War for the Planet of the Apes – Film Review
Despite the obvious technical advantages of computer imagery and its visual effects, up until now, the reboot Planet of the Apes series had yet to resonate in the way the 1968 original did. Certainly, the new films are popular. There wouldn’t be a third if they weren’t. But there’s a divided audience; those eager for […]

Wish Upon – Film Review
It’s a variation of a good luck, Chinese Wish Pot, but with a major difference. Instead of writing your wishes on paper, then placing that wish within the pot, with this particular Chinese ornate box there’s no need for the written word. All you do is place your hands on the top then say what […]

The Little Hours – Film Review
The bawdy story of the young servant who runs from his master and pretends he’s mute while hiding in a convent full of lusty nuns was first told by classic 14th century author, Giovanni Boccaccio. It’s one of the 100 tales written in The Decameron, a collection of stories considered a masterpiece of early Italian […]
