Housekeeping for Beginners, by Goran Stolevski
Goran Stolevski is an extremely talented filmmaker who lives Down Under but is originally from Macedonia. He gets the details so damn right it just boggles the mind. In “Of An Age,” for example, one of the characters is an … Continue reading
Reslience, by the Elderly
This is part 2 of my take on Biden and his age; what’s happening with polls and the media and so on. So Biden was forced out, probably by mainly Nancy Pelosi who is driven to win more than most … Continue reading
The Man In The High Castle, by P.K. Dick
I watched the entire series and then read the book because I wanted to see the changes that were made and if they actually translated Dick’s work and ideas into the film. In one way they did. In another, not. … Continue reading
Horizon, updated

Once again, the NYTimes has come out with another stupid review of a movie and this time it was Thelma. This review was by Jeannette Catsoulis, who appears to be on the movie staff and not just some rando “media” … Continue reading
Nowhere Special, by Uberto Pasolini
Most movies which are tear jerkers or weepers or whatever you want to call them, make you cry during the movie, at some point. This one I didn’t cry at all, until the credits started rolling. I think that’s a … Continue reading
