Flash Movie Review: A Million Miles Away
AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS getting certified to teach aerobics, there was a guy going through the process. Back then in the aerobic world, men were in the minority. Before the session started, he and I struck up a conversation. He told me he planned on flying through the testing so he could start teaching immediately at one of the most exclusive health clubs in the city. I congratulated him, though I was thinking he could be setting himself up for a big disappointment. The reason I felt this was because in one of our earlier sessions, I saw him struggling with one of the exercises we were practicing. I asked him how long he had been taking aerobic classes and he said he only had participated in a few classes. It took everything I had to keep the expression on my face from turning into a look of shock. I was curious, so asked him what motivated him to become a fitness instructor. He said he saw a movie a few years prior, where some of the scenes were held in a fitness studio, and he decided that was what he wanted to do. He thought about it all the time, he said. When I asked him why he thought he would quickly get through the testing process, he said it was because he was always good in gym. I, ON THE OTHER HAND, WAS nervous about the testing process because I had difficulty coming up with spontaneous moves. I knew myself well enough where I had to plan out every move, I was going to teach the class. After consistently being a participant in aerobic classes for a few years, I decided being a fitness instructor would be something I would enjoy doing. It would not only be a source of income, but it would also keep me on track from putting on any weight. The workbook that I received in the mail prior to the certification date was worn and dogeared in several places where I had to go over the information a few times before I felt comfortable understanding it. The facilitator walked into the conference room; the two of us stopped talking. We were each going to take a turn to teach everyone in the room an aerobic routine for five to six minutes. I struggled when the guy next to me was taking his turn; I was not the only one. He had a hard time staying on the beat of the music, which kept throwing participants off. Also, he was doing his movements so fast that he never fully extended himself; so, his moves came off looking jerky without purpose. I could only assume he would not get high marks for his presentation. Maybe if he had studied and practiced, he could have done better. Too bad this film was not out back then, because it would have shown him what was needed to achieve a dream. AS A FARM WORKER, ALL JOSE, played by Michael Pena (Fantasy Island, End of Watch), could think about was becoming an astronaut one day. No one really took him seriously. With Rosa Salazar (Maze Runner franchise, Chariot) as Adela, Julio Cesar Cedillo (Cowboys & Aliens, The Harder They Fall) as Salvador, Veronica Falcon (Jungle Cruise, Queen of the South-TV) as Julia and Garret Dillahunt (12 Years a Slave, No Country for Old Men) as Sturckow; this dramatic biography was a real feel-good movie. Inspired by a true story, I thought Michael Pena did a wonderful job as Jose. Also, I thought the chemistry between him and Rosa as Adela was so authentic that it felt like reality. The story is incredible and though there could easily be more layers to the story, I was okay in how the director and writers chose to tell it. I thought the pacing was steady throughout and as the story was unfolding, I found myself rooting more and more for Jose. This movie was in a way a dream come true; I was glad I chose to see it and was rewarded with a wonderful story.

