Movie Review – Ne Zha 2
—
Full disclosure: Prior to seeing this sequel, I had not seen the 2019 blockbuster original. Kind of a mistake, to be sure, but I made due. Also, by personal admission, I am in no way an expert in Chinese mythology, moreover as it relates to animated features. Yes, in regards to this genre, I am…

Movie Review—Na Zhe (part 1)
—
My wife and I watched the first part of the Na Zhe movie last night. (For free on YouTube.) I’m curious to see how Na Zhe 2 will pick up the story. I’m pretty sure they’ll have a few minutes in the beginning devoted to what’s happened so far. Na Zhe 2 is about 2 1/2 hours long,…

The Birth of Na Zhe—English translation
—
in FantasyThe story of Ne Zhe covers only three of the 100 chapters of the book Investiture of the Gods; a book that is arguably more familiar to Chinese children than the New Testimate Bible is to American children.

Movie Review – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
—
I’ve changed my mind about Sorcerer’s Stone (really, Philosopher’s Stone, thank you) over the years: it’s a lot more fun, colorful, and downright magical, if you will, than the latter films in the series. It’s worn well over time. Things are relatively low-stakes as we get to know our main characters and this universe. Plus, I…

Movie Review – Better Man
—
Initially, I wasn’t certain that I wanted to plunk down coin to see this movie. Now, I am very glad that I did. The reason why I was hesitant was simply because there are countless biopics about musicians who achieve fame only to be brought down by substance abuse. As such, the lion share of…

Movie Review – Nosferatu
—
Nosferatu is a cinematic masterpiece—especially the first half of the movie. I fully expect this movie will have an influence on noir filmmakers in the near future. The acting was a mixed bag. Lily-Rose Depp (Daughter of Johnny) was outstanding. And kudos to the writers—Robert Eggers, Henrik Galeen—for writing a script that would challenge Lily-Rose…
