Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood – A Tarantino Fairy Tale

When I first heard that Quenton Tarantino was going to be making a movie that involved the Manson Family killings, I assumed the violence and blood would be overwhelming.

Ocean’s Eleven: Danny’s Perfect Hand

George Clooney is ubiquitous. Last week we all saw him at Prince Harry and Megan’s wedding. He looked as much a part of a fairy tale as the wedding itself – suave and handsome, with his young wife on his arm. The Daily Express ran a story that same day with the opening line: “GEORGE… [Read More]

tiff16: VOYAGE OF TIME: LIFE’S JOURNEY

Terrence Malick is an acquired taste. The mysterious director has built a prolific career, to be sure, but his style of filmmaking can be polarizing, with it’s emphasis on visual narratives and fractured style.  Some have written him off as self-indulgent while others have looked upon him as a prophetic and profound. Personally, I fall… [Read More]
