Red Beard (1965) – Akira Kurosawa

Red Beard is the next recommendation from the What Else to Watch list in DK Canada’s The Movie Book, following my screening of Rashomon.

Over a sprawling, and engaging three hours, Kurosawa explores humanism and existentialism through this adaption of a…

Opening Friday at the Carlton here in Toronto, Fake Blood,…

Uncommon Type (2017) – Tom Hanks
