Movie Review – Snow White
—
The new Snow White falls flat, failing to capture the enchanting essence of a Disney blockbuster. Instead, it feels forced, lacking the special magic that the studio is renowned for. The casting choices feel misaligned, detracting from the film’s potential. Gal Gadot, despite her star power, delivers a performance that is surprisingly painful to watch,…

Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets
—
This is one of the early films with charm and whimsy and I’m there for it. What I don’t like is the spiders, but most of the movie is fun — it’s held up well over the years. What is interesting is that there are different levels of charm and world building over the movies:…

Think of the best movie you’ve ever seen—a movie where every scene and every line of dialogue is a work of art. Now, imagine the exact opposite of that. That movie is twice as good as this one. To be fair, the production quality of this movie is impressive. The crew behind the stages, costumes,…

Movie Review – Mickey 17
—
What an unexpected experience. The movie obviously looks quirky from the trailer, but I wasn’t expecting the political/cultural satire. Although, considering that the movie is written/directed by Bong Joon Ho (Parasite, Snowpiercer, Mother) I shouldn’t be surprised. Like Bong’s previous works, the satire here isn’t subtle—it’s biting and deliberate. The film uses its science-fiction setting…

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. You can see the entire book Investiture of the Gods on the Internet Archive. Below is a copy of the…
