Indie Prof

This month the Indie Prof reviews the movie “One Night in Miami” on Amazon and the Danish series “Borgen” on Netflix.

This month the Indie Prof reviews “Land,” the directorial debut from Robin Wright and A tribute to director Kar-Wai Wong with showings of most of his films at the Sie Film Center.

The Indie Prof reviews “The Reason I jump,” now playing at the Sie Film Center’s Virtual Cinema, and “Promising Young Woman,” available through streaming.

This month, I review one film from the Center as well as a streaming show.

This month the Indie Prof reviews 4 films from the 2020 Denver Film Festival: Ema (Chile—2020), ‘Til Kingdom Come (2020), 76 Days (2020), and Freeland (2020). The virtual event can be accessed at www.denverfilm.org.

There are a few defining moments throughout history that tend to coalesce a generation around a shared experience, serve as a visceral and temporal marker, and whittle away any sense of innocence we may have left about the world.

If you have an aversion to comic books/superheroes, put them aside and enmesh yourself in the wonderful, dense, quirky, surprising, and visually stunning “Watchmen” on HBO.

I think of Yellowstone as The Godfather of the Range. The Godfather is one of the great, classic films of all time: it is not just an operatic view into a large and powerful crime family (the Corleones), it also an allegory for the American dream and the American experiment.

Theaters are still closed, but movies live on. This month, I review three new releases that are all available through different online platforms, including the Denver Film Center at denverfilm.org.

This month’s films are both independent new releases that will struggle to find audiences while theaters are shuttered.

Stream “A Good Woman Is Hard to Find” from the Sie Film Center (order dinner too) and binge season 3 of Ozark on Netflix.

The Indie Prof reviews two binge-worthy Netflix series this month: The Crown and Narcos: Mexico
