Wow. What a movie week I’ve had. It’s been up, down and all around, mostly thanks to the mindf*ck that was mother! I reviewed the movie here, but I think it’s better you just go see it to make up your own mind, as opposed to the fighting going on...
It’s time for the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards! Who will win Best Drama? Will anything upset Veep? And just how popular will Saturday Night Live and Stranger Things be? You can find out here as I will update the winner in real time, and will...
The Creative Arts Emmys have come and gone, giving us an indicator of what has love, what isn’t connecting, and what has been snubbed (Kristen Schaal, Sarah Lynn beat Stewie in my heart. Teardrop emoji). So, with this new knowledge, I want to...
The character actor is arguably the most undervalued but important jobs in all of cinematic history. They appear in everything, often hold the project together, and lose the credit to the main character. That makes the best character actors some...

There’s nothing really “original” or “special” about the first film version of Stephen King’s most famous novel, It. Director Andy Muschietti doesn’t use it as a launchpad for larger themes, like The Shining. There aren’t any major game-changing...
This was a light week of movie viewing, mainly because we’ve had a slow week as we move into the wonderful fall season. In fact, I’ve only seen one film for review, and I’m sure you all know what that is. Yes, I saw It, despite my severe fear of...
It’s no secret around these parts that I was very vocally against The Book of Henry. It was a god-awful film from beginning to end, with no redeeming qualities. Still, I made it clear in the review that director Colin Trevorrow wasn’t really to...
I’m not really a huge science person, despite testing well in biology consistently. However, if there was ever a time when I loved it, it was because I grew up in a generation that was treated to a Golden Age of Educational Television. Bill Nye...
As the biggest Festival weekend of the year comes to a close, we finally have an idea of how the awards season will shape up. We’ve seen several shocks, surprises, and disappointments, including both the rise of Downsizing at Venice and its...
