ART ENCOUNTERS oF tHe …wHaT kiND? [Timisoara 2015]

October 9, 2015 1

Fresh from the wrap-up, I am going to review the art encounters event in Timisoara as a movie, a sub-genre movie, that could be either a horror comedy or corporate thriller.

PARALLELS 2015

October 8, 2015 Respond

Parallels is a recent sci-fi movie based on a story by Leona and Laura Harkom. It is by all means a minor movie, maybe the least one to attract attention or enter the competition for the most innovative indie science fiction movie of the year. Nevertheless, I want to thank V Leac for pointing this…

This is a one-of-a-kind movie, a trite, to the wound-,…

So good to have the planet back! And providential to have it on biserika.ro (the church), a truly ecumenical place to be. I feel indebted to many movie diggers that have gone faster, further and deeper than me – and who continue to nourish me with the most exquisite pieces of their rarest fruits.…
