‘Nomadland’ Is A “Remarkable Achievement” From Filmmaker Chloé Zhao And Frances McDormand
Nomadland is a remarkable achievement, somehow rewriting and elevating the mythology of the American West. Director Chloé Zhao completes her unofficial trilogy, each film dealing with a different element of this mythology. First, she examined modern life on a Native American Reservation in Songs My Brothers Taught Me. Second, she considered the role of the modern cowboy in The Rider. It only seems natural that her third feature would follow the lives of modern “nomads” as they work and travel across the West.

Directing 101: ‘Parallel’ Filmmaker Isaac Ezban On Making Fast Decisions And Casting Kathleen Quinlan
Released last month and now available On Demand, Parallel ceners on a group of struggling entrepreneurs who stumble upon a mirror that is a portal to a “multiverse.” Director Isaac Ezban seamlessly infuses his time travel thriller with a touch of Giallo cinema and formalistic storytelling. With all of Parallel’s creative flourishes (all within a modest budget), it’s easy to see that Ezban is a diehard cinephile. He talks about his approach to indie filmmaking, working with Oscar nominated actress Kathleen Quinlan (Apollo 13), and his love for Alejandro Amenabar’s Open Your Eyes and The Others.

‘Cobra Kai’ Season 3 Delivers First Rate Narrative With Some Added “Kreese”
Although it’s easily bingeable, Cobra Kai is a deceptively ambitious series. Balancing the sentiment from The Karate Kid features while carving out a new path for a younger generation is a tricky prospect. Fans of the show should be glad to hear that third season continues the show’s growing momentum. My review of Cobra Kai season three is spoiler free, just fyi!
