  • ‘Hustlers’ : Faux Feminism and Strippers Revenge ☆☆ September 19, 2019
    “Hustlers” is a movie written and directed by a woman, based on an article by a woman about crimes committed by women and starring and co-produced by women and yet it seems like faux feminism, excused by a one-sided morality.

  • ‘Downton Abbey’: A Fantastic Episode as a Feature Film ☆☆☆☆☆ September 19, 2019

As a refresher, remember that at the end of “Shatter Like a Pearl,” Yūko had control of Arthur who forced Chester (Derek Mio) at gunpoint to drive away from their encampment in a […]

  • Sparrows, Swallows, Culture and AMC’s ‘The Terror: Infamy’ September 17, 2019
    Bird watchers and ornithologists might have been confused by the title of the first episode of AMC’s “The Terror: Infamy.” In North America, the brazen English sparrow (also known as the House Sparrow) a non-native species, is known to usurp the nesting areas of swallows and bluebirds. Late in the first episode, a mysterious young kimono-clad […]
