This film is a study in the subtleties of control in abusive relationships. It is about the life of artist Margaret Keane, the painter of the children with oversized eyes that were so wildly popular in the 1960s, who gave her power away to a PATHOLOGICAL liar to continue to be loved. She colluded with his lies about his being the artist of the paintings for over ten years, because she felt so trapped in the lie that she believed that she could no longer get out.

…a jarringly surrealistic movie written by Kurt Vonnegut about a used car salesman questioning the assumed culturally twisted values of his urban life, that uses advertising as an assault weapon to enslave hungry consumers in an insane culture. It is disturbing, bitingly sharp and unsettlingly witty. One of the first movies to warn us of the eco~crisis we’re now facing. (written in the 1960s) that points to the insanity of a culture that is wantonly destroying the planet it lives on.

A fantasy about a boy who wants to live like a bird

This look at the short life of the eighteenth century poet John Keats, is a classic look at genius that wasn’t recognized until the artist has died…or rather genius which considers itself a failure due to the density of that which reflects it, some enchantingly beautiful scenes of English countryside and costuming, as his great love was a costume designer.

About the life of St. Francis and how he came to be all that he was against all cultural obstacles and judgment.

Her life revolves around acting as an interpreter for her parents and working on the family’s struggling fishing boat every day before school with her father and older brother.

At the turn of the century women really weren't even published.  However, all the betrayals, in the end were made into a current that poured powerfully into her brilliant writing. Though she had been used and manipulated by her arrogant and manipulative male partner who took all the credit for writing everything she had written, she had freely given it away to be loved by him..

A story of growing old and a man’s love and relationship with his cat.

A 1940’s retro-campy, stultifyingly stylized film with James Stewart, that made it difficult to stay with, but the message embedded it in was worth the discomfort of the artificial feeling acting. The film asked us to question our version of reality, based only on our own experience; to be willing to grasp that everyone lives in a separate reality, that we may or may not be able to recognize or experience.

HEALING (2014) Is a very touching story of how animals (raptors in this case) are a healing force in the redemption and rehabilitation of prisoners who had been hardened by their life experience.

Her words, “what I say is not always what people hear” are delivered with punch to an intellectual psychiatrist who counterpoints her simplicity and heart-knowing. A very entertaining and engaging movie.

This is an energy 101R film, that beyond its thin duality plot, genuinely educates in a very simple way, the nature of how our subtle energy fields affect each other and about developing intuition and looking at a soul level, at the issue of why we are attracted to someone.

And lucky for her (and us), her father has no problem breaking tradition to help Aisholpan follow her heart.

A human’s love for a non-human companion and the gifts shared between them. Magic and respect for all life.

An enigmatic, slow moving experience of the Medieval myth of the Green Knight (drawing from the Celtic Green Man myth). This myth is a tale of initiation, in this case testing a knight’s honor. The violence in it felt like a theatrical contrivance that didn’t wrench guts with its veracity. Along the path, the initiate meets with the feminine whose “cut off head” he has to symbolically retrieve at the bottom of a lake. The director took many liberties in the interpretation of this ancient myth including the way it ended. But its lush cinematic beauty made it worth it.

Though this film is ostensibly about the more ruthless aspects of being in a boys boarding school with so many wounded beings acting harshly toward each other, it is actually about what it is to see through the eyes of compassion and learning to care about what has shaped each being into acting the way they presently are.

A portrayal of Christ in all his humanness.

his is a brilliant film that gets into the mind state of a pianist who lives his entire life on a cruise ship. His understanding of finite and infinite reality is very revelatory.

The story of Helen Keller. A very inspired look at how someone overcomes the extreme obstacle of deaf and blindness.

One of the most clear representations of the gates of mythic reality and the interactive nature of different dimensional realities available on film and belief in ones self and ones dreams. (sequel is not recommended shallow).

At a certain point in the spiritual journey, there is a shift from lensing reality solely from the ego/mind to a primary lens of surrender to the Divine Self. I recommend this film as a way to understand how the spiritual journey unfolds as we move through this seminal shift in awareness.

A film about multi-dimensional reality. Starts off strangely like a human drama, but becomes a very interesting look at dimensional existence and whether we are “awake” or “asleep”, which reality is “real”. Though intriguing throughout, the conclusion was a little disappointing for me, but close to the mark, to what I humbly feel is real, which is that we are ALL Divine Creator beings.

A slow moving little movie about the symbiosis of human’s and trees. (You might also want to see Eddie Murphy’s “1000 WORDS” movie, which I synchonistically saw together on the same night; both were about the same theme from different points of view!)

This film certainly exposes the horrors of the art market, it's false values, greed and the inflated value of art as "investment". The general subject is how, through manipulation, the contemporary art market came to be so lucrative and greed riddled.

A animated movie showcasing some of Kahil Gibran’s poetry from his book by that title. A sweet look at that which never dies,that which is eternal, love.

This holographic tale is a subtly masked drama demonstrating how past lives still effect our present ego expression. It is the life story of a famous violin.

A film set in Vietnam in the 1950s,rich in every aspect of the senses, the sound track is incredible. It is filmed from the point of view of a very sensitive 10 year old girl, who is innocently awake to the beauty in everything, counterpointed by a cruel young boy… drawing the distinction between those who see the world through enculturated rather than innocent eyes.

…this unforgettable and touching film offers hope to anyone wishing to have a second chance in life. It so clearly demonstrates the amazing sensitivity and immensity of a horse’s heart.

A slickly packaged and marketed version of how we create our own reality, unfortunately only focusing on material manifestation rather than spiritual values.

An incredibly insightful film about the power of friendship, caring, loyalty, suffering and the acute mental sensitivity of artists. There was a powerful scene where what the musician was experiencing hearing Beethoven was translated into colors.. (synesthesia: hearing colors).

An indictment in our limiting cultural view of what is defined as sanity. About a brilliant being who speaks in Shakespeare-ease is thought to be mad. Brilliant!

How the hope of one person can make all the difference when they decide to act mythically on behalf of the good of the whole.

If you are a gourmand, this movie is a delight. It is in French and very slow..quite like a cooking show with a plot, but very worth the subtleties of the alchemical process of turning cooking into a true art form.

An excellent film about an Aboriginal rite of passage and the disastrous results when a white girl, as a representative of the white world, misunderstands this cultural rite.

Kurt Vonnegut film. A funny and surrealistic look at someone living in two simultaneous lifetimes.

This amazingly touching film is about a young woman’s rite of passage in standing in her power as a Maori whale rider. It has one of the most authentic acting performances by a child I’ve ever witnessed. I felt she WAS this character. She was such a model of not being able to be stopped by all the male traditions that barred her from being a whale rider.

A very touching film about “differences” uniqueness of being, about a young boy with a facial deformity and how he overcomes the cruelty projected toward him due to that. It is at its core about compassion for ourselves and all our differences! 

A hilariously funny take on saying “Yes” to everything and the consequences of that choice. As an aside, it is a clever satire on the New Age (Jim Carrey)

Great Egyptian sets, mediocre plot and a good mythic quest.

A fascinating and piquing Japanese anime movie  that looks at timelines, reality frames and what can be looked at or called dreams. It certainly questions what we call “reality”
