Birdman
Alejandro G. Iñárritu always uses the power the comes with the director’s chair to push the envelop of the art of film. Birdman is no exception.

Gone Girl
If you engaged and your wedding date is coming up soon, you should not watch Gone Girl. You may cancel your wedding afterwards.

Begin Again
It is difficult to write about this film. There were moments when I hated it because it descended into cheesiness of a soap opera. But there were moments when I loved the film because at the core it is fueled by a love of music and the beauty music brings to our lives.

Ida
After a long break I had a chance to see Ida last night. I don’t know where I learned about the film. It was on my list of movies to see. Ida is a film about an 18-year-old girl who is about to take her vows as a nun. The mother superior of the convent believes, however, that Ida needs to learn about her past before committing herself to a life without family and children.

Omar
The conflict between Israel and Palestinians is back in the news. On this backdrop, Omar is an even more poignant drama. The film reminds us of the spy-thrillers made during the cold war. Omar is a young Palestinian baker in love with the sister of one of his friends, which whom he secretly exchanges love letters.
