As we prepare for the opening of theaters and the return to normal life practices, we want to remind people that we are still within the thralls of a pandemic, and recommend people check out our article on ”If You Should Go Out” Here. Until then though, if you do go to a theater make sure it has a policy of requiring attendees to wear masks, and sit in isolated groups out of proximity of other viewers.
The Dig – Releasing on Streaming
Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – 86%
A widow, of high wealth, has her property excavated, but as a wooden ship from the dark ages is found on the property they realize how historic it is. As they experience the gravity of the situation, World War II looms in the distance.
Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes star in this period piece, which stands as less of an authentic story, and more of a romantic story to hold a modern drama lovers attention.

A Muay Thai fighter, played by Nik Sasso, has retired to the normal job as a bouncer. When a performer, played by Nomi Ruiz, is threatened by a thug for being transgender, the retired fighter becomes her protector and boyfriend. As a result of the protection, he is forced to return to the realm of fighting, it puts a strain on his new relationship.
I’m more than happy to have a transgender character in a story where they are not just transitioning, but there is, of course, the storyline of them being the object of ridicule. I only hope that the movie doesn’t spend too much time focusing on that, and uses the story of the character in a normal matter, and not the two only forms of stories typically used for transgendered characters.

When a serial killer begins to terrorize Los Angeles, Deputy Sheriff Joe Deacon, played by Denzel Washington, partners with Sgt. Jim Baxter, played by Rami Malek, to hunt them. However, Deacon starts to realize that the killer’s investigation path is leading to secrets about himself.
If you are a fan of Virtuosity, then this film might sound a bit similar. The story of Denzel’s character being the only one to track down a serial killer with a shared history with the man person. That being said, no one does action and suspense like Denzel Washington.
