  • The Problematic #OscarsSoWhite and ‘Naatu Naatu’ March 16, 2023
    Was the Oscars “Naatu Naatu” performance an example of #OscarsSoWhite? It depends on what you consider White. But just saying it is so doesn’t make it so. Diversity isn’t just Black and White. This week should just be a reminder that April Reign or @ReignOfApril isn’t a journalist and missed some issues of diversity when […]

  • ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’: A Dragon and Unicorns and a Dragon Lady ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ March 15, 2023
    Shazam is, by far, my favorite part of the DC Extended Universe and that’s not only because I was a fan of Zach Levi’s NBC TV series “Chuck” (2007-2011).  I enjoy the goofiness and the self-deprecating humor as well as the message of finding hope with a found family. This second installment, “Shazam! Fury of […]

  • The Oscars Were Everything All at Once for Asians March 13, 2023
    The 95th Academy Awards was a celebration heartfelt emotion and of Asian diversity with “Everything Everywhere All at Once” winning seven awards (out of the eleven nominations), including Best Picture (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), Best Director(s), Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh, Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan  and Best Supporting Actress for Ja […]

  • ‘Shortcomings’ Brings Adrian Tomine’s Graphic Novel to the Screen ⭐️⭐️⭐️ March 11, 2023
    Adrian Tomine has scripted his original graphic novel, “Shortcomings” into a low-key humorous romantic comedy of the same name that focuses on three thirty-something Asian American characters. Under the direction of Randall Park, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival as part of the US Dramatic Competition contenders. This threesome is a modern tri […]

  • ‘Babylon’: Boobs, Butts and Bodily Fluids ⭐️⭐️ March 11, 2023
    The city Babylon has many meanings and what it means for Damien Chazelle’s period film has more to do with boobs, butts and bodily fluids than the real Hollywood of that error or the real city. The Real Babylon Babylon was the capital city of an empire and was located in what is now Hillah, […]

  • ‘The Whale’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Forget Fatphobia Claims and Watch Brendan Fraser’s Fab Performance March 11, 2023
    Before I was able to see the film “The Whale,” I was aware of some controversy. After I saw the film, I was afraid that this issue might prevent Brendan Fraser from getting a well deserved nomination. Fatphobia I think we need to discuss the issues raised before we get into before a review of […]

  • ‘The Triangle of Sadness’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and ‘The Admirable Crichton’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ March 11, 2023
    Swedish director Ruben Östlund’s black comedy, “Triangle of Sadness,” won a Palme d’Or and took on the subject of race, class and classless social media influencers. The catalyst for a sudden upending of the class system in Östlund’s film is similar to that of an old play and film, “The Admirable Crichton,” a shipwreck. Moreover, […]

  • ‘Creed III’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ : A Respectable Though Predictable Sequel March 8, 2023
    “Creed III” may be the third film (but reportedly not the last) about Adonis Creed, but it’s also part of the Rocky Balboa saga that began in 1976. Yet this is the first “Creed” film without the presence of Sylvester Stallone’s presence (mention is made) and it is the first feature film directed by “Creed” […]

  • Pinocchio: Four Versions, Three Worth Watching March 5, 2023
    You can now watch four version of Pinocchio, two of which are on Disney+, one on Netflix and one on Amazon Prime Video. While one can be easily skipped, the other three are whimsical tales for different audiences.  The Oscars buzz for Guillermo del Toro’s “Pinocchio” is well deserved, but there are two others also […]

  • The Disappointing Diversity in an Otherwise Delightful ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ February 16, 2023
    “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” centers on the Lang-Pym-Van Dyne family dynamics and that means WASPs of a different sort even if lead actor Paul Rudd (as Ant-Man/Scott Lang) is Jewish and Michael Douglas (as Hank Pym) is part Jewish through his famous father Kurt Douglas. In this third film, Ant-Man and his daughter bond, […]
