I have Her Majesty The Queen on my mind all weekend, so of course, all my viewings were inspired by her passing last Thursday.

There are certain events where one would always remember exactly when they occurred.

It seems a lot of my favorite filmmakers have been going personal in their film projects.

Can’t believe it’s been seven years since George Miller directed one of my fave movies in the past decade, Mad Max: Fury Road.

It’s been a while since I saw Sylvester Stallone in anything, which was Creed II in 2018 (though he did voice the hilarious shark in The Suicide Squad).
