Hacksaw Ridge
I saw this film on the weekend after Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. The Donald as the commander-in-chief of the most powerful military in the world is not a comforting thought.
Boy
Enchanted by The Hunt for the Wilderpeople, I rented Taika Waititi’s earlier film Boy. It is not as mesmerizing as the The Hunt but it still a tour de force of creativity.
Why did Trump run for President?
This is a big qustion indeed. The next couple of months will probably tell.
Girl on the train
I did not jump onto this train voluntarily. I was dragged on it. After watching it, I can at least confirm that the low IMDB rating is right on target. Now the most interesting question is why would this book become a bestseller? I suspect because it allows women to feel victims of their controlling husbands. This film will not withstand the test of time. In 100 years—I confidently predict—it will be completely forgotten.
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Once in a while one comes across a film that is very special. Hunt for the Wilderpeople should clearly be on your list of must-see film.
