Tribeca Festival / Review : Everyone Will Love “Somewhere in Queens”

Take a seat if you’re not already sitting down. What I’m about to say might shock many of you. I never really cared about Everybody Loves Raymond. I have no personal distaste for the show itself, or Ray Romano…it was just never my kind of thing. Naturally, I have no real connection to Romano or…

Film Review: No Hustle Needed to Enjoy “Hustle”

Film Review: I’d Rather Die in an Ambulance Than Watch, “Ambulance”

Let’s not beat around the bush…no one ever expects high art from a Michael Bay film. The man himself has even admitted that he makes films for a very specific demographic that isn’t looking for deep meaning and metaphors. But Michael Bay doesn’t write anything he has directed. Based on a 2005 Danish film that…

Around 5 minutes into Sharp Stick 26 year old Sarah Jo (Kristine Froseth) goes to put a “pre-eviction” note on the door of a tenant her mother is about to evict from the apartment complex they run. Or, so it seems it is an apartment complex. They refer to him as the tenant in 1-A, but…

Sundance Film Festival Review- Searching Intimacy with, “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.”

A favorite talking point of mine is that too many people confuse lust for love. Good Luck To You, Leo Grande (which from this point further will be mentioned simple as Good Luck… for brevities sake) in no way connects to this idea. But, in a similar vein, it looks at intimacy in a way that breaks it…

Ask me what my favorite films are and eventually- when I want to throw in some more modern choices – I’ll bring up Duncan Jones’s 2009 debut, Moon. With more than one layer to it, I always try to boil it down the philosophical journey of Moon into a signal sentence; “would you get along…
