I attended Fantastic Fest last September in Austin TX and had the opportunity to view Shin Ultraman during the film festival, with the director in attendance. The film is most entertaining, and it was a treat to be able to pose with the filmmaker in the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar. If you were not at… Continue reading SHIN ULTRAMAN
Austin Film Festival 2022: THE WHALE
If anyone where to look at how actor Brendan Frasier appears in the poster of this movie, and the title, it is easy to think this film is simply an exercise in fat shaming.

Fantastic Fest 2022: BONES AND ALL
From acclaimed director Luca Guadagnino comes his adaptation of the 2015 horror/romance novel of the same name. Though I have not read Camile DeAngelis’ book, Bones and All, and knew absolutely nothing about the story, I attended this Fantastic Fest screening simply because it was directed by Guadagnino. After having much admiration for some of… Continue reading Fantastic Fest 2022: BONES AND ALL
Austin Film Festival 2022: GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY
For the closing night film of this year’s Austin Film Festival comes the excitedly-awaited sequel to Rian Johnson’s acclaimed murder mystery Knives Out.
