Brief Thoughts: ‘Schindler’s List’ 25 Years Later

Image
I really enjoy putting my reviews together.  I honestly wish I could delve deeper into certain movies, but alas, I get incredibly busy and can sometimes only deal with films to a briefer extent than I would prefer.  This is why I write these occasional "Brief Thoughts" posts on movies I have seen, as I want to at least offer some of my own perspective on them.  They may not be as polished, but I can at least get my opinions out there. This extended edition of "Brief Thoughts" features feelings on Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

Weekly Recap: The Founder, Split, xXx: Return of Xander Cage & More!

Image
This week sees the release of M. Night Shyamalan's Split and there is a literal split in terms of potential profits, as it is up against Vin Diesel's xXx: Return of Xander Cage. Also opening wide is The Founder, which finds Michael Keaton as Ray Kroc, the "founder" of McDonald's. Also worth noting is the limited release of The Red Turtle and wide expansion of 20th Century Women. I've not reviewed them, but both are quite good. A bunch of new home release are out this week as well, along with some new trailers and other news. Lastly, be sure to check out our Silencepodcast, as we cover some great ground on it and more. Enjoy!
