Under Review: ‘Thorn in the Heart’
— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — Director Michel Gondry is known for his innovative and creative video and film projects. It seems surprising that a documentary about his aunt Suzette would be his latest project. However, after seeing the film, it earns its place among Gondry’s other work a[...]
If I Was Making … ‘The Man of Steel’ (Pt. 2)
— by BEN FOWLER — In a new Superman movie, a little time does need to be devoted to Kal-El’s homeworld. Ideally I would love to do a HBO-style mini-series about Krypton itself leading up to the devastating events that lead up to its eventual destruction. But that is for a whole other a[...]
