Science Friction (2022)

If in doubt, verify information you see in media

[8/10 · 12 June 2022]

This is a serious effort to demonstrate how documentaries are often more about cherry-picking "facts" and distorting the words of qualified interviewees. Even shows on venerable platforms can be guilty of this. The truth is, all media is aimed at making money, but many are purveying a view of the world that is either unscientific, or obviously misleading.

You especially want your children to see and understand what is presented here.

Staycation (2022)

A Universal Love Story

[8/10 · 28 April 2022]

Staycation has much to admire. It's a classic couple drama, but manages to include humor and real emotion. The story is universal in a literary sense. Although the main characters are all Black, the story they are living touches all of us. It could just as easily apply to gay couples. We've all lived these things. Add to this a great soundtrack, excellent casting, acting and directing and you have a great experience in a normal 90 minute film. Watch it with your best friend, especially if that happens to be your spouse.
