SXSW TV Recap: A Small Light

Most everyone is familiar with the name Anne Frank (and if you aren’t, you should be). But most of us know little about Miep Gies, the young woman who hid Anne along with her family and the others from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II, and the focus of SXSW selection A Small Light.

SXSW Film Review: Join or Die

Why has American society become so fractured, so divisive? Why are loneliness, fear, and suspicion such prevalent states of our collective mind? Well, to hear the SXSW documentary Join or Die tell it, it’s the lack of collective endeavors to engage our mind (body and soul to follow) that have slid us down into this morass of isolation.

SXSW TV Recap: Rabbit Hole

“Thriller” and "Kiefer Sutherland." Two great tastes that go great together. In new series Rabbit Hole (premiering March 26 on Paramount+), Sutherland plays John Weir, a “consultant” (aka corporate spy) who wants to make money for his clients and isn’t afraid of doing some sketchy-ass shit to get it for them.

SXSW Film Review: You Can Call Me Bill

William Shatner is going to die, and he's made some peace with that. It's the idea that everything else will die that terrifies and infuriates him.

SXSW Film Review: Joy Ride

Adele Lim’s Joy Ride is a bawdy comedy in the vein of Girls Trip and The Hangover films. What sets it apart from these movies is its creative team and cast of Asian American women.

SXSW Film Review: Air

I don't care about Michael Jordan. But then, I don't care about David Justice or Buck Weaver and that doesn't stop Moneyball and Eight Men Out from being on my list of all-time favorite sports movies.

SXSW Film Review: Caterpillar

It’s easy to be mislead, in the best possible way, by Caterpillar, a fascinating documentary written and directed by Liza Mandelup - I know for a fact that more than one viewer was convinced for a good, long time they were watching a low-budget feature rather than a doc.

SXSW TV Review: Lucky Hank

There's often a confusion that drama has to be epic, overblown, and filled with dire ramifications. Yet there is a singular charm and identifiability in the hapless middle.

SXSW Film Review: Raging Grace

Under the classics of British Gothic literature, your Wuthering Heights and The Mysteries of Udolpho, there's a bombastic sub-class of the genre, filled with crazed spinsters, evil aristocrats, and innocents caught in bizarre mansions houses.
