[Review] The Lone Ranger (2013) by Bea Harper

[Review] The Lone Ranger (2013) by Bea Harper

I have always had a huge affinity for the pulp serials of the 30’s- oh yeah, they were HARDLY politically correct when it came to matters such as ethnicity, gender roles and the portrayal of human condition, but they were also simple and most importantly, escapist. Considering the time when this media was available, tough … Continue reading

[RRFF ’13] A Long And Happy Life

A Long And Happy Life might be the title of the film, but it is certainly misleading and purposely so. I think the title is about the longing for a happy life, which is what I feel our main character Sasha (Aleksandr Yatsenko) wants.

The original was great fun (review here) and I had such a blast, I wound up getting very excited for this, and Despicable Me 2 does not disappoint. It does continue on with the story, … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula (1979)

“Dracula (1979)” While like Glenn Beck, I don’t have any actual substantive evidence to prove this, in 1979, Frank Langella fathered many children and didn’t even know it because of his role in this movie. I’m not going to waste time by bitching about how inaccurate this film is, partly because it has the same … Continue reading
