  • Ritesh Batra Talks Mumbai, Romance and ‘Photograph’ May 18, 2019
    In a brief 10-minute interview, director Ritesh Batra, talked about romance and a changing Mumbai which is just as much a character in the sweetly chaste romance, “Photograph.” Batra’s debut feature film, “The Lunchbox” (2013), was also a romance and writer/director Batra won Best Screenwriting and the Jury Grand Prize at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival and [ […]

  • Cinemax’s ‘Warrior’ Season 1, Episode 7: ‘The Tiger and the Fox’ May 18, 2019
    If you remember the old tale of “The Tiger and the Fox,” then episode is about divining who are the foxes and who are the tigers. Not everyone will survive this episode. “The Tiger and the Fox” is a Chinese story that inspired the idiom 狐假虎威 (hú jiǎ hǔ wēi) or a fox takes advantage […]

  • Falling in Love in ‘Amaluna’ May 15, 2019
    If you love Cirque du Soleil and Shakespeare, then “Amaluna” is the perfect way to celebrate both. “Ama” refers to “mother” while “luna” refers to “moon.” Amaluna is the name of the mysterious island where this adventure takes place. You might think this island is somewhere off of Ecuador. The first inhabitant that we meet […]

  • ‘Endgame’ and The Disappeared and Los Desaparecidos May 11, 2019
    There was a moment in “Avengers: Endgame” that I gasped. Why not “The Vanished”? Was this tactless? Was this US looking forward with blinders on? In “Endgame,” “The Disappeared” was the name given for the vanishing half of the galaxy’s population, done in at the snap of an Infinity-gloved hand by Thanos, but “The Disappeared” […]

  • Cinemax’s “Warrior,” Season 1, Episode 6 ‘Chewed Up, Spit Out, and Stepped On May 11, 2019
    “Chewed Up, Spit Out and Stepped On” marks the point of no return. The tong wars begin and Bill O’Hara loses his soul. What better time to make changes then the new year? This episode begins with sound of drums–not beating a war cadence, but one of notification. Soon cymbals are added and we see […]

    Imagine being the loving and supportive girlfriend of one of the most infamous serial killers? Elizabeth Kloepfer (AKA Liz Kendall) was a single mother and became the girlfriend of Ted Bundy.

    Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji) and Young Jun (Jason Tobin) are in a stagecoach with four strangers: a racist white couple, a racist cowboy and a white priest who tries to keep the peace.

  • Marvel Not Marvelous When it Comes to Asia May 3, 2019
    The good news about the end of the world caused by the snap of Thanos’ fingers once he had the complete set of Infinity Stones on his mighty gauntlet, was that while Natasha Romanoff is reduced to eating peanut butter and jam on white bread and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) in his gentled-down greenness has […]

  • Cinemax’ Warrior Season 1 Episode 4: ‘White Mountain’ April 29, 2019
    Episode 4, White Mountain introduces us to another tong, the Fung Hai. Sergeant Bill O’Hara doesn’t like the Chinese, but that doesn’t keep him away from his favorite vice. This episode begins with him at a Fung Hai gambling den where he meets a familiar face: Jack Damon (Brendan Sean Murray). Damon had left San Francisco to […]

  • ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Is Poignant and Heartwarming Ending of an Era April 23, 2019
    “Avengers: Endgame” has some moments of disappointments–some beloved characters will not return and the full cast of Avengers friends that we’ve come to know and love will not survive to the ending. One spoiler that is fair to give away is that this Marvel-verse movies does not feature any mid-credit or post credit scenes. There […]
