A jumbled and personal play about a queer migrant lost at sea, Marco Calvani’s “High Tide” features an amazing lead performance that keeps the film afloat even when it is weakest. It is knitted together by gentle moments: They follow Brazilian émigré Lourenço (Marco Pigossi) as he waits for his American lover to return in […]
When the title appears on screen and the tagline “No logic, only magic” follows immediately after a few opening frames, it is not so much of a clue as it is a rule. It tells you not to nitpick logic while watching this film. The only sensible thing about Om Bheem Bush (OBB) is that
Thomas Walton’s rape-revenge thriller They Turned Us Into Killers appears to be well-intentioned. It seems like he is telling a story about people who have been sexually assaulted taking back their lives and getting even with bad guys. That’s a good aim, but unfortunately this film doesn’t succeed at everything. In fact, it falls short

The truth is that I do not know too much about City Hunter, an iconic manga by Tsukasa Hojo which was finally made into a Japanese live-action film on Netflix, and directed by Yûichi Satô. Personally, my experience of the franchise has been with the 1993 Hong Kong movie starring Jackie Chan: this cheerfully dated
It would be a big job to set side by side the story of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba’s murder with Louis Armstrong’s musical tour and the United Nations’ expansion after Africa was decolonized in the 1960s. But it’s even trickier to tell this convoluted tale, filled with multiple characters and plot twists, non-chronologically while filling
Knowing that a new Alien movie is coming out, you know there will be a mockbuster to cash in on it. So the appearance of Alien Hunt is no shock. What might be surprising is that it’s not The Asylum this time, but prolific indie filmmaker Aaron Mirtes (The OctoGames, The Alpha Test). In its
Collateral Also at the beginning of the century, precisely in 2004. Collateral was released in theaters, directed by the great Michael Mann.
