 Safety Not Guaranteed
Is This Science Fiction? Maurice Broaddus
While time travel is the jump off point, not the point itself, at the heart of the characters' motivation for that journey are regret, mistakes, and love. They are a group of outcasts, those easily labeled different or weird, seeking connections they'd lost.

 Keep 'Em Guessing Maurice Broaddus
Who is this? Why are they here? What is its purpose? WHY IS IT TOUCHING THAT? WHY. IS. IT. DOING. THAT? These are the type of questions the writers continue to pose and leave the audience to keep guessing at.

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
Dice, Your Movie Friend
 What these movies excel at is... ear worms. This time out, it's "Circus afro." While that's memorable, it's not necessarily a good thing. Film is a visual medium, after all. Over all, this one is beautiful to look at... but not much more than what you expect.

 Americano Darrel Manson
"I did lose my father a long time ago," admits Demy. "I definitely wanted to talk about that, but in a fictionalized way. What I felt was interesting was to say that the grief process is something very unexpected.
"The character of my father in the film says, 'Okay, you're going to go back to Los Angeles, you're going to bring back the body, sell the apartment, and then it's done.' And you just can't really do it that way. You have to live your own experience."

Darrel Manson
It stands to reason that Los Angeles should have a great film festival, and it does. (Actually more than one, but let's focus on the now.) The L.A. Film Festival is underway at L.A. Live and other venues downtown.
I'll be reporting on many of these films and more as the festival continues.
