STARS & STRIPES

This Navajo native series, "Dark Winds," exceeded my expectations in every way. I like the writing, directing, and superb acting's out-of-the-box mindset. This is a complete package, just like "Suits," if you haven't seen it. Surprises at the turn of every corner keep me glued to the storyline. Mixing police forensic work with dark magic is an excellent idea. Great stuff.

It's a good movie for a new director.

Instant Holiday Classic,,,Pual Giamatti should be up for Oscar nomination. It is that good of a movie.

It was Ok of a movie. Nothing to drop D over. If you're a men hater, then Barbie 2023 surely will be a treat. This movie is about the gender war between males vs females; it further boasts about "Diversity," but where is Asian Barbie in Barbie Land? Oops. Asians don't count other than Simu Liu (Ken #2) and he is no Barbie unless Ken #2 had a sex change. If men are so dominating, then how did Barbie's female director Greta Gerwig succeed? Can I say Woke?

I saw it Sunday night. The Eternals is a masterpiece of filmmaking. I had a low expectation going in to see the film because the reviews are mixed. Instead, what I saw was an absolute delight. If you are Ironman or Captain America, an Avengers fan, looking for more of the same formula movie, you will be disappointed. This is not a cut and pastes MCU superheroes repeat. Eternals is a Marvel CMU film that breaks ranks with the past superheroes. Courageously charting MCU a new path of transformation. Even most ardent Marvel fans are little superhero fatigue. Disney is looking for new fresh thinking. Eternals is not a perfect film but has boldly gone where no other MCU film has gone before. this film should be seen as a work in progress, I believe the best is yet to come. Eternals just pass $71 million in its domestic debut right behind Shang Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings. That tells me, Marvel Studio made a great choice picking Chole Zhao to captain this breakout movie.
