If you watch the movies of Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan", and "The Wrestler") you know that they are often dark and look at the bad things of life. With this entry "Caught Stealing" set in late 1998 in New York City, it's a deep dive into a scary and complex underworld, where no one is whom them seem. Ex baseball player Hank(Austin Butler) who's now down on his luck and earning a living behind the bar and not the plate, and his life changes drastically all of a sudden one day when he's given a cat, soon he has a group of criminals hot on his tail. Thru it all no one is whom or what they seem as the film takes twist and turns with action, car chases, and blood and violence. The wild card character of the film is shady police detective Roman(the super great Regina King). The movie has also some funny moments and Hank has plenty of flashbacks of pain, sugar and spice and plenty of eye candy is given from Zoe Kravitz as she gives a sexy turn with her time on screen as Hank's sexy exotic girl Yvonne(loved the scenes of her in that orange/ red colored like bra, and the nipple rings were A okay!). Overall this may not be a classic from Darren still it's an entertaining thrill ride that after plenty of crashes ends with a man and his cat who have clawed the way to a new life to live happily ever after!

All of us are avid sports fans, I for one am and this short "Netflix" doc "The Turnaround" was one excellent behind the scenes feel good real life look at how sports teams and players shape one's life. Jon McCann a man who has his own personal and private issues is a lifelong Phillies baseball fan, and like many he feels the pain when newly signed all star shortstop Trea Turner has signed, yet struggles with a hitting slump. Thru it all Jon navigates life and deals with cheering Trea on it's like Turner gives him a motivation to live on! Overall touching and personally emotional doc that's a tribute to captain Jon and it makes you stand up and cheer for Turner and the Fighting Phils! Also the doc short was executive produced by former president Obama and the just fine and sexy former first lady Michelle.

If you watch any movies from the Coen brothers you know that they are entertaining, fun, and blunt and brash, and end with you making your own call! And that fits this latest "Honey Don't!" which was directed by Ethan Coen. Set in Bakersfield, California the film begins with a strange murder, and the picture sprawls out and connects characters and things up and together. Thru it all everything seems to be tied back to a local church which is ran by a creepy sex crazy minister (Chris Evans). Small town P. I. Donahue (Margaret Qualley) is all over things investigating only things get more complex with deaths, missing people and a little of this and that. Look for good supporting turns with Charlie Day as a lazy detective and Aubrey Plaza as MG as a shady small town deputy sheriff. Plus the film is spiced with much and plenty of kinky sex scenes and women wearing sexy colored bras, and nipple scenes too!(plenty of eye candy). For sure this film really has much on the plate, and it's a tasty entertaining digest, only it seems to end all of a sudden and you the viewer are left forming your own take. Still the film was a sexy fun joy ride to watch.
