Looking back at when I watched “Life, Above All”(2010) in last December, I can discern that I am a more jaded adult than I think. At one point in the story, I wondered for a while if its heroine really … Continue reading

Hugo (2011) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : A family movie from Martin Scorsese(no kidding)
At first, “Hugo” feels offbeat in the career of Martin Scorsese. Can you possibly imagine a PG-rated family movie made by the great American director who has impressed us with the gritty masterpieces like “Raging Bull”(1980) or “Goodfellas”(1990)? However, while … Continue reading
