America has 250 years of consistent foreign policy
                    The majority of Americans, furious over the Assad regime using poison gas on his own Syrian people, expressed approval of President Trump's attack on the Syrian airfield that launched the gas attack. When one sees such horrors, such as when American soldi                
                
            A sense of worthiness
                    Worthiness. Where does it come from? Self-esteem, feeling valuable … beliefs we acquire, not qualities that are doled out to us before we’re born. Every child comes into the world ready to be loved and cared for. And then we arrive at a conclusion about o                
                
            Corny, action-packed, 'F8' understands what it is
                    This is a wash-rinse-repeat heist movie that has some heart, solid action and a dash of humor. Don’t expect anything else and you’ll be fine.                
                
            Lasting impressions
                    I feel fortunate to have the upbringing I had. Growing up in Washington D.C. with a bunch of wonderful kids in my neighborhood – kids from Greek and Jewish families, Catholics, Russians, Italians, Yugoslavians — how lucky was I to have been thrown into su

            Movie review: 'Power Rangers' tries, fails to be one-size-fits-all
                    There are some moments that are similar to “Chronicle,” Josh Trank’s 2012 film about three teenagers that stumble upon super powers, but there are also moments when director Dean Israelite’s “Power Rangers” feels like a Saturday cartoon.                
                
            Movie Review: All flash, no substance: 'Kong: Skull Island' underwhelming
                    If you are looking for destructive beast-vs-beast action you won’t be disappointed. If you’re looking for story, character development or good pacing and dialogue, you will be left wanting your money back.                
                
            Movie Review: 'A Cure for Wellness' not quite a comeback for Verbinski
                    “A Cure for Wellness” is not quite what I expected or would have wished for from Verbinski, but it challenged me enough that I can say I’m excited for him to do something similar but not as convoluted or heavy.                
                
            Movie Review: 'Rings':First you watch it. Then you die… of boredom
                    Director F. Javier Gutiérrez’s “Rings” is a disappointing disaster.
