Little Women by Greta Gerwig: A messy delight

January 18, 2020 By: Lauren Ivy Chiongcomment

Little Women movie still

Little Women is a delicate, poetic powerhouse. It’s my pick for best movie of 2019. Greta Gerwig, an actress turned director, is just magically gifted with her cinematic touch. She’s been overlooked for a Best Director Oscar nomination, which is unfortunate because Little Women shows Gerwig continuing to refine her directorial sensibilities, which include a […]

Heartbreaking Joker holds an ugly mirror up to society

October 12, 2019 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong2 Comments

I couldn’t agree less with critics who say that Joker is empty, shallow, or can’t get enough of itself. Joker explores the world of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix). “Down-and-out” doesn’t begin to describe Arthur’s bleak world. He makes his living as a clown for hire against the dingy backdrop of Gotham, where a sanitation workers’ […]

Green Book: Why can’t we all just get along? It’s complicated

March 2, 2019 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong2 Comments

Green Book won the Best Picture Oscar 2019. Do the Right Thing was shut out of the Best Picture nomination in 1990, and Driving Miss Daisy won that year.

Green Book vs. Driving Miss Daisy vs. Do the Right Thing When I first heard about the controversy around Green Book, I was puzzled. Why would some in the African-American community be upset that a movie portraying a genuine friendship between a white and black man, based on a true story, would be a favorite […]

Bird Box review: Apocalyptic science fiction thriller is dark but gripping

December 31, 2018 By: Lauren Ivy Chiongcomment

Bird Box on Netflix stars Sandra Bullock. It's a psychological science fiction thriller.

No one can debate the massive success of Bird Box on Netflix. The streaming service recently announced that 45 million accounts tuned in to watch. Debuting on December 21, folks must have had enough of feel-good, warm and fuzzy Hallmark holiday films and were good and ready for something dark and gritty. Make that very, […]
