“Driveways” Review
"Driveways" is a nuanced portrait of an Asian American family, touching on themes of loss, growth, and belonging.

The hard-luck life of Commander Steve Rogers takes a surprising turn for the better when his dilapidated spacecraft crashes in Puckerbush Gulch, a place populated only by gun-toting, hard-drinking cowgirls. What appears to be an ideal situation soon turns out to be slightly more complicated, as Commander Rogers learns the problems of being the only man in a town of sensual, lonely women.

I hope that more people will see Joyland, understand the situation, and eventually change themselves and society so we can have a more accommodating world where everyday tragedies like the one depicted in the film do not occur.
The differences in these films could not be more blatant, and yet Gus Van Sant has found a way to portray the same messages and use the same techniques in each.
Like most young people, Leviticus is imperfect. But I love it anyways.
Facing the world with our fair share of uncertainties and/or apprehensions, many of which, sadly, may be well-founded, is nothing to sneeze at. Influenced and buffeted by the constant barrage of social media, fake news, and general upheaval present in our contemporary reality, what IS real and what's not becomes a blur.
