Mel Gibson Is a Gun-Toting Santa Claus in ‘Fatman’
Fatman is an R-rated action movie starring Mel Gibson as Santa Claus… I can already feel many people shaking their heads. But, if you’re more like me, you might think this has the potential to be one of the most entertaining films of the year.

Viewing Varda Part Seven: ‘Lions Love (…and Lies)’
After a decade of revolutionizing cinema in France, Agnès Varda was finally sent to Hollywood with the promise that she would be able to further cement herself as an international sensation. But, as if it were her destiny to forever remain an independent auteur, the studio execs denied Varda final cut. So what does Agnès Varda do while stuck in California for a few months with nothing to do but get weird? Why, the answer is in the question, of course.

Viewing Varda Part Six: Mid-Sixties Shorts
The Sixties were a flashpoint of political change for much of the world. And while Agnes Varda’s features would not enter the realm of outright documentary for nearly a decade, she was intent on capturing these shifts in culture through her smaller works. Today, we look at two such documents. Both focus on communists, some of them young, some of them old. And while aspects of the shorts have not dated the best, they still manage to offer essential portraits of times and places in history. Also, a bonus: Varda’s masterpiece Cleo from 5 to 7 happened to feature a short film, one which I did not mention in my initial review. We will look at that as well. Let us begin.

‘Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight’: Much More Than an Intriguing Title
I’ll admit it: I chose to review this movie merely because of its title. Now, I have done this before, and afterward regretted my choice (The Binding, for example). But this time, I was a lot luckier! Many are dubbing Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight Poland’s first slasher movie; I even think this is the first Polish horror movie I have ever seen. And if the Polish want to make more movies such as this one, I am all for it. Although not a masterpiece, Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight is certainly fun to watch.

‘Megamind’ Is the Best of Both Worlds
Megamind was so underrated when it first came out and it still feels that way today. I can understand why: DreamWorks tends to make pretty juvenile films that target kids with potty humor. Megamind was a breath of fresh air in that endless stream of nonsense.
