BOW DOWN, B*TCHES! The period political drama is back in full force with the first trailer for Mary Queen of Scots, and while I have some thoughts about the trailer as a whole, there is no denying that Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie are truly...
We’re at about the halfway point for the year, so I thought now would be a good time to return to the Oscar predictions. So far, we really don’t know that much about the Oscar race. There’s some early buzz around quite a few films, a few...
We’re just past the year’s halfway point, which means it’s time for things to start picking up, at least movie-wise. That’s a good thing, because I have only seen one film that has truly blown me away, although there are quite a few that I still...
Thursday, the Television Academy announced their nominations for the 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. And with Game of Thrones and Westworld back in the running, Veep ineligible, and the #MeToo movement striking down consistent favorites like...
An insider source who has commented on the weight behind both Moonlight and The Shape of Water in past years has recently revealed that buzz is growing for Yorgos Lanthimos’ newest film, The Favourite. If you’re a fan of Lanthimos, or if you’re...

The 2001 Ocean’s Eleven was a perfect, breezy hit, giving audiences four suave heroes and seven suave-ish cohorts and an effortless, simple plot dressed up to look smart. The 2018 all-female follow-up, Ocean’s Eight, does away with any attempt to...
One of the biggest literary hits of last year was Angie Thomas’ The Hate U Give. A timely, electrifying YA novel, the book made several 2017 Best-Of lists and topped the bestselling charts upon its release. And unsurprisingly, we now have a...
Another week, another series of great/classic movies! I didn’t see as many films in theaters as last week, but I did manage to go see The Incredibles 2 on Thursday! You can expect a review later this week, but I will say that while it isn’t the...
Much has been made of the fact that John Travolta’s long-gestating passion project Gotti has received a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes – pitching a “perfect Bucky Larson,” if you will. Frankly, such claims are a bit misleading. I’m not saying that this is...
