I’d Rather Be At the Movies with…Skylar Verduzco!

Is there anything better than a movie taking you by surprise? A movie that you’d assume is the goriest horror movie you could ever imagine actually being a moving, tender romance? Whether you watch it in a theater or on a VHS borrowed from the library, it’s magic every time.

I'd Rather Be At the Movies with...Alejandra Martinez!

Movies can have the power to transport you, whether it be emotionally to another time and place, or physically helping you escape from a hot day into an air conditioned room for a few hours– film critic and writer Alejandra Martinez knows a thing or two about that.

"I was shown this movie by my pal Skylar (Super Yaki Assistant Graphic Designer, you may know her…she has great taste in movies) and I can’t believe I’ve never seen it before! So silly, so adorable, truly a live-action cartoon. Barbra Streisand is a comedy queen."

Now that we finished our Terrence Malick screening series, Rahul Kohli is curating a 5-picture Sergio Leone screening series for our little film group. We kicked it off the Leone-fest last night with A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS.

In the coming weeks, we will be watching FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, THE GOOD THE BAD & THE UGLY, ONCE UPON IN THE WEST, and ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA.

It's such a pleasure to watch the western genre being revitalized and…

This was absolutely excellent. Arkasha Stevenson roars onto the scene with this absolute knockout debut feature that is wicked, vicious, elegant, beautifully directed, and downright SCARY. Nell Tiger Free is exceptional. I don't know of another time I've seen a franchise I thought was dead gasp so vibrantly back to life. As the credits began to roll, I found myself actively hoping for another installment.

Expect great, great things from Arkasha Stevenson.
