Yesterday I began a rundown of the hosts for this year’s awards season. We have T.J. Miller hosting the Critics Choice Awards, and, to a less exciting degree, we have Jimmy Fallon hosting the Golden Globes. I’m disappointed in that last news due...
I promised that I would provide an update from Venice today, just to give you all a brief view at how La La Land did in its premiere. I’d heard rumblings that it was something special, but I didn’t expect anything near the level of acclaim that...
Morgan is the diet version of every science fiction film ever made. It’s Diet Splice. It’s Diet Alien. It’s Diet Species. It’s really Diet Ex Machina. And it’s especially Diet Blade Runner. It seems that all those years watching his father make...
In my recent post on the upcoming Festival scene, I made it clear that it would be difficult to predict the AFI Festival, although I offered up two possible options anyway. As it turns out, I’m better at this than I though, because it was...
We are officially in the home stretch before awards season, as hosts and honorary awards have begun to be announced. We have news from the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, and the Critics Choice Awards on who they are bringing in to help make...
I returned home from moving my brother into his dorm to absolutely terrible news. Academy Award-nominated actor and writer Gene Wilder has passed away at the age of 83 due to complications with Alzheimer’s.

Last night, MTV continued their quest to return to relevance with the Video Music Awards. The night was honestly one of the weirdest shows I’ve ever witnessed, from Key and Peele’s unfunny hosting performance, to Jay Pharoah’s strange interviews...
Man, what a terrible week of movies I’ve had. It’s my own fault-I was trying to round out my Bottom 10 for the year, as some movies currently in it don’t deserve to be there. But I don’t think I fully realized what an absolute chore it is to dig...
The one thing that the Walt Disney Corporation has always been excellent at is lining their pockets with the most talented Broadway composers around. They started with two often-ignored brothers by the names of Richard and Robert Sherman. When...
The most common films released in the fall festival season are what I lovingly refer to as “old people dramas.” These are the films hoping to make an Oscar push that are usually focused on history, costumes, and either romance or drama. They are...
I have little experience with writer/director Kenneth Lonnergan. I know he helped write Gangs of New York (based on his acclaim, I have to assume the good parts). I know that people love his You Can Count On Me. And, of course, I know of the...
