One of the best things (for some people) about Christmas is the collection of songs. There is no holiday that can match it in terms of quantity or quality of music. From the church classics to the early popular music selections to the early days...
Christopher Nolan is one of our most innovative directors. He’s taken a basic crime thriller and turned it into a twisty, turning masterpiece in Memento. He’s taken a heist thriller and turned it into a dreamscape cornucopia in Inception. He’s...
We’ve had some fun the past couple of weeks looking at the Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, but it’s time to get series. In terms of the Oscars, these awards mean nothing. There is no overlap in terms of voting branches. If you’re...
Another year, another odd list from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The Golden Globe nominations were announced yesterday morning, and it pretty much cements the win for La La Land, as well as offering up major contenders, both obvious...
Tonight the Critics’ Choice Awards will kick things off with the best of film and television. It’s the first major awards show of the season. I’ll post a comprehensive write-up later this week, but for now you can see who the...
Tomorrow morning, the HFPA will be announcing their nominees for the 74th Golden Globes. For those unaware, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is the second largest awards show of the season, known for nominating big stars in the hopes...
Truth be told, I wasn’t even convinced that I should see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story opening night. I just didn’t know if I had any interest, and there were these persistent rumors of reshoots that didn’t sound great. I mean, look at the last...

Back in my day, Spider-Man was played by Tobey Maguire, was an aw-shucks style of goofiness, and had an air of comic book goofiness. Not like today, with all this philosophical bs-ing and what not. Also back in my day, Spider-Man was played by...
It must be an incredibly difficult task to center a film wholly on an emotion. I’m not referring to the feelings that a film inspires, or the way the characters emote. I mean to make an entire film that serves as an extended metaphor for one...
Well, the AFI always finds a way to mix things up. While many of their choices played out as expected (I got 8 out of 10 film selections and a less impressive 5 out of 10 television selections), they still found a way to throw a wrench into...
I’ve always found the AFI Awards to be my favorite of the precursor awards. While New York is too hipster-based and the National Board of Review is too star-focused, AFI has been focused on the best of the best since I was a child, and has a list...
