Kajillionaire is a lovely but odd – very odd – little comedy drama about a family of grifters who live not exactly off-the-grid but more off of social norms. They operate out of LA but not within anything approaching normalcy. … Continue reading
I laughed fairly often at this scathing, brutal faux-documentary about the 2020 that we all know and hate. Hosted by an impressive list of actors playing fake talking heads, it takes a brutal, direct, and perhaps one-sided assault on the … Continue reading
Soul is a pretty marvelous film from those fine folks at Pixar. I’d say this is their best movie in recent years and inadvertently the best Christmas movie released this (miserable) year. Not actually a Christmas movie but released on … Continue reading
