Gold Brick (AKA: Cash): Movie Review

Some dumb criminals in an entertaining movie.

Gold Brick is a French heist comedy, a tale of capitalism turning into greed. Set in a blue-collar town, Daniel (Raphaël Quenard) has had his share of wealthy families running unscrupulous companies stealing job opportunities from those who just want to work. So Daniel fights back, gets a job with the evil Breuil perfume company, and steals from within		2023 Directed by: Jérémie Rozan Screenplay by: Jérémie Rozan Starring: Raphaël Quenard, Antoine Gouy

Chevalier: Movie Review

A tale of opera, racism, forbidden love and the French revolution.

A film about a man almost forgotten by history is about to be completely ignored by the movie-going public. On one hand, an operatic biopic about a violinist from the 18th century is never going to be an easy sell; but on the other hand, this should have easily been able to ride the popularity of Bridgerton, the popularity of stars Kelvin Harrison Jr and Samara Weaving and the intrigue in the French monarchy and Queen Marie Antoinette.		2022 Directed by: Stephen Williams Screenplay by: Stefani Robinson Starring: Kelvin Harrison, Jr., Samara Weaving

The Unseen: Movie Review

The Unseen is an indie horror. This is a difficult movie to get into with a very minimal production budget and effects that (purposely?) mimic 1950s horror stuff; it looks amateur-ish and is probably only meant for the most forgiving horror fans. Presumably the world it presents is supposed to be a normal family in a normal city, and then start the creepy hints that things aren’t right.		2023 Directed by: Vincent Shade Screenplay by: Jennifer A. Goodman Starring: RJ Mitte, Kimberly Michelle Vaughn
