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. I went into this exciting beginning of the festival with high expectations, and the eccentric filmmaking partnership did not disappoint.… Continue reading SXSW 2022: EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE
MORBIUS
After viewing the trailer over the last few months, I honestly wasn’t anticipating very much from the film Morbius, a movie based on a Marvel Comics character. Directed by Daniel Espinosa (Safe House, 2012) based on the screenplay from Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless and Roy Thomas (Marvel comics), the film does provide more to… Continue reading MORBIUS

THE 94TH ACADEMY AWARDS
For most of the broadcast, the 2022 Oscars seemed to go without a hitch. The stars were all dressed well, filmmakers and actors received awards, musical numbers were performed, and the hosts and awards presenters made jokes. It wall all business as usual. That is, until one particular joke triggered a violent and controversial response.… Continue reading THE 94TH ACADEMY AWARDS
The Yellow Wallpaper
I haven’t taught in years, but when I did, “The Yellow Wallpaper,” a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, was a staple in the sophomore literature text. The film by the same name, adapted and directed by Kevin Pontuti, stays true (for all but the ending) to the source. Pontuti manages to capture the psychological… Continue reading The Yellow Wallpaper

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. With Pretty Problems, director Kestrin Pantera and screenwriter Michael Tennant explore age-old themes of self-worth, pride,… Continue reading SXSW 2022: PRETTY PROBLEMS
SXSW – TONY HAWK: UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF
My son’s first skateboard was a Tony Hawk board – I remember it well, and I remember how in awe my son was of the champion trickster. Hawk is not a stranger to documentaries, but Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off sheds more light on the skating phenom than others have and shares insights… Continue reading SXSW – TONY HAWK: UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF

SXSW 2022: THE LOST CITY
The Lost City is one of those movies that hopes to reignite a flame and love for escapist cinema through the romantically comedic action genre. I am sure there are people who will cry, “Rip Off!” after watching this movie. And that might be a fair thing to claim. However, I feel that the people… Continue reading SXSW 2022: THE LOST CITY
