I had a screening today for Manchester by the Sea, so I didn’t get a chance to do a big kickoff piece for A Sacred Wall Christmas (Subtitle: The Greatest Gift of All). However, I still wanted to do a fun/stupid piece to kick off the season before...
I was going to post my Grammy predictions for yesterday’s announcement, but then I remembered that there are like 50 categories. Ain’t nobody got time for that. At any rate, the 59th Grammy Awards announced their nominees yesterday, and as...
When I made my predictions for Oscar host several months ago, I left one name off of my list of Ten Potential Oscar Hosts-Jimmy Kimmel. I noted in my Emmys wrap up that he was a terrific host, and is a great ratings grabber, but ABC would never...
We are in the home stretch of the year, dear readers. And this means that it’s time for the Wednesday Listicles to take a swift detour. While the next couple of weeks will be dedicated to Christmas (what else), after that we will begin a...
The National Board of Review Awards, the first major critics award presented every year, is not one that decides the Oscar race. However, it does have a hefty bit of weight in influencing the race. In 2013, despite picking mostly underrated...
This won’t be a long What I Watched, What You Watched, both because I’m drained from work (I’ve got a fun week of Cyber Monday sales ahead of me) and because I didn’t get a chance to see a whole lot. However, I did manage to get in two movies in...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Yes, it’s the time of the year where we watch football, eat turkey and spend time fighting with family members. We watch our stress levels rise every year as we prepare meals for people, argue over...
Cinema has a habit of playing up dramatic stories: people tend to be colored more “good” or “bad” than reality, the odds are amped up, tension is added to make for a better story, and there’s always dramatic music swelling to a climax as the...
It took them long enough. Paramount and Martin Scorsese have their new movie coming out in less than a month, and we’re only now just getting the first trailer. But at least it’s pretty to look at. After almost thirty years, Scorsese is finally...
I told you guys that it would be difficult to predict the Independent Spirit Awards. They are notorious for going their own direction on everything. This year was no different, as Moonlight (expectedly) and American Honey (surprisingly) lead the...
When Disney released Frozen in 2013, it was a unique story with traditional (the nice way of saying “stereotypical”) characters, accompanied by gorgeous images and fantastic music. Moana flips but two of those things: it is a traditional story...
