Beyond the Sea (2004) – reviewed by George
This is the third musical biography I’ve reviewed in three days, and like the other two, there’s a lot here to like. One thing: it plays like a musical fantasy. For instance, when Walden Robert Casotto, later to become Bobby … Continue reading

Kong: Skull Island (2017) – reviewed by George
A lot of biological theory is floated throughout this movie, but none of it matters. Here we have the same kind of fascination with people being eaten by big animals, being slung into rocks by big animals, and being torn … Continue reading
