Film Review – The Magician’s Elephant

March 16th, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The Magician’s Elephant (2023) is an animated fantasy that operates by the numbers. It’s colorful, bright, and has a strong central message about never giving up. Characters believe that anything is possible if we push beyond our comfort zones. There’s nothing egregious about the film –…

SXSW Review – If You Were the Last

March 16th, 2023 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

Sometimes a SXSW screening is chosen just because you love the actors involved, regardless of everything else.  The choices do not always work out, and you see a not-so-great film.  In the case of If You Were the Last (2023), the opposite happens, and it…

SXSW Review – Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

March 13th, 2023 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

Dungeons & Dragons has long been a game played by kids who grew into adults or just adults who fell in love with the gameplay and imaginative scenarios.  Personally, I never played the game; my only exposure is through films and television shows.  For some…

Film Review – Scream VI

March 12th, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

When the first Scream (1996) was released, it revitalized and recontextualized the horror/slasher genre. It was a self-aware send up, upending the tropes established in the 1980s. The result was such a surprise that it felt like anything could happen – no one was safe, the killer…

February 22nd, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

We all want a better life, but what lengths should we go to obtain it? Is wealth and privilege worth suppressing our very souls?  That is at the heart of writer/director Nathaniel Martello-White’s feature length debut, The Strays (2023). He weaves a tale that has beats of the horror…

Film Review – Hidden Blade

February 16th, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

There are few films that evoke atmosphere and mood as well as Er Cheng’s Hidden Blade (2023). A spy thriller set in Japanese-occupied China during the height of WWII, the tone and visuals have such rich textures that every frame looks like an oil painting. Compositions place characters…
