I like whacky films as much as the next guy. Cowriters/directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert take on familiar themes at a breakneck pace, taking the best advantage of their impressive cast. Plot twists, action, weirdness, bizarre, asinine, silly, riotous – sign me up. Everything, Everywhere, All at Once goes beyond these descriptors and offers… Continue reading SXSW: EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, ALL AT ONCE

THE BATMAN
Múltiples generaciones han visto historias sobre Batman desde 1939 cuando debutó en los cómics, luego en novelas gráficas, televisión, más tecnología a través de juegos electrónicos y, por supuesto, películas. La década de 1960 tuvo una serie de televisión de Batman, y las películas que comenzaron a fines de la década de 1980 fueron dirigidas… Continue reading THE BATMAN
THE BATMAN
Director Matt Reeves’ take on the Dark Knight has arrived and the results are absolutely amazing. I am sure there are some people wondering what makes his version of Batman so great, and I would have to say, that he absolutely gets how a dark, gritty and pulpy Dark Knight detective movie should look, live… Continue reading THE BATMAN
AFTER YANG
Well, it appears that there are two movies featuring actor Colin Farrell opening this weekend. One movie features Farrell, heavily made up and in a suit that helps him embody the character of the Penguin, in Matt Reeves’ new take on the Dark Knight called The Batman. The other is a more subtle, but still… Continue reading AFTER YANG
LUCY AND DESI
While Amazon Prime’s Being the Ricardos offers a fascinating portrayal of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz during a particular span of time in their lives, Amazon Prime’s documentary Lucy and Desi offers a much more comprehensive story. Written by Mark Monroe and directed by Amy Poehler, this wonderful documentary film tells the complete story of… Continue reading LUCY AND DESI
SKIPPING STONES
Now available on multiple SVOD platforms is an emotionally charged independent film that touches upon the powerful feelings of grief, guilt, and how people struggle with the recovery from these forms of distress. Written by Rich Cirillo and directed by S J Creazzo, Skipping Stones may be, at times, a tough movie to watch, but… Continue reading SKIPPING STONES
The Pilot: A Battle for Survival
I can’t help but wonder how many little boys or girls dream of flying planes. Do most youngsters want to design games or engineer the next best tech tool? In my mind, being a pilot seems like a life of glamour and excitement. And then there is the thrill of controlling something so … well,… Continue reading The Pilot: A Battle for Survival
CYRANO
I have seen a few adaptations of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, but I have never previously experienced a musical version that has touched my heart like this new movie by Joe Wright. Taking a very different approach, Wright’s film emphasizes the more sad and tragic aspects of the original story and takes it into… Continue reading CYRANO
THE CURSED
Writer/director Sean Ellis takes on the werewolf horror subgenre and gives it a slightly different spin that offers commentary and some fictional social justice on the ugly truths of colonization. Though the movie has its moments that lack intensity, it also has its share of memorably horrific and suspenseful sequences that are sure to keep… Continue reading THE CURSED
DOG
Going into this movie, I was worried that it would simply retread so much familiar material that often comes with similar movies of this subgenre. If one has already watched K9 or Turner and Hooch, then they know exactly what I mean. A troublesome dog gets mismatched with a human who previously has had no… Continue reading DOG
