  Snow White 2025

  ★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  I enjoyed it . Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot were good enough. The songs were ok, the dwarfs were ok. The story has some holes. The best Disney live action remakes have taken the stories in completely new areas, like Dumbo and Cruella. This doesn’t totally go there, but it’s decent enough.

  28 Days Later 2002

  ★★★ Watched 29 Mar 2025

  The first hour of this, I thought was a blast. Cillian Murphy wakes up in a mostly deserted London. He mets people , a story emerges . The stuff in the apartment with Brendan Gleason, a radio message, go to Manchester….. then once they get there, the story starts to lose it for me.

  Luau 1982

  ★★½ Watched 11 Nov 2020

  Only for the weirdness. There is a lot spirit and energy in the first 20 minutes, then the last 10 minutes is just too long and ran out of ideas. I do love the lunacy of Burton and the Disney animators at play.

  Ain't No Time For Women 2020

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Feb 2021

  Slamdance Film Festival

  Women in salon talking politics during a Presidential election.... in Tunisia. The tone of the conversations could easily be happening here. The closing credits sequence with the GrandMother really made me smile.
