‘Poor Things’ Is Pure Rubbish

It’s been about a week since Emma Stone stunned many people watching the Oscars to see her win a second award in under 10 years, beating out Lily Gladstone, who seemed almost a shoo-in for Killers of the Flower Moon. But the $64,000 question is could Stone have done a better job? Let me answerContinue reading “‘Poor Things’ Is Pure Rubbish”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day (But Please Play It Safe Today)

It’s St. Patrick’s Day today. For many people, it’s a day to drink a lot. It’s funny how alcoholic beverage consumption is the only thing to our bodies we secretly endorse and encourage. No one would tell you to down a six-pack of Coca-Cola or drink six expressos at one time. You can’t smoke cigarettesContinue reading “Happy St. Patrick’s Day (But Please Play It Safe Today)”

It’s OK To Stop And Smell The Flowers This Spring (And Get Some Rest)

On Friday afternoon, I was at home after a long morning and afternoon of appointments and running errands. I laid down to take a nap and felt like I was going to conk out in no time. Except, I didn’t. I guess my back was hurting too much and I laid there with my eyesContinue reading “It’s OK To Stop And Smell The Flowers This Spring (And Get Some Rest)”

‘Memento’ Is Unforgettable

With Christopher Nolan picking up two Oscars this past week for directing and producing Oppenheimer, it’s hard to believe it took him a quarter of a century to finally receive this award. From the get-go, Nolan has proven to be an amazing filmmaker and storyteller. He seems to be one of the few directors nowadaysContinue reading “‘Memento’ Is Unforgettable”

‘Bitconned’ Worth Its Weight

While watching Bitconned, the documentary on Netflix, about a cryptocurrency scam, I had to stop it to double-check I wasn’t watching a mockumentary. Everything about it seemed to preposterous to be based on a true-crime case. But it’s the real deal Holyfield. Centra Tech was a cryptocurrency formed in south Florida in the 2010s byContinue reading “‘Bitconned’ Worth Its Weight”

‘Aquaman’ 2 Sleeps With The Fishes

Without a doubt, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was doomed almost from the start. It didn’t help matters that just about everything was keeping this movie from being made. The first Aquaman was a refreshing beam of light that the DCEU might actually be as successful as the MCU. It grossed about $1.5 billion worldwideContinue reading “‘Aquaman’ 2 Sleeps With The Fishes”

‘Lessons In Chemistry’ Serves A Dish That’s Worth Learning

There is one scene in the TV series Lessons in Chemistry that’s directed and acted in such a way, it’s so wonderful. Elizabeth Zott (Brie Larson) bursts into the office of TV producer Walter Pine (Kevin Sussman), and begins to chide him for not providing an adequate school lunch for his daughter and suspecting thatContinue reading “‘Lessons In Chemistry’ Serves A Dish That’s Worth Learning”

‘The Killer’ Hits The Same Target Yet Still Misses The Mark

Sometimes, when you review a movie, you have to look at how it was made, not how original it is. They say there’s only seven or eight original story ideas that are constantly recycled or combined together. The late film critic Roger Ebert who won a Pulitzer for his work said he often recommended moviesContinue reading “‘The Killer’ Hits The Same Target Yet Still Misses The Mark”

‘The Marvels’ Doesn’t Deserve The Hate It’s Been Given

The Marvels is a very complicated movie. Even at 105 minutes with credit, it seems that it lags at some scenes but rushes to get other things over once it’s starting to get interesting. I feel the movie was the result of many issues Disney and Marvel Studios had with the big disappointment that wasContinue reading “‘The Marvels’ Doesn’t Deserve The Hate It’s Been Given”

Oscar’s Most Cringeworthy Moments

As glamourous and star-studded the Academy Awards can be, it doesn’t mean every year, things go off without a hitch. Part of the problem is that a producer has a radical idea that backfires in the worse way. Famed producer Allan Carr basically sunk his career 35 years ago when he opened with an actressContinue reading “Oscar’s Most Cringeworthy Moments”
