Film Review – My Father’s Dragon

November 12th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Cartoon Saloon, the studio responsible for the acclaimed animated features Song of the Sea (2014) and The Secret of Kells (2009) has returned with yet another marvel in My Father’s Dragon (2022). The film is reminiscent of the best Studio Ghibli efforts, in how it mixes fantasy and adventure with real life themes.…

Film Review – Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

November 6th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Growing up, Weird Al Yankovic existed in a strange place in my memory, which he would probably take as a compliment. With his curly hair, mustache, and accordion, I always knew him as the musician who made those funny parodies of popular songs. As I got older,…

Film Review – Causeway

November 3rd, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

After a decade of high-profile projects and big budget franchise work, seeing Jennifer Lawrence in a smaller character piece is a welcomed change of pace. Her performance in Causeway (2022) is a reminder that she is not just one of the biggest stars in the movie business, but one…

Film Review – All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)

October 29th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) begins with a powerful opening sequence. We open on a field of dead German soldiers, victims of WWI trench warfare. We see the bodies transported to a mass grave, but the journey doesn’t stop there. The camera follows their…

Film Review – My Policeman

October 20th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

There is one glaring omission with My Policeman (2022), and it is passion. Forbidden love, social conventions, guilt, and forgiveness are all key ingredients for a romantic drama. While those elements are certainly here, the final product is undercooked. This is a stuffy affair. Its languid approach…

Film Review – Decision to Leave

October 20th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

If there is one thing to expect from South Korean director Park Chan-wook, it’s the unexpected. From The Vengeance Trilogy, Thirst (2009), Stoker (2013), and The Handmaiden (2016), Park is a master of keeping us on our toes. Even when we have a familiarity with his set up, he has a knack for…

Film Review – Triangle of Sadness

October 14th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Ruben Östlund, writer/director of the masterful Force Majeure (2014), is back to once again question and deconstruct commonly held social beliefs. Instead of looking at the institution of marriage and the roles of husbands and wives, Östlund casts a wider net in Triangle of Sadness (2022). Winner of the…

Rosaline4

Film Review – Rosaline

October 13th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Rosaline (2022) delivers a new twist to the Romeo & Juliet story – well, kind of. Instead of focusing on the doomed relationship of our famous lovers, this version takes a background character and brings them to the forefront. For those that may not remember: in William Shakespeare’s tragic…
