Film Review – Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

December 26th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

2022 has given us a wealth of murder mysteries and “whodunnits,” each having various levels of success. Writer/director Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) stands near the top of the heap. A follow up to his hit Knives Out (2019), Johnson takes us on another romp with…

Film Review – The Whale

December 22nd, 2022 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

The word-of-mouth and promotion of The Whale (2022) have been in full force since Cannes.  Even when we didn’t know what it was about, other than Brendan Fraser being in a fat suit, people clamored to learn more about the film.  There hasn’t been a…

Film Review – Avatar: The Way of Water

December 18th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

If there’s one thing James Cameron cannot be accused of, it’s taking the easy route. Whether it’s killer aliens, cyborgs from the future, or the sinking of an unsinkable ship, Cameron has always strived to push the limits of movie showmanship. But it’s not just the special…

Film Review – Babylon

December 16th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

If La La Land (2016) was Damien Chazelle’s ode to the romantic dream that is Hollywood, then Babylon (2022) is his impression of it as a nightmare. This is Tinseltown at its worst – a land of decadence, drugs, sex, and death. The allure of fame is an addiction,…

Film Review – Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio

December 8th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022) is a mesmerizing stop motion animated film. No stranger to fantasy and horror, del Toro – along with co-director Mark Gustafson – have taken a timeless story and breathed new life into it. This is not the same Pinocchio of the 1940 Disney…

Film Review – Lady Chatterley’s Lover

December 3rd, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Stories involving infidelity can be tricky because an audience is sometimes asked to side with the cheaters. People sneaking around having affairs doesn’t automatically draw a rooting interest. There had better be a good reason for a character to do so, otherwise it will be…

Film Review – Nanny

December 2nd, 2022 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

Immigration can be a nightmare for those willing to risk coming to the United States.  I don’t live in a particularly pro-immigrant state politically, but the talking heads don’t always reflect the majority or all of the opinions.  What is evident is the sacrifice that…

Film Review – Bones and All

November 25th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Mixing elements of Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Badlands (1973), to even Twilight (2008) and Raw (2016), Bones and All (2022) is simultaneously a sweet romance and a bloody horror story. Director Luca Guadagnino covers areas he visited in Call Me by Your Name (2017) and Suspiria (2018). In both, he examined how young people learn to embrace themselves in ways they…
