A Movie “Complete Unknown” 9/12/16 September 12, 2016

I always love Rachel Weisz’ movies… But not this one. The movie has a good point “changing identities”. That could be people’s desire, sometime. But the movie is beyond fantasy. No one can be a first class medical doctor, first class science researcher, first class artist, first class performer in few year!!! Also the ending […]

A Movie “The Neon Demon” 8/3/16 August 4, 2016

Well….. I totally did not understand this movie. I simply did not get it. That is all!

A Movie “Renoir – Revered and Reviled” 7/26/16 July 28, 2016

I got Renoir’s Collection Book when I was pretty young. I enjoyed turning the pages to see pretty colors and scenes, but I always did not understand why those ladies were so big.. Anyway time has passed. I have been seeing his real paintings at museums around the world and continue to like them. It […]

A Movie “Café Society” 7/24/16 July 24, 2016

It is Woody Allen’s new film. I love his movies! The story is based in 1930′ glamorous Hollywood and NY. The movie has full of wit, cynicism, humor, energy, and love. In gossipy Hollywood the young man from NY city, Bobby Dorfman, found his love, Vonnie. At the beginning their love seemed so youthful and […]

A Movie “Maggie’s Choice” 7/24/16 July 24, 2016

I enjoyed Greta Gerwig’s movie “Frances Ha” few years ago. It was very witty, cleaver, and fun. So I went “Maggie’s Choice” which she is a main character, Maggie. Again it is very funny and humorous. But I see the same tempo and mood from “Frances Ha”. Gerwig walks, talks, and behaves with the same manner, […]

A Movie “The Family Fang” 5/9/16 May 9, 2016

Nicole Kidman is interested in “Messy”. She is the producer of the movie and she hand picked Jason Bateman to direct the movie. They are siblings in the movie. The Family Fang is about maximum (!) performance artists (Christopher Walken and Maryann Plunkett), who included their two children, Annie (Kidman) and Buster (Bateman), in anarchist flash mob pranks. […]

A Movie “Our Last Tango” 5/1/16 May 2, 2016

I have been performing Tango music for a while, and I am always very fascinated by the culture behind the music. I have gone to Buenos Aires for 3 times, and I love that city too. This movie is a documentary film featuring Tango legends, Maria Nieves Rego and Juan Carlos Copes, and following their […]

A Movie “City of Gold” 3/23/16 March 24, 2016

It is an inspiring movie for LA people! I am reminded how diverse our culture is in LA. Jonathan Gold talks about culture, arts, food, and people. When he reviews the restaurant he goes to the same restaurant at least 7 -8 times. One time he went 17 times! He put everything into his review. […]

A Movie “Marguerite” 3/20/16 March 21, 2016

“Marguerite” is a movie directed by Xavier Giannoli and written by Giannoli and Marcia Romano. It is inspired by the life of Florence Foster Jenkins. In Paris, set in the golden twenties, Marguerite Dumont is a wealthy woman with passion in music, especially in opera. She has been studying and practicing singing for all of her life, […]

A Movie “Son of Saul” 1/23/16 January 23, 2016

It is nominated in the Best Foreign Language Film Category for this year’s Oscar. So I went.  First of all and most importantly the scenes from the Auschwitz-Birkenauare are very intense. At the beginning of the movie I started to feel ill and I thought I may not be able to see the movie to the […]
