The Equalizer (2014) – Antoine Fuqua
Denzel Washington stars as Robert McCall in this update of the iconic 80s television series starting Edward Woodward. Fuqua has proven consistently that he is a strong director and this film is no exception. The only real problem I have with this film is that there is a whole angle missing from this film;…
Die Nibelungen: Siegfried and Kriemhild’s Revenge (1924) – Fritz Lang
I knew going into this next recommendation from the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book for my viewing of Intolerance that I would love it. Fritz Lang directed it, and helped adapt it to the screen, basing it on the epic German poem of the same name; and I loved his Metropolis,…
In Your Eyes (2015) – Brin Hill
I’m a bit of a hopeless romantic and a sap, and, honestly, I ate this one up. It made me laugh, get a little weepy and made me smile. It works. And I probably wouldn’t have even given it a look if it hadn’t been written by Joss Whedon. Apparently it was one of…

I’ve previously reviewed the original film and its first sequel, Bride of,…

The Pinkertons S01E02 -Double Shot
Adam Moore’s and Kevin Abrams’ Wild West mystery series continues this week with its second episode. The series is still setting its tone and pacing, and maybe I’ve been watching too many mystery shows lately, but this one was easily resolved. On the upside, there is some nice character development and back story for…
