The Blue Caftan – Film Review
Tag: movie
A gentle, sensual and compassionate Moroccan film about an unusual triangle that lingers in the heart and mind long after the credits, The Blue Caftan is a beautiful tribute to love.
Mildred Pierce – Film Review
A thriller that blends film noir with domestic melodrama, this 1945 movie starring Joan Crawford is a very different beast compared to the more recent HBO TV miniseries, but it’s just as great in its own right.
The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit & The Rings of Power @ Hamer Hall
It’s hard to know how to describe this baffling concert other than a slapdash mix of awkward and sublime. I enjoyed myself in the end, but this wildly uneven production was a very odd fit for such a prestigious venue.
MSO: The Music of Hans Zimmer @ Hamer Hall

Little Shop of Horrors – Film Review

It turned out to be a wacky, campy, satirical and at times even touching delight.
To Leslie – Film Review
A gritty little indie movie that could, To Leslie soars on the strength of Andrea Riseborough’s raw, gut-wrenching performance as a single mother who wins then squanders the once-in-a-lifetime lottery.
Gaslight – Film Review
Atmospheric and disturbing 1944 thriller about domestic psychological torment that, along with the original play, spawned the well-known modern term.
Avatar: The Way of Water – Film Review
It took a while but I eventually got around to watching that obscure little indie movie about blue cat people.
