Animal Love love story, a very clever and dear love story. I like anything Bong Joon Ho does, but find his social commentary often gets in the way. So, subtract that out here. It has little to do with his overlap of cinematic and story...

The 14 Directives of the sisterhood watched a number of films that are centred on choreographed ironic violence that failed to engage. I’ve also watched a number ‘female empowerment’ films — some of which are highly celebrated. One of these even was initiated by our...

Eye Outside no value here; this comment is about a key technique, and setting aside my aversion to the acting stance that Hopkins has settled into. I don’t think it quite earns the right to be a genre, but we do have ‘containment’ films, where...

Thirteen Monkeys wish I had seen this before "Twelve Monkeys." Except for "Fear and Loathing," Gilliam is artless (but reflexive). This is much more clever in how its manner (single images) reflects its story (how registration of images in the memory can fold time). Its a...

Dresses a small story is enough of an excuse to simply allow us the main value, which in this case is a swim in a Kodachrome past of 1959 Sydney. The title refers to the uniform required of the women who sold dresses at a downtown...

The Girls background, I am an American emigrated to Australia, someone particularly aware of embedded racism and misogyny in the US. It poisons the social contract that is behind the grand experiment that was the US. So I am curious about how similar dynamics have...

Cleopatra’s Omelet formula film with no merit whatever. Three highly paid characters more or less being themselves, which doesn’t add to much. There is some travel, and some action as per what the bosses like. Enough viewers seem to as well. Ms Gadot is pretty...

The Warped Forest (2011)

Ratty Accident of God things just come together for no apparent reason. And when they do, they are either of the Mozart type or Salieri types. Here's how to tell in films: no chances are taken -- no experiments are made -- everything is extremely...
