Movie Review: Pina (2011)
Pina is the sort of movie that won’t tell you anything, and still make you understand. On paper, it’s a biopic of the famous German dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch who passed away in 2009, but don’t expect any information about her. Instead, we see recreations of her most famous dances, intercut by memories of her from her collaborators.

The movie was shot for only about $160K which makes the overall effort even more remarkable!
Movie Review: Across the Universe (2007)
A quick review of Across the Universe, a musical I rented a few days ago just because Across the Universe is one of my favorite songs of all-time.

Movie Review: Enchanted (2007)
Quick review of Enchanted which I happened to see while waiting for new tires to be mounted on my car (It’s true lol!). Directed by Kevin Lima, Enchanted starts like any old school Disney animation with the lonely 2D Princess Gisele (Amy Adams) serenading a crowd of animals and waiting for her charming prince in the fairy tale land of Andalusia.
