Film Review: Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.
(Akiit.com) (**) The thrill is gone. The Marvel Universe shoots a blank. A tiny one. Arguably, the itty-bitty Ant-Man and The Wasp aren’t the most impressive superheroes. So, any new adventure for the self-promoting, mildly amusing Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), aka Ant-Man, and his sidekick/lover Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), aka The Wasp, has got to be a blast. Otherwise, both will continue to be... [Read more of this review]
Movie Review: Knock at the Cabin.
(Akiit.com) (**) Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For some reason veteran director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense) has decided to put a lot of bad juju vibes out into the world. If you’re curious, read on. It’s an unusual premise, but so what. Four strangers (Dave Bautista, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Abby Quinn, Rupert Grint) think really bad things will happen. They feel they’ve...

Film Review: Missing.
(Akiit.com) (***1/2) Sometimes when mom and dad are away, the kids will play. But what happens when mom and dad don’t comeback. Then what? The writers and directors of this amazing, tech-savvy mystery thriller know how to cut things close. That’s because they were the editors on the cult classic Searching. Back in 2018, that taut dra/hor/mys starred John Cho and built its fear from the ground... [Read more of this review]

Movie Review: House Party.
(Akiit.com) (**1/2) Bringing the ‘90s back is hard work. So hard this new House Party reboot only gets half the job done. But when it’s on, it’s on. For those who were in a drug induced comma during 1990 (you know who you are), the duo Kid ‘n Play (Christopher Reid and Christopher Martin) threw a House Party that brought hip hop joy to the masses. How popular was it? Three more HP films... [Read more of this review]

He lied about where he works. He lied about creating a nonprofit organization called Friends of... [Read more of this review]

Politics: New judges are worth celebrating.
(Akiit.com) I’ve written about the importance of judges a few times over the last year. And every time I do, I realize that many people have never met a judge. Or they have, but it was at a time when they’d rather have been anywhere else. So the idea that judges are on my mind as something to celebrate this holiday season may strike you as strange. But bear with me. Since President Biden came into... [Read more of this review]
Movie Review; Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody.
(Akiit.com) (**1/2) It’s an illusion. When actress Naomi Ackie stands with her back to the camera, you stare at her clothes, wigs, physique and mannerisms and get tricked into thinking that’s Whitney Houston. Then she turns around, and it’s not. It’s a recurring mirage. A string of images that give Houston’s fans something to cling to. Veteran record executive Clive Davis met with screenwriter...

Mother Africa Must Heal Itself — And Not Rely on America.
(Akiit.com) There may be better ways to disrespect African leaders than President Joe Biden’s U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit earlier this month, but if there are, they do not readily come to mind.