Flash Movie Review: Golda
WHILE EATING BREAKFAST, I WAS LISTENING to the news about the recent passing of a celebrity actress. She starred in a television sitcom back in the 1970s. I knew of her, but never really followed her career. What surprised me about the news was the fact she was fired from the TV show because she demanded equal pay, to match the male star of the show. I was not surprised that she was being paid a lesser amount to her male counterpart; but I was surprised that she got fired because of the request. In this day of age, I could not imagine any company doing such a thing; but who knows, anything I guess is possible, no matter how wrong it may be. The reason I am bringing this up is because near the same time, the early 70s, there was a woman who was the leader of her country. I had to wonder if she was being paid less than any of the men who had been in that same role. If that was the case, then it really was a crime for the powers that be to do that to her, especially since she found herself fighting a war during her years of service. And not that I pay much attention to a person’s looks, but she did not look the part of a leader; she looked more like someone’s grandmother who is constantly trying to give you food whenever you are at her house. I HAVE TO ADMIT I HESITATED to write a review today of this movie because of the current state of world events. I wound up seeing this film the week before war broke out in the middle east. If I had reviewed this film sooner, then I would not have had to deal with the mixed feelings I have at present. But after much thought, I decided to go ahead because the two situations separated by decades seem to be in parallel. It is not my place to pass judgement or to spin my words to paint a better light on a political or religious event; all I wish to do is tell you what I thought about the movie. It is not my job to try and sway your thoughts and beliefs; I only want to provide you with my reaction to a picture without giving away any of the plot. My number one focus is whether the film entertained me. With that being said, let me tell you about this biographical drama. AT 71 YEARS OLD, MOST PEOPLE would be enjoying their retirement. However, for this woman she not only started a new career position, but she also had to do her job during a war. With Helen Mirren (The Duke, Shazam! Fury of the Gods) as Golda Meir, Zed Josef (Breaking Infinity, Milk and Honey: The Movie) as Adam Snir, Claudette Williams (The Colour of Spring, The Sons of Misteltoe) as Golda double, Henry Goldman (Taking Woodstock, The Damned United) as Chairman Agranat and Emma Davies (The People We Love to Hate at the Wedding, Holby City-TV) as Miss Epstein; this film’s top draw was Helen Mirren. I thought she was wonderful in the role. It was unfortunate the script did not support her. I thought it was skimpy on details that would have made this movie more entertaining. There were several good scenes, but I never felt connected to anyone in the cast. It almost seemed as if the writers wanted to give the viewers a quick overview without delving deep into the character and emotions of the individual. I found myself drifting at times as the scenes jumped from intense war strategies to chain smoking and baths. I am afraid this production did not do anything to match the amazing feat this woman endured during her lifetime.

Flash Movie Review: Descendant
I AM STARING AT THESE PHOTOGRAPHS and had no idea who the people were in them. The photos were quite old because the edges were frayed, and the black and white images were faded. The people were related to me, at least I thought so. I found the photos stuffed in an envelope as I was going through a “junk” drawer. From the scenery and clothing, I had a feeling these photos might have been taken in my ancestors’ country. I would love to know whether I was looking at a great, great, great uncle or maybe it was a great + grandfather or cousin; there was no way to find out. The oldest relative I asked recognized the child in one of the photos but did not know any of the other people. Encouraged by this found treasure, I searched through more drawers in the house and was successful in finding more photos. The thought occurred to me why someone did not put all of them in a photo album, instead of stuffing them in flimsy envelopes. On one of the photographs there was writing on the back, but it was a different language. This was my proof that some of the photos were taken in a different country. My mind reeled with the notion that in my hand I was holding something that had come from a different country, traveled here and then handed down from generation to generation. It was history, my history. IN THE HALLWAY, THERE IS A photo hanging of my great, great, great grandmother. She is the oldest relative that I have a photo of. I believe, she was alive when Napoleon invaded Russia. Though I have no other knowledge about her life or even her name; there is something about seeing her and knowing I am related to her that forms this ghostly connection. There is nothing about her facial features or surroundings that triggers a sense of familiarity; however, I do feel a sense of belonging and imagine how she would react to the world I grew up in compared to hers. Would she have a sense of belonging herself or a sense of pride, maybe? I imagine what life must have been for her. In the photo, she is sitting on a small wooden stool that is barely visible with the fullness of her long black skirt. There is a kerchief tied around her head, though she is sitting indoors. Behind her is a small 2 drawer, wooden chest; only one of the drawers has a handle. I wish I could fill in the gap between her and the generations of family that grew up with me; to learn more about our history and which relatives are here because of her. I can totally sympathize with the residents who live in their little community depicted in this documentary, in a land that their ancestors were forced to come live in. THE CITIZENS OF AFRICATOWN HAVE HAD their stories handed down through the generations. Many of them involve a boat that might have sunk off their coast. Written by newcomer Kern Jackson and written and directed by Margaret Brown (The Order of Myths, Be Here to Love Me), this story that was set in Alabama was fascinating to me. Being into family, I was intrigued by the variety of residents that were interviewed, listening to their family’s history. I thought the presentation of their story was especially poignant due to what we have been witnessing at present, regarding the banning of books and not teaching portions of history in the classroom. To see the life the people are living, despite the challenges both environmentally and financially, with the hope of finding proof to explain the evolution of their existence was touching and real for me. This movie was the perfect example of one component of our country’s history.

