    MINARI w/ Q&A

    March 19, 2021 /

    MOUNTAIN DEW, THE ELIXIR OF LIFE Soon-ja is not your typica,l docile, Korean senior citizen.  She’s full of energy, cuss words, likes to joke around and play cards. You’d think the kids would love meeting a grandma such as this, but instead, Anne is politely weary, and David just out and out tells her she’s not what he wants “Real grandmothers bake cookies! Real grandmothers don’t swear!”

    Kajillionaire

    September 22, 2020 /

    “It is, among many other things, a metaphor for generational dissent, of breaking from tradition and expectation and customs that just don’t work anymore.”– writer/director Miranda July. (Me and You and Everyone We Know, No One Belongs Here More Than You and It Chooses You) none of which I’ve seen, but am now curious to go back and visit. The filmmaker’s “Kajillionaire” description really struck me, because it’s a movie I didn’t expect to identify with in anyway. But when looked at in this light, I realize I do.  My mother has gotten to an age where she wants company more often and hates that me and my siblings don’t…

    IRRESISTIBLE by Writer/Director Jon Stewart

    June 24, 2020 /

    As you might guess, “Irresistible” is a political satire making commentary on the exhausting and corrosive constant election cycle, media consultants, campaign finance and political party machinery. Gary Zimmer (Steve Carell) is a Democratic campaign spinner, consultant, strategist in Washington DC, one of his staff brings him a YouTube video of a guy in the heartland of Wisconsin, retired Marine Colonel Jack Hastings (Chris Cooper), shown making an impassioned speech during a Town Hall meeting about caring for those fallen on hard times since the closing of the town’s military base, which shrunk the town population from 15,000 to 5,000 practically overnight, destroying their economy.

    AD ASTRA

    October 1, 2019 /

    AD ASTRA otherwise known as “Brad Pitt in Space”, feels as if Pitt looked at his body of work and thought Damon, Clooney, McConaughey and Hanks all have space movies under their belts.  If I’m gonna leave a legacy, I’ve got to get in on the astronaut game and check that off my list; and this is why we have AD ASTRA (the title is Latin for “to the stars”). The film is set in the near future and centers around the interplanetary and emotional journey of astronaut Major Roy McBride (Brad Pitt) who has followed in the footsteps of his famous astronaut father Clifford McBride (Tommy Lee Jones) who…
