If you want to see the action-comic movie, this is the one. Roger Brown has everything, a beautiful wife, an amazing villa, and a good job (a headhunter), but he always feels not confident. He is a short man, 5’6”, and lives in Norway. So he needs to have more money to fill his mind. […]
I really enjoyed this movie, almost reflecting myself when I was their age, struggling to find my destination. Thousands of aspiring young dancers enter one of the world’s most prestigious ballet competitions, the Youth America Grand Prix, where lifelong dreams are at stake. There are several age categories, and each category offers wonderful opportunities for selected young […]
The Deep Blue Sea is an exquisite, nuanced and romantic tragedy, adapted from a 1950’s play by Terence Rattigan. The director is Terence Davies, and Rachel Weisz is Hester Collyer, the wife of an upper-class judge (Simon Russell Beale) and a free and creative mind trapped in a passionless marriage. She met with Freddie Page (Tom […]
It is an amazing movie! It was again one of Laemmle’s Sneak Preview at Playhouse 7 in Pasadena. This theater is my FAVORITE. The director/co-writer/a lead actor is Christopher Guest, and he does very creative, imaginative, funny, charming, and skillful work on this movie. I don’t know why this movie has not been popular…. All […]
Chico and Rita was nominated for Best Animated Film at Oscar this year, but did not win. I was very curious to see this film because the story is based in Cuba where I visited in 2010 as a part of my concert tour. I have a great memory from Cuba. It was beautiful…. This film […]
“A Separation” is the winner for Best Foreign Film at Oscar this year. It is a very dark and sad story with deep cultural/religeous back ground. The story is set with a modern family in Iran. The wife, Simin, wants to leave Iran with her husband, Nader, and daughter, Termeh, for freedom (I think), but her husband […]
I had a few free hours last Monday so I went to see a movie “My Week with Marilyn”. It is a story of a struggling, difficult, charming and cute actress who was a hottest girl in the world back then. And truly Marilyn Monroe still has a big status. In the early summer of 1956, […]
I, again, went to Laemmle Theater’s Sneak Preview for “Norwegian Wood” in Beverly Hills. It has been advertised well so many people came. With a bit of drive from my part of town to Beverly Hills, I got there only few minutes to the starting time. I got in the line. And the bad news!! The theater […]
I visited NoHo Laemmle Theater, just opened 3 weeks ago, to see “The Artist”. The theater is located in the heart of NoHo area, surrounded by restaurants and theaters. I loved this new cinema. It was fun to walk around after the movie. “The Artist” is charming, fun, creative, artistic, and exciting with amazing acting. […]
I went to the preview of “Music is the Weapon” at Playhouse 7 of Laemmle Theater. It is a documentary film about Fela Kuti, a legendary Nigerian musician. The film was made in 1982, I suppose when he was at his height. He was not only an inspiring musician, but also a person of strong view […]
