REVIEW: By: Lana K. Wilson-Combs
Keira Knightley shines in the riveting crime drama "Boston Strangler" from director/screenwriter Matt Ruskin ("Crown Heights").
"Boston Strangler," which is streaming on Hulu, is based on the shocking true story of the famed Boston Strangler, who in the 1960s murdered 15 women in Boston, Massachusetts.
The police initially seemed to drag their feet on the case until a feisty and determined reporter named Loretta McLaughlin (an excellent Knightley) kept digging, and along with veteran reporter Jean Cole (Carrie Coon, TV's "The Gilded Age"), broke the story for the Boston Record-American.
As much as the film lays out the grisly details surrounding the murders, "Boston Strangler" also spotlights the overt sexism the women faced as journalists.
Lorretta was always intrigued with the case. She began connecting the dots that the police couldn't. Even so, her editor Jack Maclaine (a terrific Chris Cooper, "Irresistible") who didn't want to make the police look bad, believed that Knightley wasn't cut out for that story and should stick with writing pieces on household products for the women's section of the paper. Lorretta's ideas weren't valued and were often dismissed.
It took a lot of persuasion and stone-cold evidence to convince her editor that she was on to something. Over time, he realized that this story was growing and simply too big to ignore. Women throughout Boston were understandably frightened, especially the elderly and those who lived alone since they were the primary targets of the Boston Strangler.
Lorretta's persistence finally paid off. She was teamed with her fellow reporter Cole (Coon) who also had to contend with sexism on the job and even while dealing with law enforcement.
Surely two women couldn't be smarter and work harder than the lead investigators, Det. Conley (Alessandro Nivola, ("Amsterdam") and Det. Donovan (Michael Malvesti, "Free Guy"). Det. Conley was however, more receptive to Loretta. He had his doubts about the police investigation. He quietly worked with Loretta and gave her tips on the case to pursue.
Their journalistic integrity and truth seeking came with a price especially for Lorretta. Her all in at all hour’s research on the case affected her marriage. Her supportive husband, James (Morgan Spector, "Nanny") believed she was putting their lives at risk.
Like most people when the police arrested Albert DeSalvo (David Dastmalchian, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania") for the murders and he was sentenced to life in prison in 1967, James thought it was over and things would get back to normal for them.
Yet, Lorretta wasn't convinced DeSalvo was the murderer and kept pursuing the story even when everyone suggested it was time to move on.
The Boston Strangler story is fascinating. The debate regarding Albert DeSalvo's guilt or innocence has been a topic of interest ever since the release of the 1968 movie "The Boston Strangler" starring Tony Curtis as DeSalvo and Henry Fonda as John S. Bottomly, the chief detective who obtained DeSalvo's confession.
With "Boston Strangler," director/screenwriter Matt Ruskin has made a stylish and captivating crime drama that will likely bring the conversation to the forefront once again.

Title: The Black Phone
Year Released: 2022
Running Time: 103
Production Company: Universal/Blumhouse
Director: Scott Derrickson
Review By: Lana K. Wilson-Combs
"THE BLACK PHONE"
Without a doubt, the horror film "The Black Phone" will rank high on my Top 20 Movies List for 2022. The film, which stars a wickedly entertaining Ethan Hawke is directed and co-written by Scott Derrickson who collaborated with Hawke on 2012's "Sinister."
"The Black Phone" is based on the 2004 short story by Stephen King's son, Joe Hill and is set during the 1970s in a suburban, Colorado town. Hawke plays against type as an evil, masked child serial killer known as "The Grabber."
Although "The Black Phone" pays homage to classic horror films like "It" and "Halloween," there is a refreshing and distinctive vibe to it that is far from predictable and every bit of eerie.
"The Grabber" (Hawke) is on the prowl for young boys. He drives a black van with the logo “Abracadabra” on it and goes to schools and parks, hoping to lure his next victim with his magic tricks. This lunatic dresses in garish clothing and carries around black balloons and some kind of spray that makes kids unconscious after he grabs and tosses them inside the van.
Meanwhile, Finney Shaw (Mason Thames, "Evel") and his sister Gwen (Madeleine McGraw, "The Mitchells vs. The Machines" and "A Christmas Wish"), are good, smart kids. Not only do they have to fear "The Grabber," but also their abusive and alcoholic father Terrence (Jeremy Davies, TV's "The Rookie" and "FBI"). Their dad hasn't been the same since their mother died. Now, he finds more comfort in drinking. He is easily agitated by most everything Finney and Gwen do around the house and often yells at them for no good reason. He's quick to use his belt too.
