“Four words appear at the end of the film: spirituality, humanity, care, and the principles of love. For me, this short film bravely captures these four elements in a symbiotic relationship to each other while wonderfully highlighting the solo work of the brief moment of each artist.”

Despite the fatalities and flawless victories, Mortal Kombat can’t justify being a passive observer of the movie when you can be an active player in the game.

“Raya and the Last Dragon has some elements that are very similar to previous Disney animated entries, but it has strong themes of overcoming division and learning to trust others that are surprisingly timely without being preachy.”

“The Little Things features an impressive cast that elevates an unimpressive story that is a waste of Denzel’s talents.”

“Sound of Metal offers a unique look into a deaf community and it features several commendable performances, none more so than Riz Ahmed in the lead. It’s a technically impressive and immersive experience in the sound department too.”

“It’s been 14 years, but Baron Cohen is still able to shock with his characters, the uncomfortable situations he puts people into, and his willingness to let people say the cringiest things.”

Released in late 2019, Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice was shown in theatres. It’s now available to stream and purchase on physical media as well. It’s very touching to hear her in her own words, and how humble she is, even having been one of the biggest superstars in the world, while some of the world’s other biggest superstars have nothing but glowing accolades and the utmost respect for her.
