  • Diversity and Movie Reviews January 27, 2023
    There is a movement in film, TV and theater reviews to include criticism about diversity. This is something I have been commenting on for quite a while so maybe I was ahead of this trend. The first review I wrote about theater were about a play that dealt with issues of race and gender and […]

    Netflix’s three-hour Asian Indian hero saga, “RRR,” was nominated for two awards, but came away with one win for Best Song to become the first Asian song to win in this category. “RRR” was also nominated for Best Non-English Language Film, but lost to Argentina’s political drama “Argentina, 1985.” M.M. Keeravani accepted the award on […]

  • Michelle Yeoh Gets her Golden Moment January 11, 2023
    Michelle Yeoh became the first Malaysian and the second Asian actress to win a Best Actress Comedy/Musical Golden Globe at Tuesday night’s 80th Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. She also shut down the time warning music to make sure she got all her thank you’s in.  In all, six […]

  • RRR: Roaring Reply to Racist Tropes? ⭐️⭐️⭐️ January 11, 2023
    The “RRR” isn’t a rolling wave of Spanish r’s or a specific person’s initials. The three R’s stand for three people: Rajamouli, Ram Charan and Rama Rao according to one source. That’s the director and the two leads. That sounds might sound like an egotistical bromance brewing yet  “RRR” is a rollicking good time where […]

  • The Comeback Kid: Ke Huy Quan Wins Golden Globe January 11, 2023
    Tuesday night at the Beverly Hilton, Ke Huy Quan was emotional as he accepted the Golden Globes for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture  at the 80th Golden Globe Awards.

  • GO: Contemporary Korean Art at LACMA December 29, 2022
    Korean Art has long been overshadowed by Chinese and Japanese art, both of which have had longstanding influence on Western art and even had specific terms associated with them (e.g. Chinoiserie and Japonisme). Korean art has been celebrated for both its celadon ceramics and its development of the keum-boo gilding technique, but both of these […]

  • Addressing Na’vi, Avatar and Racism: White Savior in Blueface December 26, 2022
    Both my husband and I left the press screening for “Avatar: The Way of Water” feeling we had seen another White savior film and that was before the call for a boycott was made. I chose to address issues of sexism in my original review, but let’s look at what’s happening in terms of racism. […]

  • Volcanos, Love and Locals: Three Documentaries on Volcano Disasters ⭐️⭐️ December 26, 2022
    Living on the circle of fire means earthquakes in Southern California, but in other areas, it also means volcano eruptions. Three documentaries take on the volcano eruptions that caused deaths and they are all plagued by a shining whiteness. Two of the documentaries (National Geographic’s “Fire of Love” and Werner Herzog’s “The Fire Within: A […]

  • ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’: Problems of Logic and Lechery ⭐️⭐️ December 13, 2022
    James Cameron’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” is a return to the blue-skinned Na’vi to check on the hybrid Jake Sully (Australian actor Sam Worthington) and the family he has made with Na’vi wife Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña). The Sky Invaders return under the command of Jake’s nemesis Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) as a lab-created […]

  • ‘Violent Night’ Is Live-Action R-Rated Cartoon Level Violence ⭐️⭐️⭐️ November 30, 2022
    While theoretically, I’m a pacifist and don’t believe in violence, I was raised on the high-level bloodless brutality of the Looney Tunes and at San Diego Comic-Con learned that I enjoyed killing zombies in a virtual world. For me, “Violent Night” is a welcome visual vacation away from the usual saccharine holiday fare. Director Tommy […]
