I was still in high school when Pretty Woman came out and it was a pretty huge hit back then. I haven't seen this movie in over twenty years, but the passing of director Garry Marshall this past week made me re-watch some of the clips. This and Beaches are my two favorite films from the late filmmaker, …

I have to admit I stumbled upon this movie as I'm currently besotted with this freakishly talented Welsh actor Aneurin Barnard. Yep, same guy who got me all obsessed with Richard III 😉 Having enjoyed Sing Street recently and the fact that this is from the creator of Billy Elliot, I knew I'd enjoy it. To be honest though, …

Boy it's been over a month since I made a Music Break post. I've just recently re-watched this schnitzel western, a grossly underrated gem of a movie, and since been obsessing over its soundtrack.

Well, I remember a snow storm a couple of years ago made me miss the screening for Mud during MSPIFF, so hopefully …

It's been nearly a month since I saw this rock biopic, but I'm still haunted by Control. I mentioned in this post that no other film affected me quite like this one. It's a beautiful film in so many ways, the cinematography, the acting, the dialog… but it's also a sad, utterly heartbreaking film that …

Most people who know me know I have an old school taste when it comes to music. I basically only listen to genres. One is classical music – my radio dial goes back and forth from MPR news to Classical MPR 99.5, and I'm not ashamed that I owned two Sarah Brightman CDs. The other is movie music [natch] My CD changers …
