    TRIBECA SHORTS : Alejandra Parody’s “Gets good light”

    (in this series we present five short films selected by the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival)

    This is an important time in America. This country has always been blanketed under the hypocrisy of touting itself as the “land of the free” and one where “all men are created equal,” while our government creates policies and procedures to ensure that people of color and any minority

    How the music uncorked the full artistic potential of William Friedkin’s “To live and die in L.A.”

    The eighties were a fruitful time for the fusion of films and pop music. Never was there a time when the pop charts and the weekly box-office complimented one another as often as they did then. It got to the point where a film’s popularity would sometimes depend on the success of its soundtrack. Eighties-era MTV was a willing participant in the crossover promotion of big Hollywood films, as a hit video from a film’s soundtrack

    REVIEW: Lucía Garibaldi’s polished and hypnotic “The Sharks”

    “The Sharks” ("Los Tiburones" in the original Spanish title) is something special. Uruguayan writer/director Lucía Garibaldi's feature-length debut is a coming of age tale that gets to the heart of its subject without judgment or forced and phony life lessons. This is a careful and organic look at a teenager on the cusp of becoming a woman.

    MOVIE REVIEW: “LAZY SUSAN”

    What can one say when a great performance is lost on a film so enamored with itself that it becomes less and less endearing from scene to scene, finally burying any good graces it may have had?

    The answer? An unfortunate negative take on the new comedy, “Lazy Susan.”

    Sean Hayes is the unambitious Susan O’Connell. Susan can’t hold down a job nor do what

    NETFLIX AND CHILL: Ten reasons why staying in during the coronavirus scare is not so bad

    Confinement. Quarantine. Shut in. Whatever you wish to call it, we are all doing our part to stay safe during this tough time. For many of us, the arts are the key to keeping our minds stable through any issue, let alone being stuck in our homes for months. We have novels, music, films and television to see us through.

    MOVIE REVIEW: How “Slay the dragon” trains the spotlight on a perverse side of America’s electoral system

    The most frightening film of 2020 is not a horror flick. It’s a film about our electoral process. Chris Durrance and Barak Goodman’s stunning and eye-opening documentary examines how gerrymandering (the act of manipulating boundaries of an electoral constituency to favor one political party) is a very real and very present danger to our American democracy. This could be the most important film of 2020.
