Looking for a twisty thriller to binge-watch? Try His & Hers, based on the novel by Alice Feeny. Adapted for television by William Oldroyd, this murder mystery takes a deep dive into the dilemma of ‘two sides to every story.’ Having ‘disappeared’ after the tragic death of her child, grieving former TV news anchor Anna Harper (Tessa Thompson) returns to Atlanta to try to reclaim her prestigious job by reporting a brutal murder that took place in Dahlonega, her small Georgia hometown.

SPIRITED – Review by Martha K Baker

November 17, 2022November 18, 2022 Martha K. Baker (Archived Contributor) Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, Ryan Reynolds, Spirited, Sunita Mani, will farrell

Turns out the Afterlife is a musical. Who knew? Unfortunately, if Spirited is a model, the Afterlife is tuneless with lyrics as forgettable as a hymn’s 6th verse. We can blame Benj Pasek and Justin Paul for that (some of us are still blaming them for La La Land). We can also blame casting non-singers as leads in a musical.

THE OUTSIDE STORY – Review by Maitland McDonagh

May 11, 2021May 19, 2021 Maitland McDonagh Brian Tyree Henry, Casimir Nozkowski, Maria Dizzia, Olivia Edward, Sonequa Martin-Green, Sunita Mani, the outside story

An gentle ensemble comedy-drama, The Outside Story is small movie with, yes, a big heart. And that’s a good thing. Brooklyn-based documentary filmmaker Charles (Brian Tyree Henry) has been in a serious rut since he split up with his girlfriend, lawyer Isha (Sonequa Martin-Green), whose belongings–packed in boxes scattered around the brownstone apartment–serve as constant reminders of her absence.
