As we prepare for the opening of theaters and the return to normal life practices, we want to remind people that we are still within the thralls of a pandemic, and recommend people check out our article on “If You Should Go Out” Here. Until then though, if you do go to a theater make sure it has a policy of requiring attendees to wear masks, and sit in isolated groups out of proximity of other viewers.
Clean – Releasing in Theaters and Streaming
Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – 33%
After a life of violence, a garbage man, played by Adrien Brody, finds himself back into the fire when his good deed puts him in the crosshairs of a local crime boss. Now he must find a way through the mess to return to his quiet life.
The movie isn’t duing too well for reviews, but if you are looking for a fun and fast paced action film with a little bit of heart, then this film will fit the bill. It’s not A History of Violence, or Nobody, but it’s in that same vein.
Cyrano – Releasing in Theaters
Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – 84%
A story of a love triangle. Cyrano de Bergerac, played by Peter Dinklage, is a skilled man when it comes to words or swords, but his love interest Roxanne, played by Haley Bennett, has eyes for the attractive Christian, played by Kelvin Harrison Jr., and he for her. However Christian isn’t as skilled as Cyrano, so he comes to the gentleman for help.
The last re-imagining of this tale was the much loved last Roxanne, a Steve Martin film. While that film was a pure comedy, this film stands out more as a drama with amazing acting, and beautiful cinematography.

Now they are in danger of in the sea, surrounded by great white sharks. Now Jaelyn must keep the predators at bay as they wait and hope for salvation.
Sharks are so readily turned into the villains of so many stories, and it’s not really a question why. They are large and formidable creatures with powerful and destructive jaws. If you have a phobia of the creatures, and enjoy being scared, I would highly recommend this film.

If you are looking for an artistic drama that can hold your attention, then you should watch this film.
