Flash Movie Review: Anyone But You
THROUGH THE ENTIRE DINNER, I PRAYED a fight would not break out at my table. Two of the seated guests had dated for a brief time; their relationship ended badly. I was friends with both and heard each of their complaints about the other. There was no way I was going to get in the middle, so stayed neutral without voicing an opinion. Anytime one of them asked me a loaded question, I deflected and answered with a question back at them. This was their battle and there was no reason for me to be a part of it. The hosts for this dinner party did not know the two guests were not on speaking terms. However, most of our table guests knew as we shot side glances at each other whenever the vibe neared a hostile state. Instead of keeping their mouths shut for the sake of the other guests, these two former partners would make snide remarks about the other one, who happened to be seated directly across. I wanted to just tell them to be adults for one evening and not spoil things for the rest of the guests, including the hosts. Some of us tried to ignore this former couple’s antics, but it still was uncomfortable and made eating the meal stressful, as if a ticking timebomb was about to explode in front of us. Once I finished the last course, I excused myself and went to talk to a few friends who were seated at another table. MY EXPERIENCES WITH BEING IN THE same space as an ex were less dramatic. Gratefully, most of the relationships I was in ended amicably; and the ones that did not, attitudes softened as the years went by. The only uncomfortable meeting I had was at a funeral service, of all places. My ex and I were both friends with this person whose mother had died. We both knew we would see each other at the memorial service. When I arrived, they were already in the room. Since this was the first time seeing each other after our rough breakup, I really did not want to have a conversation. It turned out neither did they. I quickly figured out they were watching me because wherever I walked in the room, they would move away to maintain us being on opposite sides of the room. Yes, I know it sounds and probably is ridiculous, but I was fine with it. There was nothing to say to each other and frankly I was there for our mutual friend, to support her in her time of sorrow. Since the service lasted around one hour, it was easily doable. If it was an occasion that would have taken longer, such as the one in this romantic comedy, then it might have been a different story for me. AFTER HAVING A FANTASTIC FIRST NIGHT together, a couple’s morning spirals down to a new low for each of them. Angry and bitter, they never see each other again, until by a rare coincidence, they are each invited to the same wedding. With Sydney Sweeney (Americana, Euphoria-TV) as Bea, Glen Powell (Hidden Figures, Top Gun: Maverick) as Ben, Alexandra Shipp (Shaft, tick, tick…Boom!) as Claudia, Hadley Robinson (Little Women, Moxie) as Halle and Dermot Mulroney (The Getback, The Family Stone) as Leo; this film had the appearances of a fun time. The two main stars had appeal and were equally matched. There were a few fresh moments; but overall, the writers stuck to a formulaic pattern. Much of the story was predictable, though there were a few tender scenes that had a little more oomph to them. What kept me interested in this film were certain parts of the dialog and some of the antics, which by the way, I hope I never find myself in such situations, where I would have to deal with such things.

Flash Movie Review: Genie
AT FIRST, I ADMIRED HIS DEDICATION to his job. He had been with the company for decades, rising the ranks until he was promoted to an upper management position. We were friends and considering the background he grew up in, I was both impressed and proud of his achievements. In his newest position, he was now responsible for over 150 employees. Early in our careers we would get together quite often to talk about our jobs. We would swap stories about the crazy things we each saw taking place at our companies. I told him about the receptionist at my company who would be high on drugs while managing the switchboard. On her break she would go outside and smoke a joint or drop acid, come back to her desk, and continue with her work. She purposely wore tinted glasses so no one would see her eyes, but I could tell when she was high because she would always be giggling. The day I told him about this employee was the day he did not have a story that could top mine. In fact, occasionally, he would call my office just to hear the switchboard operator speak and guess if she were high. As far as I knew, no one else in the company knew about the operator’s extra activities during her breaks; she stayed with the company for four years before resigning to take a job somewhere else. AS THE YEARS PASSED BY, MY friend and I had less and less contact. With each of his promotions, he was taking on increased responsibilities and less and less time off. His job started including some travel, to various branch locations where he had employees working remotely. It was a demanding job, but he was being appropriately compensated. I did notice; however, he was losing touch with several of his friends. After years of not being available they moved on without him. When it came time for him to retire, he mentioned he would work at getting