Fly Me to the Moon, Landing Safely

Fly Me to the Moon is a solid film, like a flight in which you fear some turbulence, but in the end, the pilot handles it safely, yet not quite expertly. The movie was good enough, especially considering the other strange agents out in theaters right now. I’ll get to the main problem right away;… Continue reading Fly Me to the Moon, Landing Safely

Janet Planet, What in the World?

I may be related to Annie Baker, since her debut movie Janet Planet is a globalist perspective film, to the beat of a different drummer project like I might do. Janet Planet employs a passionate slapped on sculpture technique where you can feel the mass amount of thought and work to get to a final… Continue reading Janet Planet, What in the World?

Daddio Rests on Two Strong Acting Pillars

If it weren’t for the glow of Dakota Johnson and the antique gold of Sean Penn, Daddio might be a bit of a yawn. Don’t get me wrong, the story is well done, but almost as more of a short than a full length film. But the messages are definitely important and necessary. One: connect… Continue reading Daddio Rests on Two Strong Acting Pillars

The Dead Don’t Hurt & the immobile don’t live

Viggo Mortensen is truly amazing. Not only did he write, direct and star in The Dead Don’t Hurt, he wrote the score as well! After seeing Ezra the night before with it’s cloying music and night scenes, what a breath of fresh air and sunshine to hear Viggo’s music paired with Marcel Zyskind’s wide open… Continue reading The Dead Don’t Hurt & the immobile don’t live

Ezra, Pound of Truthful Story Telling

There’s a line that Bobby Cannavale delivers to his autistic son in the new movie Ezra, the gist of which is that everything isn’t going to be pretty in life. How true, how true, which is the beauty of the movie Ezra. Other essential honest possibilities occurred: Robert De Niro’s character can be a jerk… Continue reading Ezra, Pound of Truthful Story Telling

Wildcat ushers two new words for A.I.: Artistic & Inspirational

Wildcat, an artistic avenue to take for the sad old tire called the biopic, was written by Shelby Gaines and Ethan Hawke, and also directed by the latter. Based on the tortured life of Flannery O’Connor, the film stars Maya Hawke, Ethan’s daughter, Laura Linney, Cooper Hoffan, Steve Zahn and even a cameo by Liam… Continue reading Wildcat ushers two new words for A.I.: Artistic & Inspirational

Give a Guy a (Coup de) Chance

While I didn’t love Coup de Chance, I always want to respect my elders, especially those with brilliant comic minds. And while mountains of propaganda have been used to turn the U.S. against Woody Allen, few have done the due diligence to weigh other options such as a scorned woman who manipulates her children to… Continue reading Give a Guy a (Coup de) Chance

The Beast: Past, Present and Few…Days Away

Like the writer and director Bertrand Bonello, the present AI situation is already spooky. So much so, he framed one third of his film The Beast in 2044. He said he’d never do it again though because in reality, by the time the film was finished, he felt 2044 looked more like 2027. The film… Continue reading The Beast: Past, Present and Few…Days Away
