Boom clap, the sound of my heart. The beat goes on and off and on and off. Charli XCX is complicated as a singer displays the right kind of FU in her […]
The Moment
Jimpa
An unfocused queer family drama that has more passion than substance. John Lithgow is a straight actor who can play LBGTQ characters without offending anyone. In fact, he can play them with […]
Islands

F is for Fine Feathered Friend. There’s a scene earlier in “H is for Hawk,” when a young woman is struggling to drive her dead father’s car, has to temporarily park somewhere […]

Bernal transforms, the weather changes, and the journey is beautifully presented. We know that Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese explorer, whose expedition was to sail around the world, but he died before […]