back in touch with everyone. Sadly, he only enjoyed retirement for eight months before he passed away. I was sad that he never got to really enjoy living life because of all the constant working he had done. And the interesting thing, his story was familiar to me. I knew other people who wound up in similar situations. Another friend of mine’s wife divorced him because he was never around, always working. Like I used to mention in my yoga classes, yoga helps us with balance, balance in class and in life. You can see an example of what happens when someone is only focused on one aspect of their life in this comedy fantasy film. AFTER HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER LEAVE for a trial separation, a workaholic must find a way to win them back. The answer may have already been sitting in their house under his fingertips. With Melissa McCarthy (The Little Mermaid, The Kitchen) as Flora, Paapa Essiedu (Men, The Lazarus Project-TV) as Bernard, Denee Benton (Our Friend, The Gilded Age-TV) as Julie, Jordyn McIntosh (Unprisoned-TV, Abbott Elementary-TV) as Eve and Alan Cumming (The Anniversary Party, Rare Objects) as Flaxman; this movie was meant to be a holiday charmer for this year. The cast was wonderful together and Melissa gave it her all, putting her comedic timing to clever use. However, the script was so basic that there was nothing new offered for the viewer. Many scenes were predictable and did not provide much laughter, or even chuckles. If it were not for the cast and especially Melissa, I would have gotten bored. Despite my misgivings, I thought this still was an easy and light picture to sit through and on some level, I enjoyed parts of it and especially liked the message it was trying to convey.

Flash Movie Review: Totally Killer
THE MAN IN THE PHOTO WAS a college football player. He was fit and trim with wisps of hair trailing out under the back of his helmet. What was shocking about the photo was the fact he was my friend’s father, and I could not see any resemblance to the man that was standing next to me. I am not talking about graying hair or wrinkles; the man next to me was short and slightly hunched over. The excess weight he carried was stored in his belly; it hung prominently in front of his frame. His gait since I had known him was unsteady; there were times where I saw him struggling to get up from a chair. The man in the photo compared to the one I knew were polar opposites. Granted, I was not privy to any health issues he might have; but it literally looked like two different individuals. What makes me curious about such a difference is what kind of life did they live to get to their present state. Absolutely, one’s career can affect one’s health. I knew a person who experienced health issues like heartburn, headaches and dizziness Monday through Friday, the days they were at work. Let me just say, stress can seriously damage a person. I guess I am fascinated when a person has a dramatic physical change over the years. THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE THAT GIVES me an equal amount of surprise or shock. When someone I know, whether they are an acquaintance, relative or business associate, reveals something unexpected that never occurred to me. For example, a friend’s father who to me was this quiet, older gentle man told me he used to work for the United Nations as an interpreter, having studied seven different languages. There were times he sat in on meetings just so he could hear exactly what international diplomats were saying to each other: I was stunned. It sounded like espionage to me. All I knew about him was he owned a few apartment buildings. It was not like I was making any assumptions about his life; it was just what I observed when I was around him. I think the other reason this kind of stuff fascinates me is because the adults are parents and what child imagines their parents doing something exotic or wild in life. When I see old photographs of friends’ relatives and see them in a different light, it looks like they almost had an alter ego. I think it would be wild if we were able to see our parents and relatives when they were so young. The results could be eye opening, which happened to the daughter in this comedic horror film. WHEN AN ACCIDENT TRANSPORTS A DAUGHTER back in time, she will need the help of her now teen mother to try and solve why a killer has returned after so many years. With Kiernan Shipka (Wildflower, Mad Me-TV) as Jamie Hughes, Olivia Hold (Same Kind of Different as Me, Cloak & Dagger) as Pam Miller, Charlie Gillespie (Love You Anyway, Suze) as Teen Blake Hughes, Lochlyn Munro (A Night at the Roxbury, White Chicks) as Adult Blake Hughes and Troy Leigh-Anne Johnson (Let’s Scare Julie, Big Sky-TV) as Teen Lauren Creston; this movie was a surprise for me. With the mashup of genres and a smart script, I enjoyed watching this picture with its well-placed actors. There were amusing parts sprinkled into the serial killer scenes that gave off a freshness to the story. The acting was good, and I really enjoyed the fun factor. It was as if the writers took a little bit from Back to the Future, mixed it in with the Scream franchise, then added their own twist that provided me with almost two hours of enjoyment. After watching this film, maybe it is not always a good idea to see what one’s parents were like when they were young.