Flash Movie Review: The Nun II
I HAVE ALWAYS SAID, IF THE sinister character is not scary then the story will not succeed. There have been many films I sat through where the “bad” character does not exude evilness. I remember one superhero movie where the evil character was milquetoast; there was nothing about him that would make someone quack in their boots, or in this case movie seat. I sat in the theater and wondered why his followers were attracted to him and even sacrificed their lives for him. Thinking back at some of the horror films I sat through, I can only remember the ones where the evil character was this sinister, manipulating being that thrived on victims’ suffering. Not that I enjoy watching people get tortured, maimed or killed; but the “bad” being should be something that triggers a response in the viewer that sends a shudder through them or at least takes their breath away for a moment. I have wondered why writers wind up with a so-so evil character in their stories. Was it because the writer could not allow themselves to tap into their dark side, or was it possible their upbringing would not let them cross the line between decency and decadency? Sometimes, I wish I knew the answer. I THINK IF I EVER HAD to write a screenplay for a horror movie, I could create an evil character just based on some of the mean people I encountered throughout my life. If memory serves me, I believe I talked about this classmate who set a cat’s tail on fire and watched the cat burn to death. He would be a good one to base a “bad” character on. Though weirdly, he was not a troublemaker or bully in class; in fact, I do not recall him ever getting in trouble with the teacher. But isn’t that the best kind of evil? Later there was another classmate who I was actually afraid to be around. He would shove students who were in his way in the school’s hallways. I found it especially creepy if he used his hand that had the tip of a finger blown off by a firecracker or for all I know, a bullet. This one finger ended in a ball shape with scars and little hairs growing out of it; he loved shoving it into students’ faces while uttering vile words at them. I did my best to never cross paths with him. And I must tell you, I would equally not want to encounter the evil being in this horror, mystery suspense sequel. WHEN A MURDERED PRIEST IS DISCOVERED, Sister Irene, played by Taissa Farmiga (Rules Don’t Apply, The Bling Ring), is sent to investigate. What she finds is something she had encountered before. With Jonas Bloquet (3 Days to Kill, Alone at My Wedding) as Maurice, Storm Reid (A Wrinkle in Time, Missing) as Debra, Anna Popplewell (The Chronicles of Narnia franchise, Reign-TV) as Kate and Bonnie Aarons (I Live Alone, Frank) as The Demon Nun; this horror, mystery thriller surprised me; I thought it was better than the original. The filming and atmosphere created were perfect as the suspense kept building up in snippets. I thought the cast did an excellent job with their characters, especially Taissa and Jonas, and the director put them in the best of circumstances, creating a sense of dread as the movie progressed. The script was the weak spot for me; it could have been more creative to move the story away from the usual story lines for this genre. However, I enjoyed the little details that made the whole look of this film gothic and creepy. If the studio can keep up improving on this franchise, then I will certainly make a point of seeing future sequels in the movie theater. There was an extra scene during the ending credits.

