    Monkey Man – A Movie Review

    Dev Patel is an interesting actor to me, especially after his role in The Green Knight. Of course, Jordan Peele makes everything he does fascinating as well.

  • A Haunting In Venice – A Movie Review

    As you may recall, I loved Kenneth Branagh’s first Agatha Christie adaptation, Murder On the Orient Express. Death On the Nile, however … not so much.
