Noah Baumbach’s new film “White Noise” hits Netflix late next month. I recently had the chance to see it at an awards season press screening (I’ll have a full review coming soon). It’s an odd and fascinating film adaptation of Don DeLillo’s odd and fascinating 1985 novel. So it’s kind of fitting that it also … Continue reading
REVIEW: “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” (2022)
I’ve always loved the story of Pinocchio. But since becoming a father, it has taken on a much different meaning. These days it resonates with me on a much deeper level than before.

REVIEW: “The Son” (2022)
Playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and director Florian Zeller blew me away with his 2020 directorial debut, “The Father”. The film, an adaptation of his own 2012 play of the same name, was a heart-wrenching story of an elderly Welsh man suffering from dementia. The film’s lead performance earned Anthony Hopkins his second Best Actor Academy Award … Continue reading
