Big, muscular, super powerful...Shazam
By David Kanowsky April 8, 2019
We seem to be in a season of superhero movies here in the Verde Valley. It can mean happy times for younger viewers who have lived with a limited number of these productions so far. Shazam is a deviation from the usual ‘champion’ film because it includes a lot of humor. The super guy is not always in total command of a situation and it takes a while for him to understand the extent of his power.

By David Kanowsky March 18, 2019

Movie Review: Alita Battle Angel a futuristic tale of good vs. evil
By David Kanowsky February 18, 2019
Alita: Battle Angel is a bloated futuristic tale of good vs. evil. It is a rather simple, straightforward story, loaded with extensive visual effects, over-the-top martial arts fights with robotic giants, a bit of romance and a lot of noise and loud music.

Laurel & Hardy come back to life in 'Stan & Ollie'
By David Kanowsky February 4, 2019
Stan & Ollie is a film to see if you remember and loved the comic duo, Laurel & Hardy, or even if you didn’t love them. The outstanding portrayal of the two men — makeup, posture and especially the acting together almost made me believe that I was watching the legendary pair themselves.
