SXSW 2022: EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE

Los guionistas y directores Dan Kwan y Daniel Scheinert (conocidos como Daniels) crearon Everything Everywhere All at Once para transmitir su historia usando el multiverso (como se ve en el tráiler). Es un uso muy creativo de ciencia ficción y acción para ver el núcleo de una historia familiar sobre la vida, la familia, la… Continue reading SXSW 2022: EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE

SXSW 2022: EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE

The opening night film of this year’s SXSW Film Festival is a brilliant offering from “Daniels,” the mad and visionary filmmaking duo who came up with the wild cinematic insanity that is Swiss Army Man.

SXSW 2022: PRETTY PROBLEMS

We all get into ruts – with our relationships, our careers, and our daily lives. We also often want a different life than the one dealt to us – especially if it means financial freedom and a carefree existence.

This is the writer/director West’s second… Continue reading SXSW 2022: LINOLEUM

SXSW: APOLLO 10 1/2

The name “Boomer” seems to have a super negative connotation for some – namely millennials, but I am proud to have grown up when drinking out of the hose, climbing trees, having dirt fights, swimming in the resaca, catching fireflies, playing freeze tag, family game night, and the Wonderful World of Disney were cool.  Richard… Continue reading SXSW: APOLLO 10 1/2

SXSW 2022: THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’s title sums it up. Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal star in this laugh-out-loud, utterly silly, action-packed homage to Cage himself. Director/co-writer Tom Gormican with Kevin Etten has created a wild and hilarious farce with leads who have excellent and excitingly entertaining chemistry. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent pleases… Continue reading SXSW 2022: THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT
