Doctor Sleep picks up with Danny Torrence years after the events at the Overlook Hotel. Still traumatized, Dan struggles with alcoholism and is searching for peace. But the past comes back to haunt him when he meets teenager, Abra who gives off an incredible "shine." Together they fight the cult members who tried to feed off of those who shine in order to gain immortality. Despite the star-packed cast, Doctor Sleep left us scratching our heads more than satisfied.
Harriet attempts to tell the whole life of Harriet Tubman in the span of two hours to mediocre success. The theatrical Harriet has "superpowers" and loses momentum as it tries to inject action while condensing her incredible story.

From Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator to Mel Brooks' The Producers, we have been fed a parade of the absurd when it comes to Nazis and their ideals. Now Taika Waititi can add his name to the list of directors who take a swipe at Germany's greatest shame. In Jojo Rabbit we experience the waning days of World War 2 through the eyes of a dedicated Hilter-fan, 10-year-old Jojo. A staunch believer in das Führer to the point of imagining Hitler as his imaginary friend, Jojo aims to be the best little Nazi that he can be.
But his image of the world begins to change when he discovers a Jewish girl hiding in his house. Confronted with a reality that doesn't match the propaganda, Jojo grapples with what to believe in. Hilarious to the point it's not, Jojo Rabbit is a dark satire that is a must-see this fall.

Darkly humorous with a biting edge, Bong Joon Ho's 'Parasite' is a masterpiece of storytelling. Greed, classicism, and horror are wrapped in a hysterical package that will leave you in stitches. Fans of Bong's work won't be disappointed. Make sure you don't miss this movie!

The City of Mesa is getting its first film festival. And as a native who grew up in the largest Phoenix suburb, I have to say...it’s about time!!
The man behind it is Indian Antao. He also started the Mesa Music Festival. Hailing from New Jersey, he fell in love with Arizona after visiting during the Super Bowl in 2015. I caught up with him at the lounge in the Delta Hotel in downtown Mesa to find out how the inaugural Mesa International Film Festival came to be. Festival runs now through October 20th.
