RAYA & THE LAST DRAGON Review – Get Your Tuk-Tuks Out

Posted on March 5, 2021March 5, 2021

I have always felt that these days, Disney-Slash-Pixar titles seem to get all of the attention in the animation game. Which in a way is alright (SOUL, the latest Pixar movie, was my #1 movie of 2020) but there is another aspect to Disney that gets overlooked these days is its Walt Disney Animation Studios department […]

MINARI review – A Slice of Life Presentation

Posted on March 2, 2021March 2, 2021

The film has a ‘slice of life’ presentation, as it follows a tumultuous period for a Korean family.  Moving from California, we join the family in their car, as they follow a moving […]

A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX review – Free Your Mind

Posted on February 23, 2021February 23, 2021

Ask yourself “Did you want to visit this website?” If you believe that our world might not exist, then your visit might be the result of forces beyond your understanding.  A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX (Rodney Ascher) explores the belief of simulation theory.

Ten Decades of Oscars: WINGS (1927)

Posted on February 21, 2021February 21, 2021

Hello! And welcome to a weekly feature I’ll be writing in the run-up to the 2020 Oscars on April 25th. I’m one of those idiots who still buys physical media—often an annual metric tonnage of it—and I’m also one of those idiots who can’t help but be swept up in the politics and the competition […]

This becomes a significant memory. The way the branches are described as dancers in the wind. It’s the […]
