The Last Showgirl, by Kate Gersten
Another of Coppola dynasty has become a director. Well she’s been a director for awhile, but this might be the one that gives her some fame, just like Lost In Translation gave her aunt Sophia her a taste of fame. … Continue reading
English, by Sanaz Toossi
The premise of this play is that in Tehran, or somewhere near it, in the late 90s I think, a woman at a school is teaching English to a group of students whose skills vary from struggling to almost perfect. … Continue reading
Nosferatu, by way of an old superstition that is frightened of female sexuality.
I don’t feel qualified to review this Robert Eggers movie because unlike the others, I kept falling asleep. I didn’t see anything up until the titles because I was snoring away. Many points of the movie were lost (and not … Continue reading

He has said the inspiration for this WWII movie was a picture of a little light skinned black child walking by himself during the Evacuation of the children of London. He wanted to remind everyone that the German’s attack on … Continue reading
