Call me nostalgic, but there are films that transform you, and you feel that it is very unlikely that they will ever be surpassed. I continue to love everything PTA (affectionate acronym for Paul Thomas Anderson) does, and he really doesn't put a foot wrong. I loved The Master, Punch-Drunk Love, There Will Be Blood, etc., etc. But Magnolia is unsurpassable, it's as if there were some kind of "thing" in that film, a…More

And that happened even with Magnólia , who I decided to review a little while ago. For those who don't know, Ma…More
That's right, we're taking a moment to highlight PTA's masterpiece Magnolia. From Hard Eight to Phantom Thread, PTA has been writing and directing movies that matter, that feel, that stand out, and that offer a fresh perspective on story, character, the moment, the world we share, the world we survive, the world we create. His camera, his movement, his color, his dialogue. Raw, vulnerable, powerful. If you missed Pu…More
The official description of this movie is " a mosaic of interrelated characters in search of happiness, forgiveness and meaning." That pretty accurately describes the film because at first it is really difficult to imagine how all of these various stories and characters could possibly have anything to do with one-another.... until they do. With such a star-studded lineup, it is easy to understand how this film could…More
