Herald-Banner movie reviewer Alice Reese says Mel Gibson's first film in 10 years is Oscar-worthy.  "Hacksaw Ridge" is the story of a pacifist Army medic who saved dozens of lives at the Battle of Okinawa near the end of World War II.  Alice also reviews the Disney sci-fi fantasy, "Dr. Strange."

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
