Part of my São Paulo International Film Festival movie marathon - Movie #4. "Veins of the World" is a Mongolian-German co-production, written and directed by Byambasuren Davaa. I had never watched something from Mongolia before, so that is what first drew me to this, and I am so happy it did. This movie is a... Continue Reading →
Part of my São Paulo International Film Festival movie marathon - Movie #3. "The Trouble with Being Born", an Austrian-German co-production, sounded like an interesting idea. It really did. Its tagline is "Elli is an android programmed with memories that mean everything to her owner but nothing to her. The story of a machine and... Continue Reading →

I don't miss all of the silly shenanigans - some were funny, most were not, but having no one to weave the... Continue Reading →

As an initial disclaimer, I must say as a fan I loved the film, I really did. I was entertained and on the edge... Continue Reading →

It just seems to continuously miss the mark for me, and just doesn't measure up to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Well, Wonder Woman changed the game on that. With this movie, DC stepped away from the forced hand... Continue Reading →
I'll start with the fangirl part of the review... WOW WOW OMG THIS WAS AMAZING I CAN'T EVEN. Most of the time, I love campy Marvel over poorly-executed broody DC (Nolan's Dark Knight as the exception), and 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2' delivers campy fun with more heart than most recent movies that came out...
