Movie of the Week for July 12-18, 2021

After a 14-month delay due to COVID-19, we finally got to see the latest film in the “Marvel Cinematic Universe,” Black Widow (Marvel Studios, 2021). And I believe it was worth the wait!

Movie of the Week for July 5-11, 2021

This week’s film is the terrific documentary from Questlove called Summer of Soul (…Or When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (Searchlight Pictures, 2021). I watched this excellent film on my computer at this year’s virtual Sundance Film Festival, so it was an extra treat to get to experience it on the big screen.
