  • ‘All Wishes Come True!’ Is a Blessing and a Curse in the Mythical Land of Penglai ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ August 20, 2026
    Going into this blind, I was still thoroughly invested: Who doesn’t love a handsome rogue with a heart of gold after gold in a heist film where the stakes are low? This is animation and no one really dies. You don’t need to know anything about Daoism or Chinese mythology to enjoy “All Wishes Come […]

  • Kūkai: Hallmark Lovely Moments But the Film Is Only for the Fanatical Faithful ⭐️ August 6, 2026
    People throw around the phrase “zen” while  knowing zero about  “Zen,” so while I feel people in the US and Europe could learn more about Buddhism, the documentary “Kūkai” directed Yue Ye is not the vehicle where enlightenment will be found. In Los Angeles, it is worth knowing about Kūkai, the founder of Shingon (True […]

  • ‘The Samurai and the Prisoner’: Fictional Mysteries within a Historical Mystery⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ August 6, 2026
    Going into the film “The Samurai and the Prisoner,” those familiar with Japanese history will know the situation and who lives and who does not.

Rod Roddenberry First Star Trek memory: “I remember being a little kid in my father’s home office bathroom. He had a 9 mm […]

  • ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’: A Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Finding Friends ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ July 28, 2026
    “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is an emotionally satisfying action story that introduces a new father-figure for the lonely Peter Parker and shows the emotional toll of being a loner has on Parker and his spider DNA. Under the current presidential administration, the scenes of people being seized by governmental agencies may hit differently, depending upon your […]

  • Considering the Transience of Grief: Hirokazu Koreeda’s ‘Sheep in the Box’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ July 22, 2026
    To fully understand Hirokazu Koreeda’s new science fiction film, “Sheep in the Box” (箱の中の羊), you need to know two things about Japan: Japan is using dolls in interesting ways and Japanese homes have limited storage space is limited. Japan has a growing elderly population and there are companies who make dolls to help people who […]

Yet you don’t have to be a Hiddleston fan to appreciate this charming documentary, “Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston,”  about the last day of the city of Pompeii. Scientists estimate that the people had a day to escape […]

  • ‘The Odyssey’: Less Greek Tragedy and More a Bad Boys Night(s) Out ⭐️⭐️ July 17, 2026
    “The Odyssey” has many lessons, but not all of them surely intended by the director/screenwriter Christopher Nolan. In the end, it is less a Greek tragedy and more a what not to do on a boys night out. Greek Film about the Trojan War  Contemporary Greeks on Film: Greek Wedding and Murders If you’ve been […]
