Buddy Review: I Played Barney Once, and I Have Regrets
Movie Review Buddy 7/10 TLDR Casper Kelly’s send-up of children’s television is weird, twisted and darkly funny, with a voice performance from Keegan-Michael Key that keeps finding new places to go. It runs a little long and detours where it shouldn’t, but the imagery sticks. The Facts Synopsis: Inside the pastel world of the children’s…

Well-staged shocks, smart world-building, and Lin Shaye still holding it together. The Facts Synopsis: A young mother raising her daughter in her…

Union County: A Raw Look at Redemption
Movie Review Union County 8/10 TLDR Adam Meeks puts two well-known actors inside a real drug court beside the people who actually work the program, and the seam never shows. No mountaintop, no doors blown off, just spirit and sad eyes. The Facts Synopsis: Two foster brothers land in the same county-mandated drug court program…
