Movie Review: ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’
I’ve never seen 1997’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer” all the way through. Eleven-year-old me was too young to see the R-rated slasher in theaters, which was just as well because I did see a trailer and lost many nights’ sleep over the killer’s deadly fishing hook. I eventually got caught up via […]

Movie Review: ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’
The “First Steps” part of the title of the new “Fantastic Four” movie is misleading. We don’t see the superhero quartet take their first steps, not as changed individuals and not as a team. The movie takes place four years after a space anomaly altered the DNA of astronauts Reed “Mister Fantastic” Richards (Pedro Pascal), […]

Movie Review: ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’
After three “Jurassic Park” movies and three “Jurassic World” movies, it seems the time has come to kickstart the “Jurassic” franchise again with “Jurassic World: Rebirth.” I’ll give the franchise credit for recognizing that there was no need to continue with the Chris Pratt or Bryce Dallas Howard characters from the last three movies, who […]

Karma reminds us to forgive and offer grace
Karma. I led a discussion a few months ago about the concept of karma. Most participants viewed karma as real and initially considered it a negative concept. The idea that when we harm, we get that action back in spades. The concept of karma is about exerting power and control. It helps us feel justified […]

Movie Review: ‘F1: The Movie’
“F1: The Movie” takes viewers inside the exciting world of Formula One auto racing. The director is Joseph Kosinski, best known for taking “Top Gun: Maverick” to the top of the yearly box office three years ago. Between that movie’s jets and this movie’s cars, it seems the man’s specialty is directing movies about things […]
