One Life, by James Hawes

I wasn’t going to review this but The Times review, once again, proved that their reviewers are hacks and unqualified to review a high school musical. My biggest complaint about this movie, which will not have a wide release or … Continue reading

Cabrini, by a bunch of conservative religious lunatics.

I wanted to see this, without having read the reviews or even seen any previews, because I was always a little curious about “Mother Cabrini,” or “Madre Cabrini,” as she’s referred to most of the time in this movie, and … Continue reading

High and Low: John Galliano

This is a short one and I’m not even going to look for a poster to go with it. It documents the fashion designer’s career rise at Givenchy and Dior, and then his nearly overnight collapse after he was filmed … Continue reading

Here We Are, by Stephen Sondheim and others.

This is being touted as Stephen Sondheim’s last musical, but it is not. The last musical he wrote which reached Broadway was Assassins. He wrote another musical which was called Road Show out of town and Bounce when it made … Continue reading

The Zone of Interest, by Jonathan Glazer, based on the novel by Martin Amis

I’m not sure if they actually released a movie poster for this film, but this seems to be at least a poster for the movie when it played at Cannes. I’m not a Martin Amis fan so I have not … Continue reading
