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 – 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.

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…

Movie Review – Wicked

Let me say upfront that I’m not a fan of musicals, so I’m not the target audience. I could be the poster child for the inverse-target audience. So, if you’re a 57-year-old white guy who doesn’t like musicals, read on. 🙂 Just because I don’t like musicals doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate them. For instance,…
