RKO 281 (1999) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A terrific TV movie to complement “Mank”
To be frank with you, it took some time for me to appreciate the greatness of Orson Welles’ “Citizen Kane” (1941), which has been regarded as one of the greatest works in the history of cinema during last several decades. … Continue reading

Hail, Caesar! (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): There is no business like movie business

Trumbo (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : A passable biopic about one legendary Hollywood writer

Maps to the Stars (2014) ☆☆1/2(2.5) : The Depraved and the Dead
“Maps to the Stars” is a cold satire about the desperate denizens of Hollywood mired in despair, derangement, and depravity of their superficial life with more bottoms to hit. The movie feels like one of those tabloid articles digging … Continue reading
Get Shorty (1995) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : He’s well-qualified to be a Hollywood producer
