RECOMMEND

There hasn’t been a lot of love from reviewers (or the box office) for “Inferno,” but I’m not going to be as rough on this flick. I liked it, with reservations.

“Dunkirk” — A Movie Review by Liz Warner August 6, 2017

“Dunkirk,” written, directed, and co-produced by Christopher Nolan (with Emma Thomas), is the best theatrical release in a long time, premiering on July 13, 2017 in the UK and USA. It has been amply rewarded with an impressive take at the box office and deserves the critical acclaim it has received. As so many films … Continue reading "“Dunkirk” — A Mo […]

Lords of the Awards: Who’s Up for Emmys in 2017? July 17, 2017

It’s that time of year when the Television Academy picks the best from their best of the best on the small screen. No predictions from me; I’m known to not get a true or false question right until the third try, so I’m sure I wouldn’t know. Interesting is just how many nominations went … Continue reading "Lords of the Awards: Who’s Up for Emmys in 201 […]

“Better Call Saul” — Season 3: A Television Review By Liz Warner June 25, 2017

I’ve previously previewed and reviewed the early episodes of Better Call Saul’s Season Three here and here. The season wrapped Monday night, and lived up to my lofty expectations, but beware: spoilers lay ahead if you have yet to view the dark finale, “Lantern.” Jimmy [Bob Odenkirk] and Chuck McGill [Michael McKean] are the … Continue reading "“Better […]

“The Circle” — A Movie Review by Liz Warner May 5, 2017

Techno-thriller “The Circle” gets the techno part down well. It’s the thriller part it lacks. That said, I’m a big fan of the sub-genre and enjoyed this film more than its iffy reviews and disappointing opening weekend box office might suggest. RECOMMENDED: WITH CAVEAT Like almost everything coming out of Hollywood these days, “The Circle” … Continue reading […]

“Mr. Robot” – A Television Review by Liz Warner April 5, 2017

“What’s Mr. Robot?” I wondered aloud. “It’s a TV show about hackers,” was the response. That’s all I needed. A hacker I’m not, but in my world as a writer, hackers can fill the role of hero or villain very nicely. They can save the world or horrify us all as much in a good … Continue reading "“Mr. Robot” – A Television Review by Liz Warner" […]

“Arrival” — A Movie Review by Liz Warner December 14, 2016

“Arrival” — A Movie Review by Liz Warner “Arrival” has largely received very good reviews and was nominated for, or received, awards, but I will be a maverick here. Although I’m a fan of the genre, I didn’t care for this sci-fi flick for the reasons I enumerate below. NOT RECOMMENDED The genesis of … Continue reading "“Arrival” — A Movie Review by Li […]

“Allied” A Movie Review by Liz Warner December 4, 2016

It’s impossible to not compare “Allied” with the award-winning 1943 classic, “Casablanca.” That’s because “Allied” is set in 1942 French Morocco during the African campaign of World War II. The comparison is unfortunate, though, because “Allied” can’t possibly live up to such lofty expectations. Still, it’s a worthwhile film, ably directed by Robert Zemeck […]
