A QUADRUPLICATE OF MIFFS AT MIFF 68 1/2

I miss going to the movies .....       Especially in August.  The Melbourne International Film Festival or MIFF is one of those great times to be alive in Melbourne.  Every year when the smell of spring hints the edges of the Antarctic Winds you can experience three weeks jammed with movies spread over multiple theatres scattered around the city.  Huddled together in all weather and over large jackets waiting in line, trying not to break your neck as you hurry over slippery streets to get to your next screening.  Living on a combination of wine, energy drinks and cheap cheese burgers because you are living in a theatre.  Who needs sleep when there are hundreds of movies on offer.  I'm not a critic, I just really love movies.  Sitting in a dark room that sliver screen portal open up, listening to the hummed reactions of the people around you.  MIFF is the best and worst way to watch movies, a lot of different movies but because ...

WONDER WOMAN (2017) - DIRECTED BY PATTY JENKINS  PROFESSOR MARSTON AND THE WONDER WOMEN (2017) - DIRECTED BY ANGELA ROBINSON Two movies that are about the same subject, but covering different aspects and styles.        Patty Jenkins' Blockbuster Wonder Woman from 2017 made a huge splash culturally and fiscally.  While Angela Robinson's The Professor and The Wonder Women is a much smaller intimate movie that follows the relationship between Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston and his inspirations that lead to to the Goddess's creation. One is a Blockbuster, a mammoth investment that was meant to be part of a huge D.C shared universe.  Professor Marston and the Wonder Women , while still distributed by Sony  (a smaller section of Sony, the section that likes awards) is a smaller and intimate movie, a single focus concerned with the inner emotions and desires of the characters.  One movie designed  to get the largest audienc...
