Movies, Music, and Food Through the Lens of Ryan Thompson
Netflix continues its streak with thought-provoking and riveting films with Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7”. Aaron Sorkin has got to be one of the greatest and most interesting screenwriters of Cinema with writing such classics as “The Social Network”, “A Few Good Men”, and what I consider his greatest controversially, “Moneyball”. I […]
Well, it’s been a while. Recently, I have been catching up with a handful of movies on VOD and most of them are kind of underwhelming. I’m talking to both of you, “Never Rarely Sometimes Always” and “First Cow”. I’ve been also reviewing them on YouTube as well. A week ago, I saw one of […]
In a midst of a quarantine, history happened for all of us folks.

However, Blue Sky Studios, a company that is super notorious for making the “Ice Age” franchise, actually […]
Director Clint Eastwood at age eighty-nine does not show retirement nor old age when making one of his best movies in years, “Richard Jewell”, a movie of Eastwood’s that isn’t the film you get from him that often. It is required as a crime to refuse to see this motion picture. Paul Walter Hauser plays […]

Man o’mighty. Documentary-experienced director Alma Har’el perfectly understands the abuse and misfortune of a father in her outstanding debut feature film “Honey Boy”. The […]
It is a reward that we all have Tom Hanks in our lives as the greatest American actor to ever live in this great Earth. “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” is an absolutely strong contender for the best film of 2019 for many, many, MANY reasons. This film is a requirement for all places […]
