You Cannot Kill David Arquette (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): David Arquette rises
I did not know whether I could be merely amused or had to wince a lot as watching documentary film “You Cannot Kill David Arquette”. The documentary often feels so ridiculous and outrageous that I often had serious doubts on … Continue reading

Love, Antosha (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Remembering Anton Yelchin
As watching documentary film “Love, Antosha”, I could not help but reminded of what a tragic and senseless loss the death of Anton Yelchin was. Since his breakthrough turn in “Hearts in Atlantis” (2001), he steadily advanced to become one … Continue reading