Flash Movie Review: The Covenant
WHEN WE WERE KIDS, WE WERE always changing the rules while playing a game. Of course, they were changed only if everyone agreed. I remember one game we played, a trivia based one, where the answer had to be the famous person’s last name. We decided to make it easier by allowing the use of the person’s first name, if we could not remember their last name. Think about the made-up games many of us did when we were children; the rules were never set in stone, going through revision after revision until we were pleased with the outcome. As I got older, I noticed how important it became for some individuals to be the winner of the game. I was never competitive in a game, except with myself. It was more important to me to improve my game than trying to beat someone else who was playing it. Being my own worse critic, I had plenty of drive inside of me to get better. Nowadays, I am bit more relaxed about it; however, there are certain people I refuse to play with because they are so extreme. They yell at teammates if they do not make the right move/play and they are always trying to stretch the rules to their advantage. I am a rule follower and to play a game with someone involves a certain level of trust. One cannot suddenly change the rules to suit their needs. THERE IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I am selective when it comes to who I will play with for a game. I have been at some game night events where it becomes too cliquish for me. Certain players secretly make alliances with other players; others make promises but then renege on them. I am not comfortable getting involved with people who do this; I do not find them trustworthy which leads to me not having a good time with them. I have said this many times; the one thing that every human being can offer to another is their word. Giving your word is sacred. I cannot tell you how annoying and disappointing it is for me when someone tells me they are going to do something but then does not do it. I would rather they just never said a word about it and kept it to themselves. I sort of feel like some people feel if they just talk about doing something it is enough to make the people, they are telling it to, to feel good; trust me, it does not. You can see for yourself in this dramatic, action thriller. DURING THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN, A soldier and his local interpreter find themselves struggling to escape the clutches of the encroaching Taliban fighters. If ever there was a need for trust, this would be the time. With Jake Gyllenhaal (Ambulance, The Guilty) as Master Sergeant John Kinley, Dar Salim (The Devil’s Double, Loving Adults) as Ahmed, Sean Sagar (Blue Story, Our Girl-TV) as Charlie “Jizzy” Crow, Jason Wong (The Gentlemen, Panic) as Joshua “JJ” Jung and Rhys Yates (Bloodyminded, Unforgotten-TV) as Tom “Tom Cat” Hancock; this film directed by Guy Ritchie was extremely intense with heart stopping fight scenes. I thought everyone in the cast was exceptional, especially Jake and Dar. Jake’s specialty in my opinion is his ability to display such intensity in his characters and in here he does not disappoint. The action was steady throughout and the script kept things tightly moving forward. I do not know if the story was based/inspired by true events, but I could easily see how it could be possible. From beginning to end I was engaged with the story and was even a little exhausted when it was over.

Flash Movie Review: A Haunting in Venice
THE LAST TIME I VISITED THE city, the museum was closed; so, I was excited that I was finally able to get inside this time. The museum building itself was originally a millionaire’s mansion. But it was nothing like any of the mansions I had seen on walking tours or driving by. This structure had a combination of marble and granite, making it look partially like a Venetian palace from the 15th century. The owner who had this place built was an art collector, philanthropist and patron of the arts. The owner’s intentions were to have their art collection permanently housed and displayed in the house for everyone to come and enjoy them. Upon their death an endowment was created to turn the mansion into a “living” museum. I had heard many things about the place, but I wanted to see it for myself. There was something fascinating about going through someone’s place from a century ago to see how they lived back then, besides seeing how many things they were able to collect in their lifetime. From what I read, artists they were fond of would come and pay a call to them from time to time. And they collected from multiple genres such as paintings, sculptures, textiles, and a variety of historical items. ONCE I WAS ADMITTED INSIDE, I was taken aback by the largeness of the hallways. The walls were stone/brick, and the floors were some types of flagstones or slate. There were two suits of armor positioned across from each other. Further down there was a tapestry hanging on the wall that filled that portion of the wall from the floor to ceiling. It looked ancient to me. I walked into a room that had artwork covering all the walls. Some of the works I was able to recognize the artists, but others I did not have a clue because nothing was labeled. The room must have been used as a sitting room, I am guessing, for visitors who first arrived. There was a sofa lushly upholstered in a thick damask fabric with two heavy chairs on either side. In front of