"SUICIDE SQUAD" SHOWDOWN

The 2016 D.C. Extended Universe (DCEU) film, "SUICIDE SQUAD", featured an interesting post-credit scene between A.R.G.U.S. Director Amanda Waller and billionaire Bruce Wayne aka Batman.

"THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE" (2000) Review

I never saw "THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE" in the movie theaters when it was first released years ago. I have a low tolerance of sports movies and there are only a few that I consider favorites of mine. Another reason why I never saw this film in the theaters is that my family simply had no desire to see it. ( Collapse )

"BARBARY COAST" (1935) Review

I have seen a good number of television and movie Westerns in my time.

And I find that rather surprising, considering many historians regard it as one of the most interesting periods in the history of the American Old West. ( Collapse )

"DODSWORTH" (1936) Review

I might as well place my cards on the table. William Wyler has been one of my favorite Old Hollywood directors for as long as I can remember. One particular movie that had impressed me as a teenager and a woman in my 20s was his 1936 film, "DODSWORTH". However, a good number of years had passed since I last saw it. Realizing this, I decided to view the movie again for a new assessment. ( Collapse )
