  • Week of March 10th – Another Busy Week

    Now that this year’s Academy Awards have taken place, it’s never too early to look ahead to next year. There are some interesting options that could be up for the big prize next year, but here are the ten that I think will be the nominees. I look forward to seeing how wrong I was.…

  • Week of March 3rd – The Long Wait is Over

    Last week, Anora took the big prize at the Academy Awards winning Best Picture. It also made a little history too. In the Festival circuit, there is the Big Three. That would be the Berlin International Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Venice Film Festival. The top prize at those festivals are among…

  • Week of February 24th – Highs and Lows

    Starting tomorrow, my 10th tournament will begin over on Instagram. This tournament will be the 2nd Annual Box Office Classic. Last year, for the inaugural Classic, I decided who won each matchup. It was fun for me, but between people not agreeing with my choices, and it just being more fun to open it up…

  • Week of February 17th – A Not Too Pleasant Week

    On Thursday this week, some shocking news rolled out. That news was the Brocolli Family have relinquished creative control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon MGM. I can’t even begin to pretend this is good news. While not all the Bond films were great (looking at you Die Another Day), there was a consistency…

  • Week of February 10th – Monkeys, and Falcons, and Bears. Oh My.

    I’ve been off from reviewing for a few weeks. I had a Florida trip that was taking my attention. That intersected my adventure with COVID, which ended this past week. Now, I’m back on my normal routine, just in time for me to get in Oscars mode. More on that next week. On to the…

  • Week of January 6th – A “Limited” Week

    Welp, my Golden Globes picks were pretty awful this year. After going 11-4 last year, I went 6-9 this time. 4 of those incorrect guesses can be attributed to the voters not liking Anora as much as I thought they would. That film ended up with no wins. There were a couple surprises at least…

  • Week of December 30th – Here We Go Again, Again!

    Week of December 30th – Here We Go Again, Again!

    As the calendar flips to a new year, I have changed how things look here for the new year. Notably here in these review posts, I have condensed things down for each review to make things cleaner. More drastically on the Box Office Madness page, I have changed the look on both my charts, as…

  • Week of December 23rd – The Airing of Grievances

    This week, Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra made some interesting comments regarding the studio’s Spider-Man-less Spider-Man films. He contends that the reason those movies were failures because the critics killed them. Those comments are laughable to me when it comes to Madame Web. “Let’s just touch on ‘Madame Web’ for a moment. “Madame Web’ underperformed…

  • Week of December 16th – A Late Beginning

    Over on the Box Office Madness page, there is something kind of depressing going on. With us now being three weeks into the Winter season, we only have 2 movies (Sonic3 and Mufasa this past weekend) that have grossed more than $20 million dollars. More sadly, only 4 have crossed the $10 million mark. The…

  • Week of December 9th – The Merciful End

    This week marks the one year mark since I started this venture, and it has been a fun year of learning and growing for me. This next year should be more of the same, but I was given a couple suggestions of things to do, so I will have a couple new kinds of post…
