MY ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL SINKING INTO THE SEA

April 28, 2017May 21, 2021 Michael J. Casey

When it comes to high drama, there probably isn’t any time in a person’s life as tumultuous and dramatic as high school. Well, combat, maybe, but not everyone has to face the front lines. They do have to face first … Continue reading MY ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL SINKING INTO THE SEA

CÉZANNE ET MOI

April 27, 2017June 12, 2023 Michael J. Casey

Friendship, much like a marriage, isn’t just a long commitment of support, encouragement, and acceptance; it’s a reflection of you, them, and the world around and the world inside. No matter how similar two friends are in the beginning, their … Continue reading CÉZANNE ET MOI

April 13, 2017June 11, 2023 Michael J. Casey

Have you ever wondered why memories from your high school and college years always seem the clearest? The fondest? Back in the day, music sounded better, beer tasted crisper, energy was boundless, and you, and only you, really understood how … Continue reading ALL THESE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

GHOST IN THE SHELL

March 30, 2017May 23, 2021 Michael J. Casey

FRANTZ

March 30, 2017June 10, 2023 Michael J. Casey

Few films announce themselves as succinctly with an opening image as Frantz does. In the foreground: green leaves and pink flowers waving in the breeze. In the distance: a provincial German town draped in monochromatic black and white. In this single image, … Continue reading FRANTZ

PERSONAL SHOPPER

March 24, 2017May 24, 2021 Michael J. Casey

Not everyone can shop for themselves. Some aren’t very good at it, some are too busy, and others are too well known to walk into Cartier without TMZ hounding them out the door. A personal shopper is a must for … Continue reading PERSONAL SHOPPER

THE LURE (CÓRKI DANCINGU)

March 23, 2017June 10, 2023 Michael J. Casey

Thanks to Disney’s ability to cash-in on nostalgia, a tale as old as time with songs as old as rhyme is back in theaters to the sounds of ringing cash registers and uneven responses. Though there is great money in … Continue reading THE LURE (CÓRKI DANCINGU)

THE SENSE OF AN ENDING

March 17, 2017May 25, 2021 Michael J. Casey

A man builds his life. He tells his story, he buries his secrets, and he forgets his lies. Then he grows old and begins to wonder: Was I right? Was I wrong? Did I say too much? Not enough? Too … Continue reading THE SENSE OF AN ENDING
