Challengers, by Justin Kuritzkes
and directed by Luca Guadigno. I honestly don’t know what this movie was about. It’s about a 3 way relationship (2 boys and a girl) who meet… somewhere… a dorm of some kind or maybe it’s a tennis camp for … Continue reading
Breathe, by Doug Simon
Sometimes a film is just bad. But I went to see this anyway because I like Sam Worthington — or at least I feel bad for Sam Worthington because James Cameron’s promise that he’d become a huge star never happened. … Continue reading
Civil War, by Alex Garland
I didn’t want to see this because in the preview Jesse Plemons, who I think is the most menacing actor we’ve had in a great long while, asks an obviously foreign born American citizen, “What kind of American?” I mistakenly … Continue reading
A Hitch In Time, by Christopher Hitchens
Of course everyone knows about Christopher Hitchens’ extraordinary intelligence, and it’s probably best to see him in action on Youtube. This, for example. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone take on the Catholic Church in such a fearless way, … Continue reading
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

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
American Midnight, by Adam Hochschild
I don’t know why I add my 2 cents to every book and movie I read or see, because there’s so many people out there doing the same and it’s sort of pointless. But one things this book and author … Continue reading
Troilus and Cressida, by Shakespeare
I attended a fairly famous production of this play in the summer of 1981 but I can’t find any information about it online. It offended hordes of people because the director staged it like an S&M fever dream, with Achilles … Continue reading
Rights. Immunity. By America and various other naive democracies.
There are no such things as rights. No one is born with rights. A baby doesn’t have a right to be born and an elder person doesn’t have a right to compassionate care. You don’t have the right to read, … Continue reading