Flash Movie Review: Strays
ONE OF THE PERKS OF BEING on social media is seeing photos of people’s pets. This would also include the wildlife photos individuals post online. Being an animal lover, I enjoy seeing the variety of pets people have in their household. There is one individual who does a daily post of their dog, who has the most expressive face. When the dog’s owner puts a caption describing the dog’s mood, I would absolutely believe it based on the dog’s face. What really gets me is how the dog looks like he is posing. I do not think any artistic or editing abilities were used to create the photo, they simply are random shots of their day together. This is not the only pet posts that get to me; there are hundreds posted from other individuals. Though some people like to dress up their pets in human clothing, where some produce funny results at the animal’s expense, I per se am not one who wants to dress up my pet. It is the pet photos where they do not need anything to look like they are talking to us, just a cock of the head or expression on its face that completes the “look” for me. IN THE PAST, I HAVE MENTIONED a special dog from my past. This dog seemed to understand what I was saying all the time, except when I wanted him to go lie down, so I could work in the kitchen without constantly tripping over him as he followed me around. He had an uncanny way of knowing what mood I was in, reacting to it in an appropriate way like a friend or family member would do. If my mood was down, he would simply come up alongside and lean into me. Or sometimes, he would wrap his front paws around my arm or neck, like giving a hug, if he was able to reach it. If I was in a good/happy mood, he would want to play or interact with me more than usual. One of my favorite things to do was to look at him and ask if he would like a “doggie massage.” As soon as he heard those two words, he would run up to me, plop down onto his side and wait for me to give him body rubs. It was the funniest thing. With my experiences being around animals, I believe they really can understand or at least sense us; however, in all my encounters I have never come across dogs like the ones in this adventure comedy. GROWING UP BELIEVING HIS OWNER LOVED him, a dog discovers the truth after being dropped off and stranded in a different town, far away from his home. With Will Ferrell (Blades of Glory, Downhill) voicing Reggie, Jamie Foxx (They Cloned Tyrone, Day Shift) voicing Bug, Isla Fisher (The Beach Bum, Wedding Crashers) voicing Maggie, Randall Park (Totally Killer, Young Rock-TV) voicing Hunter and Will Forte (Nebraska, The Last Man on Earth-TV) as Doug; this movie is absolutely not meant for children. It is crude, rude and at times funny. I thought the idea for the story was interesting and surprisingly touching. It just seemed as if the humor got old after a while from all the trash talk and curse words being thrown about. If one can stomach all of this, the special effects are terrific. The dogs looked as if they were really talking and acting out the story. There were a few times I laughed out loud, but for the most part I either chuckled or groaned. I will say, after seeing this film I feel like I will pay closer attention to the dogs I encounter in my life. There was an extra scene during the ending credits.

Flash Movie Review: Quiz Lady
I HAVE A FRIEND, WHO I HAVE told numerous times, he should be a contestant on a musical game show. His knowledge of musical artists and songs is amazing; though, I should preface it by saying his command of music is limited to pop culture. Think Billboard, Top 40 type of music. He can tell you where a song ranked on the Billboard charts and for what year. When we are driving together in a car, he can name the song playing on the radio within the first couple of notes. Rarely has he ever been wrong when the radio announcer names the song after it has played. What is more fun to witness are the times he enters the music trivia contests that are held periodically at various clubs around the city. Sometimes he plays solo, but at others he has a childhood friend join him to form a formidable team. His friend is as good as him, so together they have won more times than not. I asked him once how it is that he knows so much about music, and he said it was due to his mother. She was always playing records in the house when he was growing up. At an early age, he could easily name songs from the Supremes, Everly Brothers, Little Richard, and the Kinks. I think he missed his calling and should have entered one of those reality music-based television shows. GROWING UP, I USED TO WATCH several game shows: some in reruns and others current. Jeopardy was one of my favorites, but only after I was in high school. Another one was Hollywood Squares, where the different squares of a Tick Tack Toe grid had different celebrities who would either give a truthful answer or a fake one to the contestant’s query. There were some shows where I could get the answer before the contestant had time to figure it out. It crossed my mind a couple of times that maybe I should apply to one of the game shows, but by the end of the