Review: Dick Johnson is Dead | The Cinecriture

Your father is dying. Most people would worry, spend as much time with their father as possible, and maybe go see a therapist to deal with some of the fear. Kirsten Johnson, however, decided to make a film.

Late to the Party Reviews: The Grandmaster (2013)

Let me preface this review by saying I know absolutely nothing about the Kung Fu genre. I enjoy action movies, but usually more for the interesting and exciting stories rather than the fight scenes. However, when this film started, I found myself unusually intrigued by the fight scenes, which seemed impeccably constructed to not only elicit a thrill but also to subtly build the character and world building of the film.
