review, and Re-Rate: ’Draft Day’: A Dude-Flick for the Hardcore Sports Fan
PG-13 | 1h 50m | Sports, Drama | April 7, 2014 The NFL Draft—it hypes American football like the Oscars hype movies. Public picking of players for pro ball makes money. “Draft Day” is an infomercial for the NFL, of course. It’s big hype. We know this because Roger Goodell has a speaking role. Enough…

Although it has never fully gone away, there was a point when black and white cinematography fell out of favor, not only with audiences, but also the studios producing and marketing feature films. Contrary to popular belief, the advent of color didn’t show up in 1939 with “Gone with the Wind” and “The Wizard of…