telecast I realized I could not compete with the competition. Nonetheless, I got much enjoyment out of watching these shows. Sure, there were some that were informative, where I learned at least one new thing every time I watched the show. However, there were other shows I watched that focused more on silly situations to generate audience laughter. The one that comes to mind is The Newlywed Game. It is funny, when I was younger, I watched several game shows but now, there are not too many I care to watch. I just do not find them interesting; however, if the game show in this comedy was on the air, I would certainly tune in to it. ANNE YUM, PLAYED BY AWKWAFINA (THE FAREWELL, Crazy Rich Asians), never missed an episode of her favorite television game show. Little did she know that the things she learned would help her and her estranged sister one day. With Sandra Oh (Under the Tuscan Sun, Grey’s Anatomy-TV) as Jenny Yum, Will Ferrell (Anchorman franchise, Barbie) as Terry McTeer, Holland Taylor (The Practice-TV, The Wedding Date) as Francine and Jason Schwartzman (Moonrise Kingdom, Saving Mr. Banks) as Ron Heacock; this movie’s saving grace was the cast. I thought there was real chemistry between Awkwafina and Sandra Oh. It was because of the cast that the predictable story was easier to watch. I found most comedic scenes only humorous, warranting a chuckle every now and then. A couple of times I did laugh aloud, but that was it. The story kept an even pace, though I thought the beginning was a bit slow. If the question, “did you enjoy the film,” was posed to me, my answer would have to be, “it was okay.”

Flash Movie Review: Entergalactic
ONE OF THE BEST PIECES OF advice given to me was I need to love myself before someone can love me. Never having a great self-image of myself, it took a long time to find my way to accepting and loving myself. Prior to getting to that place, I went through a period where I had a series of multiple dates that each one did not last more than two or three months. Looking back, I can see one factor that did not work in my favor. By not feeling good about myself and/or where I was in life, I was not able to connect with others on a deeper level. I stayed very guarded, not willing or to be more precise, not able to express a sense of joy and wonder about life. Most of my first dates were more like an interview, with me as the interviewer. It was easier for me to hear about someone else’s issues and try to fix them than me working on myself. I especially enjoyed the challenge when a first-time date talked about their ex, which many people say is a red flag. It never bothered me unless it sounded like they missed and wanted to get back with them, which has happened to me. On some level, hearing about someone else’s troubles with a previous partner made me feel like I was not the only one suffering from a bad relationship. FROM MY EXPERIENCES, WHEN ASKED I have offered advice to my friends who are dealing with dating issues. I have one friend who has avoided looking at their recent past relationships that ended with sadness. It is as if they take all their feelings and emotions and put them in a box to be stored somewhere in the back of their brain. I remember when their previous relationship ended and one week later, they were out on a date. When they finally asked me for advice, I asked them if they saw a pattern taking place from each breakup. Maintaining a safe environment for them to finally open up about it, they discovered certain things they do in each relationship. Once that connection was made, they got into exploring more about themselves and I could not be happier that today they are in a loving relationship that turned into marriage. When things fall into places where one feels good about themselves, their career, their life, then they can really make connections with other human beings. And I am not only talking about connecting on a love relationship, but with friends and family, the world opens for them to spread and share that love. I saw it in this animated, musical romantic comedy. AFTER GETTING HIRED BY A POPULAR publishing company and moving into a dream apartment, a graffiti artist finds himself balancing the aspects of his new life. He can also forget about the girlfriend who dumped him…or could he? With Kid Cudi (Need for Speed, X) voicing Jabari, Jessica Williams (Fantastic Beasts franchise, Booksmart) voicing Meadow, Laura Harrier (Spider-Man: Homecoming, White Men Can’t Jump) voicing Carmen, musical artist Ty Dolla Sign voicing Ky and Timothee Chalamet (Dune, Call Me by Your Name) voicing Jimmy; I found this film exciting. The reason is because it took a generic rom-com scenario and injected it with a new, creative flair that made viewing and listening to it so enjoyable. I thought the animation was excellent, to the point where one could almost see the characters as living, breathing human beings. The musical soundtrack fit the story perfectly and I liked the way the songs were introduced during it. Even when scenes were predictable, it did not matter to me because of the way the movie told the story. This was a confident and well-done production all around.