Gwen has a special gift. Not only can she sound off a slew of profanities with the best adult, but she also has these very realistic and vivid dreams that often come true. It's too bad Finney isn't as brave as she is because he's constantly bullied at school.
When Finney's baseball friend Bruce (Tristan Pravong, "Forever and a Day") is the first to go missing, Gwen has a bad feeling. It gets worse as more neighborhood boys disappear including Robin (newcomer, Miguel Cazarez Mora) a karate kid who rescued Finney from getting a beat down and who became his best friend.
Then while walking home, Finney runs into "The Grabber.” He asks Finney if he wants to see a magic trick. Finney starts talking to the guy. No Finney. Don't talk to strangers. Run. Within seconds, “The Grabber” covers him in balloons and throws him in the van.
When Finney awakes, he is in a dark basement with a locked door and barred window. A black dial-up wall phone that is not connected, somehow rings and soon Finney is talking with the "ghosts" of the previous victims. Although they weren't successful, they offer various tips for Finney on how to escape from "The Grabber."
However, all of Finney's attempts at escaping—and he mightily tries nearly everything--initially fail. He’s convinced he’ll never get away even as two of the city's top detectives, Miller (Troy Rudeseal, "Halloween Kills") and Wright (E. Roger Mitchell, "A Jazzman's Blues") are working around the clock to find “The Grabber.” Fortunately, they get a big asset from Gwen who has had a vivid dream that may lead directly to the house where Finney is.
Nearly every minute of this movie is suspenseful. The last 40 minutes are particularly exciting, and the jump-scares are well earned including a head-splitting scene involving a humorous James Ransome ("It Chapter Two") who plays Max, the brother of "The Grabber."
Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw will get my "Critics Choice Awards" vote for best young actors because they are excellent. However, it is Hawke's ghastly performance that will make you never want to talk to strangers.
(Highly Recommended).

Title: Meat Me Halfway
Year Released: 2021
Running Time: 80
Production Company: Reducetarian Productions
Director: Brian Kateman
Review By: Lana K. Wilson-Combs
"MEAT ME HALFWAY"
“Meat Me Halfway” is a new eye-opening documentary directed and written by Brian Kateman, founder and leader of the Reducetarian Organization. Kateman’s movement takes a guided and practical approach to addressing the harmful effects that eating meat has on people and the planet.
In case you are wondering what "Reducetarianism" is, well, it’s a concept that Kateman--a former vegetarian--crafted that encourages people to not avoid meat entirely, but simply reduce their consumption of it. Kateman believes this a more realistic approach rather than brow-beating people into becoming a strict vegetarian or vegan.
It’s a smaller step, but nevertheless he says is an effective one since people would still be helping to save the environment from increased greenhouse gas emissions and climate change as well as safeguard their health.
However, as Kateman, who is based in New York City discovers during his investigative journey—which leads him to a pig slaughterhouse in Los Angeles and a “ethically raised/slaughter” animal farm in Georgia and several points in between--there are strong and varying viewpoints from meat lovers and vegetarians/vegans.
Kateman is often ridiculed--even by his own skeptical parents--and other meat-eaters for his stance of “eating less meat.” He also angers animal rights activists who believe his position is counterproductive to theirs.
“Meat Me Halfway” features several notable scholars, scientists, doctors, and writers sharing their views on climate change and the cost of eating healthy. Michele Simon who is the founder of the Plant Based Foods Association notes that “taste,” “price” and “convenience” are the three most powerful drivers of food choices. She states that marketing and the environment people live in shapes their everyday food choices.
That’s a big reason why Olympia Auset started SUPRMARKT, the first organic produce pop-up in South Los Angeles to provide fresh and healthy vegetables and fruits to her community. The lack of major grocery stores in black and brown communities is alarming and that needs to change adds Eric Adams, Borough President of Brooklyn New York. Auset and Adams maintain it's important to make healthy food accessible and affordable to everyone.
“Meat Me Halfway” lays it all out there but doesn’t take a stand in the end. Instead, the viewer is left to chew on all the information, draw their own conclusions and make their own decisions. It is a highly informative and well-done documentary.
(Highly Recommended).
"Meat Me Halfway" is available July 20 on VOD and streaming platforms.
