The small town of Deerlaken, Wisconsin has become ground zero for America’s political circus when the video of a retired Marine Colonel (Chris Cooper) goes viral. The video shows the Colonel standing up for the town’s undocumented workers.

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” —Martin Luther King (Rephrasing a 1853 sermon by abolitionist minister Theodore Parker.) Over the weekend I saw the screenwriter Paul Schrader posted on his YouTube page this interview with Marlon Brando and Johnny Carson from May, 5, 1968. Except that this two […]… Continue reading Marlon Brando & Johnny Carson After the Death of Martin Luther King Jr. — Screenwriting from Iowa

There are several common threads that run through amost every Liam Neeson film so that you know what to expect. Since the always likable Irishman redefined himself with 2008’s “Taken”, he has become a bona fide action star.

Duke (a Glenwood, Arkansas native) is probably best known for his roles in a string of irritating raunchy comedies. But “Arkansas” is a labor […]… Continue reading REVIEW: “Arkansas” (2020) — Keith & the Movies

It’s unfortunate because he’s a seasoned actor who has shown a dynamic range throughout his nearly 25 year career. The French actor has dabbled in nearly every genre, arguably shining brightest in the area of comedy. He’s a […]… Continue reading REVIEW: “Deerskin” (2020) — Keith & the Movies

Throughout the decades there had been slight variations in the depictions of the fanged bloodsuckers, but most were still in the older, stodgier Dracula vein (bad pun attended). “The Lost Boys” presented them differently – young, cool, and with […]… Continue reading RETRO REVIEW: “The Lost Boys: (1987) — Keith & the Movies

Full disclosure, I had never heard of “Artemis Fowl” prior to its feature film announcement. I knew nothing of Irish author Eoin Colfer’s popular series of children’s novels that featured a total of eight books released from 2001 to 2012. So I can honestly say I came into Disney’s $125 million adaptation with fresh eyes […]… Continue reading REVIEW: “Artemis Fowl” (2020) — Keith & the Movies
