One day, "Watashi" discovered mysterious traces in my garden. "Watashi" set up a camera to find out what it might be.

Camera as Soul First of all, I am a sucker for artisanal stop motion. I’ve even elevated a few to my must see list of ‘fours’. This clearly was something from a deep emotional drive, in the only solitary film medium. The art here is remarkable because...

How I Met Your Spy Mother Gosh, another film I cannot recommend from the trailer on. This script comes from a vending machine with the selections: ‘romantic comedy’, sexy girl superhero/Bond, two and a half big action sequences, with the governance in that order. It almost seems...

Samsinging I use Apple products. I probably would use them even if the experience were poor, if they didn’t give utility, purely because of the privacy issue. But they do give pleasure. Some of that pleasure is in the absolute quality of the user experience. I...

Retroactive Reinterpretation First, you should know this comment is written after a long break from lucidly watching serious movies, as my current movie time is often guided to mainstream films. I am giving this film a four, because it is one of the two from 2022...

Minivan to Chucky’s This is a play that has been made into a movie a few times. I saw this Italian version dubbed into fairly good English. Its appeal is supposedly in the characters, and the economy of production. I’ll let others judge whether the interaction...

Your Local Manager I came to this with kids, not knowing anything. The story is ordinary, with features borrowed from a familiar bucket. But it had energy, massive energy in more than one dimension. The title character, the city backgrounds, and most particularly the camera —...

Missed a Chance One nice thing about this is the casting of McKellan and Stewart. Despite the latter's adventures with the stupid StarTrek, he is an intelligent actor, as is McKellan. They tower over the amateurs in this film as their characters should. About bad acting,...
