EDITORIAL: James Takes A Look Back At His Favorite Films of 2016


I know, I know, it's March, the Oscars are over, who still cares about 2016 right? Well, I do, because I have never been a part of the usual rush at the end of December in giving out the "Best Films of the Year" lists without really having had a good look at the whole spectrum of films of the year.

Now of course, I will never in my life be able to see every film that came out in 2016, nor can I say that I've seen everything I wanted to see, but 92 films in, I can confidently say that this year I got a lot covered and took my time to do so as it is hard, because of distribution, to see everything that's worth viewing by the end of December.

Movie Review: THE HANDMAIDEN


The Handmaiden is the latest film from acclaimed Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook. The film stars Kim Min-hee, Kim Tae-ri, and Ha Jung-woo. This is a film you should really see without knowing anything about so all I will say with respect to the plot is that it is a period piece set in Japanese occupied Korea where there is a plot to get money in some way involving a handmaiden. This film is really excellent so the lack of information going in will serve you well.
