Season Five 'Missing in America' Episode One 'The Day Zelig Vanished'
DATELINE series MISSING IN AMERICA (Season 5). This episode reaches 40 minutes with an in-depth investigation. I listened to this and it looks like it's foul play. In my opinion.. The male "Broadway" performer was lured out to that remote location. It had to be by someone he knew. His car was found, but his iPhone was missing. There are no signs of a struggle either. He just disappeared, or he had been taken, or murdered. His body has never been found.

Film Review 'Motor City' is throwback to Silent Movies 5-out-of-5 Stars*
MOTOR CITY distributed by INDEPENDENT FILM COMPANY (2026). This action movie opened in theaters on July 24, 2026. It stars a Alan Ritchson (Jack Reacher/Season 1-4).
I walked into a movie theater here at Albuquerque to watch this. When I sit on the edge of my seat throughout a film. That means that I love it and I did with this movie.
The story is simple. Set in Detroit back in 1977. A gangster pushes his girlfriend around outside a nightclub. John (Ritchson) beats up the gangster. The girlfriend leaves with John. The gangster buys off a police detective to set up John. They plant drugs in his car and he goes to prison. John seeks bloody revenge.
This is almost a Silent Film from the 1920's. There is maybe 15 words of dialogue. It's all musical score with several 1970's hit songs. I absolutely loved it.!
What the audience sees are so many "emotions" from each character. We also see what they "think" and "feel" through body movement. It is a rollercoaster ride. I felt every emotion by each character and with the sound-track.
That elevator scene was bloody and violent. It was packed with anger, rage, pain, desperation, strength, hope and vengeance. My eyes focused in on that bloody knife stuck in the floor. The battle and struggle to use it was so intense.... Wow.!!
I cannot say enough about this. What a great idea from the screenplay writer. It turned out to be a "feast" for the eyes. Check it out if you can.

Western Review 'The Isolate Thief' is Gritty, Cold, Brutal and Very Good 4-out-of-5 Stars*
THE ISOLATE THIEF from HIDE-OUT pictures (2026). The tagline for this Western is, "From the Producers of "Old Henry" (2022). That movie is one of the best Westerns in the last decade. (In My Opinion).
"The Isolate Thief" opened in select theaters last July 10, 2026. It never came to Albuquerque theaters. So, I rented it from "Apple-TV." I'm a huge fan of Westerns and this is sooo... good.!!
The story is simple. A young woman is the owner of an outpost during the Civil War. She discovers gold coins. A group of outlaws show up searching for those coins.
As it unfolds. She hides the coins but doesn't tell the outlaws she had found them. The leader of this gang is smart who suspects she stole those coins. He doesn't let on what he is searching for and asks for her help. He knows, that she knows, the outpost area well. It's mind games that eventually lead to violence.
I love authenticity. Especially if the story is set in the old west. The filmmakers spent money on costume design and it shows. The Outlaws show up in blue-coats representing the Yankees of the north. Plus, the backdrop is the bitter cold winter. Wolves hunt the outpost hogs and thieves hunt for gold coins. This young woman is alone and she appears weak. She stays ahead of the game though. Watch closely because you can see her and the villain "thinking."
This reminds me of the classic Westerns from the 1940's to the 1960's. Great story telling.
As a Native-Indigenous male. I enjoyed the Native man who is part of this outlaw gang. He is dressed like them, talks English and his hair is cut short. He isn't the Hollywood western stereotype. A "Savage Indian." Of course, we don't know his tribe or why he's taken up with this gang. We don't need to know because it's all about those gold coins.
"Isolate" comes to DVD Sept. 8, 2026. Check it out. I recommend it.
