Movie Review: Archive Jul 20, 2020

Show notes

The biggest issue with this robo-drama is the completely unnecessary foul language in its memory bank.

Movie Review: First Cow Jul 17, 2020

Show notes

In new movie First Cow, now streaming online, we meet two guys who don’t fit the profile of adventurous pioneers. Otis Figowitz is a cook for a group of rough and tumble trappers in Oregon in the early 1800s. He’s a quiet, reflective type—in contrast to the boisterous hunters he serves. Otis soon meets an Chinese entrepreneur named King Lu who’s seeking his fortune on the West Coast. Together they form an unlikely friendship and business relationship baking for the group they serve.
Now, about that cow in the movie’s title. There’s exactly one milk cow in the region. And Otis and King Lu must steal its milk to cook for the men who love the food they’re making.
Now, that may not sound like the plot for an edge-of-your-seat action movie. And … it isn’t. There are no explosions or firefights or battling robots here—though we do see a couple of fist fights along the way. Instead, what First Cow offers viewers is a quiet reflection on the virtues of friendship. Some profanities get lobbed about in this PG-13 indie film, but that’s as bad as things ever get here. For those reasons, we’re giving First Cow a three out of five for family friendliness.

Kanye West calls out to God to change us and guide us with His spirit.

Movie Review: Feel the Beat Jul 13, 2020

Show notes

Feel the Beat is a predictable-but-sweet story about the value of self-worth, the need for selflessness and the beauty of family.

Movie Review: Greyhound Jul 10, 2020

Show notes

The new movie Greyhound, now streaming on Apple TV+, stars Tom Hanks as the captain of a Navy destroyer in World War 2. His assignment? Escorting supply ships across the Atlantic to protect them from Germany’s lurking U-boat submarines.
Captain Krause is a man of deep character whose life is marked by faith and prayer. He walks the bridge of his ship until his feet literally bleed. But speaking of blood, we don’t see too much of that in this intense-but-restrained PG-13 war movie. A lone harsh profanity is the worst of it, content-wise. So we’re giving Greyhound a three out of five for family friendliness

TV Review: Space Force Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

It’s all supposed to be funny … but it’s not.
