As a longtime fan of independent film, I was eager to see this movie after stumbling upon a Facebook ad for it. Michael Pitt immediately caught my attention. I’ve missed his presence since his character was killed off in Boardwalk Empire after season two. Seeing Steve Buscemi and Joe Pesci in the trailer only heightenedContinue reading “Day of the fight”

Echos
The longing for times gone by and the complexity of emotional attachment of memories from consciousness. Lingering over our heads like a halo whirling in the rhythm of the earth. Every present. c 2024 Chu The Cud All Rights Reserved
Weather or knot
You can’t change weather, you can only react to it. Weather moves without resistance or regret and without emotional stakes or strategies. A reaction to the weather is through, cause and effect. Nature never complains, just reconfigures. A reaction to the action without temperament. Nature’s elegance nurtures weather with harmony and fragility, and dances in aContinue reading “Weather or knot”

Leave this movie behind
Garbage. After the first fifteen minutes, the story begins to die a slow death. The script’s characters are written so stereotypically, it’s cliche and you never really care about these people. Once box office magic, Julia Roberts once again played Julia Roberts. I was more interested in knowing if she really looked that old inContinue reading “Leave this movie behind”

There was no clear emotional contrast between good and bad, which diluted any sense ofContinue reading “Gladiator 2, was it necessary? A quick review.”

Best of both worlds

Instead of choosing one over the other, why not ask, ‘What do you love about being in the mountains?’ or ‘What do you love about the beach?’ ThisContinue reading “Best of both worlds”