the sofa was a small table that had a vase on it that looked Asian, but again I had no idea if it meant anything. As I made my way through the museum, I appreciated the amount of effort and money it must have taken to acquire such a massive collection. The artworks were beautiful, and I appreciated that the guidebook talked about a few of them for each room; however, there were more times than not, I did not know what I was looking at. It was disappointing. Interestingly, I felt the same way about seeing this murder mystery drama. CONTENT WITH RETIRED LIFE, FORMER DETECTIVE Hercule Poirot, played by Kenneth Branagh (Oppenheimer, My Week with Marilyn), reluctantly agrees to go with a friend to a séance. When one of the guests is found murdered, Detective Poirot has no choice but to find the culprit. With Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once, Gunpowder Milkshake) as Mrs. Reynolds, Jamie Dornan (Belfast, Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar) as Dr. Leslie Ferrier, Tina Fey (Wine Country, Mean Girls) as Ariadne Oliver and relative newcomer Dylan Corbett Bader as Baker; this latest Agatha Christie story from Kenneth was the least interesting of his Christie films for me. The visuals were wonderful, set in Venice; but the script started out slowly and I never felt an emotional connection to any of the characters. They seemed to all be on the same plateau with no difference in feelings. As I said it was disappointing because I respected the cast and knew they could do so much more with their characters. Another thing, I was not fond of some of the camera shoots with their close-ups and shadows. They seemed to have been put in for effect that fell flat. Having recently been in Italy, I loved all the scenery filmed for this story; but I just felt empty by the end of the movie.

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: The Flash
I USED TO HAVE A FRIEND who wished most of his life back to his past. He was present for the most part when we would get together, but inevitably, something would come up and trigger him to express his wish he could have done things differently in his past. I explained many of us do the same thing; however, they do not let that desire take hold of their life. There are a multitude of things I wish I would have handled or done differently, but what good is it to sit and dwell upon it. There was the long-term relationship I was in that ended in a brutal way, with me contributing some of the brutality in a backlash. Or the times I was too afraid to express my feelings and acted in ways that came across as non-sympathetic or non-pulsed. I wish I had studied and focused harder in my schooling so I would have had a clearer sense of what I wanted to do when I entered college. And because it has scarred me for most of my life, I wish I would have started to take better care of myself earlier, to possibly avoid the taunts and teasing I endured about my weight. On the other hand, I believe there is a reason for everything. I had to go through what I did to become who I am now. MY FRIEND HAD SO MANY REGRETS about the way things happened in his past that it caused him to suffer with bouts of depression and anxiousness. He held down a good job, but his social life took a beating; he was either too sad to get together with people or he talked so much about his past that people did not want to be around him. They call that a “catch 22” situation. No matter how hard friends and family tried, he never found a peaceful place to reside in. I felt sad about it. One thing I dislike doing is using someone’s tragedy to make someone else feel better about themselves, but I went ahead and shared a story about someone I knew who asked a friend of theirs to pick up an item they had on hold at a store and the friend got into a car accident on the way and died. Imagine the guilt that person had for asking their friend to do something for them that resulted in their death. I try to make sense of things, so a part of me believes that actions such as these are meant to be. Also, who knows what would happen if we could change things from our past. This action, fantasy adventure certainly presents a strong case for the consequences that result from changing the past. DISCOVERING A NEW SKILL THAT COULD save his mother’s life, a son travels back in time in the hopes of making a change that would affect the outcome of his present life. With Ezra Miller (We Need to Talk About Kevin, Fantastic Beasts franchise) as Barry Allen, Michael Keaton (The Founder, The Protégé) as Bruce Wayne, Sasha Calle (The Young and the Restless-TV) as Kara Zor-El, Michael Shannon (Take Shelter, Midnight Special) as General Zod and Ron Livingston (The Professor, Office Space) as Henry Allen; this superhero film was a major disappointment. I thought the script was awful, not making any sense to me except on a basic level. The special effects were nothing great and the script was annoying with the constant bickering that went back and forth between characters. The only part I enjoyed was Michael Keaton reprising his role as Batman. Outside of that, I still have a hard time understanding how a movie studio can consistently take a fantasy story and make it boring. I must think that some of the people associated with the making of this picture wish they could have done things differently. There was an extra scene at the end of the film’s credits.

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.
