Directed by: Scott Cooper Starring: Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, Benedict Cumberbatch There’s never any question about it in the film… Jimmy “Whitey” Bulger chose every step of his own path.

Directed by: M. Night Shyamalan Starring: Olivia DeJonge, Ed Oxenbould, Deanna Dunagan, Peter McRobbie, and Kathryn Hahn There is no question. Lots of folks are eyeballing this opening to see what color smoke is going to come out of the chimney, er oven.

Starring Jake Johnson, Rosemarie DeWitt, Sam Rockwell, Orlando Bloom, and Brie Larson. It’s interesting how life creeps up on you. You’re moving along in the normal day to day, and then something pops up and is just there that makes you realize what you might be missing… or missing out on. That’s what this film is … More Review: Digging for Fire… without much spark.
Starring Owen Wilson, Lake Bell, Pierce Brosnan I have a fair understanding of global travel and the expat world. As the world continues to shrink, to be sent on an assignment in a foreign country for work is not an unusual situation. Asia is a popular destination as global multi-nationals extend their reach, and No Escape sets up the main characters … More Review: No Escape … A roller coaster for sure, but not the fun kind.
I wonder. I think I have a bit of attention deficit when it comes to binge watching. I’ll get into a new show and really like it and then … pow. All of a sudden it’s like sensory overload. Can’t watch that one… for a while! I need to cleanse my palette, so to speak, … More New Discovery: Vexed (Netflix)
Much anticipated, much talked about, even much maligned. If you haven’t heard, this show is the companion series to AMC’s The Walking Dead; a post apocalyptic world where the dead prey on the living. Yes, they are zombies, but the “z” word never is used. Walkers, Biters, Roamers… now the Infected. It’s not about them … More Review: Fear the Walking Dead (Pilot)
Starring: Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Christina Hendricks Dark Places… heard of it? This film was not even on my radar, though it seems like it should have been.

Starring: Norman Reedus, Djimon Hounsou, Sandrine Holt This is the first feature from Robert Kirkman’s Skybound entertainment. You may have heard of Kirkman before. He’s the creator of the comic book series that little AMC show is based on (along with writer and Executive Producer)…. The Walking Dead? I’m a big fan of TWD, so I … More REVIEW: Air (Limited Release)
It’s true. I do have a confession to make. Earlier this summer I sat in a fan convention panel and listened to 5 different actors talk about their experiences on the show, Lost. I, myself, was a little “lost”. My confession is that while I did watch the show when it aired, I got kind … More Confessions of a Binge Watcher: LOST – Life Lessons Learned
