'Brother' Fearlessly Tackles All Aspects of the Immigrant Experience
'Brother' is a gripping family drama with dazzling performances all around.

Sunshine has been fighting on the side of justice since she was little. Cherry is a mute girl who eschews spoken words for messages scribbled on paper planes to communicate her thoughts. A war has been declared on an odiously fawning principal, an overbearing PTA chairman (and overprotective father of Cherry), a team of opportunistic teachers and a class of students innocent no more! Teaming up with a tech-savvy mentor (the school janitor), a range of DIY gadgets and the occasional indulgence of mischievous acts, Cherry conducts a series of covert operations and comes to Cherry’s rescue at a choral speaking competition.

The one-way journey went to the desert that refused to offer an answer or a transcendence.
All in all, “Event Horizon” is a cinematic misfire, begging to be perfected in the future. While it possesses an array of admirable visuals, the film leaves much to be desired. If only we could see Anderson’s preferred cut, which featured more character development and tortuous imagery. In the meantime, I have a catchphrase for this film: In space no one can hear you snore.
'Zombieland: Double Tap' was entertaining and fun at times, but not very evolved. It had poorly developed female characters and stereotypical characters of color.
Director Martin Scorsese broadens his boundaries from mafia-driven movies, to a Buddhist biopic of the 14th Dalai Lama. While Buddhism strives for peace, ‘Kundun’ reveals the violence inflicted on Tibetan Buddhists and Scorsese’s depiction of violence does not stray away.
'The Suicide Squad' is at its best when it focuses on its characters and commentary on real-life issues, but stumbles when it relies too heavily on gratuitous gore and insensitive humor.