Flash Movie Review: Red, White, & Royal Blue
WHO WAS I TO TELL HER what to do? My friend was telling me about a date she had over the weekend, someone she had previously met at a party. Their date was at a coffee shop, and they settled down at a small table on the outdoor patio. She told me he was pleasant but boring. I asked her to explain what was boring about him. The things she described seemed to me to be just average traits that were neither boring nor exciting. He was not much of a book reader, but he did like reading magazines. His physical activities were focused on hikes, walking and bowling. My friend made a disparaging comment about his bowling; I told her there was nothing wrong with it and besides, it still was a physical activity. She continued and as I listened to her, I had to remind myself that this really was only one date. I did not understand how things like bowling and not being able to dance played such an important part in her decision process on whether to like a person or not. From my dating experiences, my dealbreakers were unclean fingernails, bad teeth and an unkept appearance. Whether they liked or participated in the same activities I enjoyed did not play such an important part in whether I was attracted to them or not. I told her first dates were tough, that I always agreed to a second date unless I felt there was something serious wrong with the person. I SHARED MY STORIES ABOUT A past relationship who I disliked upon first meeting. They were a college professor who stressed during our first date, that they did not want to get involved with anyone who was too dramatic. From our first date, I felt they were somewhat conceited; they talked a lot about the things they achieved since they started teaching at the college. I could not tell if they were boastfully talking out of nervousness or desperation. We got on the subject of travel, and they shared some of their travel stories, making a point to tell me about the people who kept complimenting the bathing suit they wore by the hotel’s pool. I took all of this in stride and agreed to meet up again. On our second date, there was a calmness in them that was not present before. Our conversation had more substance to it. I think it was on our fourth date, when I started to feel a real connection between us. I told my friend all of this, making the point to say that if I had based my decision on our first date and my impressions, I would not have found myself becoming attracted to them. However, I understood not everyone thinks like I do and may not want to give a second chance on a person. I saw it happen in this romantic comedy. IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO BE the son of famous parents; but, when the US President’s son and a royal prince get into a scuffle, the two are forced to put on appearances of friendship for the sake of important trade negotiations taking place between their countries. With the public watching, the two had to be careful about how they acted towards each other. With Taylor Zakhar Perez (Cruel Intentions-TV, The Kissing Booth-TV) as Alex Claremont-Diaz, Nicholas Galitzine (Cinderella, High Strung) as Prince Henry, Uma Thurman (Kill Bill franchise, The War with Grandpa) as Ellen Claremont, Thomas Flynn (Shark Bait, Bridgerton-TV) as Prince Philip and relative newcomer Bridget Benstead as Princess Martha; this film based on the best selling novel followed a standard rom-com template, though with a bit of a twist on it. There were several fun scenes with some witty dialog, that easily fell into place with how the story flowed. I felt the writers did an adequate job of keeping viewers interested in the characters and story. My first impression at the beginning of this movie improved as the story unfolded.

Flash Movie Review: You are so Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah
IT TOOK SOME TIME BEFORE I became comfortable going out to the clubs by myself. There were a couple of reasons why I would venture out alone; one, I do not drink alcohol and two, I did not like staying so late when many patrons were feeling the effects from their drinks. There was nothing worse than being stuck next to someone who could barely form words into a sentence, let alone stand on their own two feet. If I did go out with a group of friends, everyone knew I was the designated driver and I was okay with that as long as they knew they could not make a mess inside the car. Since I loved listening to music, I found myself enjoying sitting by the bar or standing off to the sidelines listening and watching people dance to the music. It felt like I was an audience member at a variety show. There was so much to watch, from the different fashion choices to the dancing skills to the foolishness of some individuals. Because I was somewhat shy, I tended to find an ideal spot for my people watching and would stay there for most of the night. It would not be unusual for me to tap my foot or move my hips to a song; I think subconsciously I was letting everyone know I like to dance. THE TIMES I WOULD GO WITH a couple of friends, we had a plan in place to avoid any conflict. It turned out we were all attracted to the same type of individual. We came up with a plan where we took turns on who would get the first opportunity to engage with that person. If things went well and they hit it off, so be it. If not, then the