September 14, 2013 by Katya 1 Comment

"There is always a moment in your life when we have to tell the truth. Or life itself will tell the truth," says the main character in "Brazilian Western".

FILM REVIEW: “FRANCES HA” IT’S QUIRKY, UNIQUE AND WONDERFUL

June 21, 2013 by Katya 2 Comments

Greta Gerwig as "Frances Ha"

Frances Ha is a tricky movie to explain. While the story is simple, there's a lot going on underneath. It's funny, but melancholy too. Like its title character, it's just completely unique - and that is a wonderful thing. Frances (Greta Gerwig) is a bit of an oddball. An aspiring 27 year-old … [Read more...]

Film Review: “Before Midnight” Is Intimately Real

June 7, 2013 by Katya 3 Comments

Behind the Candelabra poster

Behind the Candelabra is a film that was turned down by every major studio for being "too gay" Luckily, it has also found a home in HBO and premiered last night. It is good. It is really good.

Film Review: McConaughey Shines in “Mud”

May 24, 2013 by Katya Leave a Comment

Matthew McConaughey has been on an amazing run of interesting films in the last few years. Gone are the days of light romantic comedies with questionable scripts (The Wedding Planner, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past). Starting in 2011's Lincoln Lawyer, he's made some … [Read more...]
