I loved RRR even more the second time around, and I'm so glad I got to see it again with a much more responsive crowd at the New Parkway, where people will laugh and clap and gasp and cheer and exclaim, "That was insane!!" I don't remember exactly what that guy was responding to because with this movie THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES. Writer-director S.S. Rajamouli and his writing partner (and father!) V.

With respect to Wright’s “Cyrano,” not all failings; though, many of them can be forgiven under threat of sentimental purity.
“Cyrano” wears…
Hyenas is a funny but thoughtful parable concerning a man who has indeed done wrong but doesn't deserve the punishment that is coming and nor do those who punish him deserve the punishments dealt to them prior. It is taken from a European play, "The Visit," a fable on greed that is transferred to Senegal and the continental shift adds a new layer of malfeasance, colonialism. The power for someone from afar to cut off all resources, buy up all…
