Cinema Cindy Reviews: Knives Out

By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos

“Knives Out” seems at first a simple ‘whodunit’ murder mystery. But, over its 2 hours and 10 minutes, the initial, simple explanation of who is to blame gets increasingly complex.

An ensemble cast of many familiar faces (and a few new ones) adds fun to the drama. Happily, this story about a mysterious death turns into a dark comedy with laugh out loud twists.

Cinema Cindy Reviews: Midway

By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
(with technical help from Paul Bradley)
Los Alamos

“Midway” opened in time for Veteran’s Day this year, a truly epic film with a stellar cast.

It excels in its historical accuracy and storytelling, due in part to Japanese participation in the film’s production. It must be said that, since the 1976 film of the same name, far greater visual accuracy is now possible, thanks to Computer Generated Imagery (CGI).
