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
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

May December, by Todd Haynes
Many people don’t know this, but it is not legal or possible for an underage child to give consent. They can say they wanted the relationship. They can say they wanted the sex. But legally, they do not have the … 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

Saltburn, by Emerald Fennell
Another outsourced review of The Times by Wesley Morris gave this a terrible rating, and boring. It is anything but. As I wrote about when doing my own review of Promising Young Woman, the question the writer is asking (of … Continue reading
