It is my first movie of 2016! I chose well. In 1947, Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) was Hollywood’s top screenwriter, but he and other Hollywood artists (Hollywood Ten) were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs. This movie keeps a good dynamic, not too loud and not too soft. That is why we feel as […]
The Bolshoi Theater, Symbol of Russia, is a national treasure and one of the most famous institutions in the world. We remember the recent acid-attack on the director and that news shook the world. There were so many wrong reasons, not only the personal attacks but also a management change. For the first time Bolshoi have allowed […]
A Movie “Spotlight” tells the riveting true story of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Globe investigation that would rock the city and cause a crisis in one of the world’s oldest and most trusted institutions, Roman Catholic Church. In 2001, editor Marty Baron of The Boston Globe assigns a team of journalists, a section of the […]
Filmmaker Geeta V. Patel follows her brother, Indian-American actor Ravi V. Patel, as he embarks on a quest (and request from their parents) to find a wife with the traditional Indian match-maker system. First of all, it is really a fun movie. That is sure!! Secondly, it is made to look a home-made video, but […]
I saw “Top Spin” at Laemmle’s Preview Show in Pasadena. It is really fun! This documentary follows three young American table-tennis prodigies as they try to qualify for the 2012 Olympics. One of the three, a New Yorker named Michael Landers, started playing Ping Pong at the age of 2! He has been working very hard […]
I truly enjoyed this movie because I am a great fan of Klimt’s paintings and the movie is based in LA where I live! Maria Altmann (Helen Mirren), an octogenarian Jewish refugee, who settled in LA after she fled from Nazis Austria, takes on the Austrian government to recover artwork she believes rightfully belongs to her family. […]
After the excellent movie “Dior and I” this movie was a perfect choice to follow. Few days before Christian Dior passed away he named Yves Saint Laurent as his successor. Saint Laurent was only 21 to manage one of most celebrated house. Knowing Saint Laurent’s creative mind and his creation in fashion world I was […]
First of all I enjoyed this movie deeply. It is well-written. We can experience the inside of Christian Dior’s fashion house, which has a long tradition. I love fashion, and I have a style I like to wear so the fashion is important to me. Frédéric Tcheng, a director of this movie, has great eyes emotionally […]
It is a very strong movie in many ways. Clint Eastwood is a director of “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in the U.S. military history, a nicknamed “Legend”. He had a special mind to complete his 4 tours to Iraq, and survived through many dangerous moments. His mind was very focused […]
Seymour Bernstein started playing the piano as a little boy (that is not actually so special because most of professional pianists start our training pretty early), and he showed his exceptional talent in his early years. Interestingly when he turned 15 he was already teaching piano to others. He enjoyed an amazing performing career, but he […]
