Joy Luck Club 2

ARTS & CULTURE, REVIEWSBy Ashley TruongFebruary 1, 2011Leave a comment

As a journalist (kind of) I have an obligation to be honest, so here goes: I’ve read The Joy Luck Club (and many other Amy Tan books) multiple times. I might even have teared up over The Joy Luck Club, movie version. I thought it was poignant, moving, and so, so true. Which is clearly…

BLOGSBy Pacific TiesFebruary 1, 2011Leave a comment

…are as white as usual. Not that I particularly dislike any of the films on the nomination list. I even really, really like True Grit, even though I don’t think it will win against its competitors in Best Picture.