next one of us in line could try our hand at starting up a conversation. This all came about when two of my friends got into a fight over someone, they both had an interest in. I stayed on the sidelines as an impartial observer; there was no way I was going to pick sides. After that disagreement, we came up with the idea of taking turns if we discovered more than one of us was interested in someone. Now, you might laugh at this, but I must tell you we never had a disagreement ever again. Personally, I could never imagine having a fight with a good friend over someone we both liked, but that is me. However, if you want to see what could happen without a plan, then you might be interested in watching what takes place with best friends in this comedy. TWO BEST FRIENDS FOR YEARS HAVE been looking forward to their Bat Mitzvahs. With every detail planned out for every minute, there was nothing left to chance; except, the discovery that both girls had the same love interest. With Idina Menzel (Uncut Gems, Enchanted franchise) as Bree Friedman, Jackie Sandler (The Wrong Missy, Daddy Daughter Trip) as Gabi Rodriguez Katz, Adam Sandler (The Wedding Singer, Hustle) as Danny Friedman, Sunny Sandler (Grown Ups franchise, The Out-Laws) as Stacy Friedman and Samantha Lorraine (Kid Stew-TV, The Kid Who Only Hit Homers) as Lydia Rodriguez Katz; this film was filled with Adam’s family members. With that being said, I did think Sunny had a good sense of comedic timing and came across convincingly. The story had a typical coming of age theme; however, the script had a bit more punch to it, infused with Adam’s brand of humor. Overall, there was nothing great or terrible about this picture; it was simply okay. In my opinion, I would not go out of my way to see this movie, but if you have nothing else to do and want to fill the time, then this film might fit the bill.

Flash Movie Review: My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3
THE FOOD WAS GOOD BUT THE conversation took a slight detour while we were eating. I had been invited over to a friend’s house for dinner. Of course, I brought a dessert with me, and it was a good thing since their kids had come over to join us. During the meal, I commented on one of the platters that had been placed on the dining room table. It looked like a platter my family used when company came over. I asked about its origins and was told it was part of a dinner set that was handed down from my friend’s great grandmother. I was immediately impressed that something so “old” had been carefully taken care of for all these years, since it looked so good. Plus, I loved that my friend had an appreciation for family heirlooms. I have in my possession a silver wine cup that came from my great, great grandfather who only used it on holidays. During the conversation, my friend turned to their two children and asked if either of them would like it. Both did not even pause to think about it before saying no. I did not say a word but thought it would be sad if the platter wound up in the trash heap or found its way to a garage sale or resale shop. I could see the disappointment on my friend’s face, so much for family history. I DO NOT REMEMBER WHEN MY interest in family history, heirlooms and such took on a level of importance; I enjoy learning about my ancestors and appreciate whatever small things they may have left behind for future generations to house and protect. For example, I have a framed photo hanging on a wall of my great, great, great grandmother who was alive when Napoleon invaded Russia. When guests are over and I explain the image to them, they each cannot get over the idea that this old frail woman dressed in a dark, floor length drab dress with a plain scarf tied around her head witnessed such history as a small child and that I am related to her. I ask you; how many people know what their great, great, great grandmother looks like? I feel if we can get some understanding about those who came before us, it will help us on our life’s path forward. Presently, I am debating how best I can distribute old photos I have of my relatives when they and their families were quite young. It is this idea of passing down a person’s history that I found so charming in this dramatic, comedy romance. WANTING TO FULFILL THEIR DECEASED FATHER’S wish to pass down his personal journal to his childhood friends, his children plan a trip to their father’s homeland, that will correspond with a family reunion. The problem will be how to track down these friends from a long, long time ago. With Nia Vardalos (I Hate Valentine’s Day, The Curse of Bridge Hollow) as Toula, John Corbett (The Messengers, The Silence) as Ian, Louis Mandylor (The Debt Collector, As Good as Dead) as Nick, Elena Kampouris (Before I Fall, Summer Night) as Paris and Andrea Martin (Black Christmas, The Good Fight-TV) as Aunt Voula; this sequel did not offer much to maintain my interest. The only two highlights were Andrea Martin’s performance and the beautiful scenery filmed in Greece. I did not find anything funny and thought there was zero-character development for most of the cast. The direction was poor because it felt like I was watching a series of vignettes. For the most part everything being done was predictable to the point where I was bored. I am afraid this movie would be something one does not want to hand down to a younger generation.
