The Wolf of Wall Street (movie) Now this is a different story… I’m guessing you remember my review of the book The Wolf of Wall Street. A perfectly solid book, quite educational in many ways. Now the question is: can the film be better than the book? My answer is — yes. In this case,…
Mulan It wasn’t easy for Disney when they decided to make a live-action version of “Mulan.” Various controversies followed the film (the absence of Mulan’s love interest Li Shang thanks to the #MeToo movement, the lead actress’ statements about the police situation in Hong Kong, filming in Xinjiang province, as well as the lack of…
