Musings on 2022 Oscars Nominations – Snubs + Surprises

Happy #OscarsNominations Day! I didn't watch the live announcement as I was still in bed, LOL... hey, one has to work for a living and I had to be at work by 8:30. I work from home so my office is just a few steps away from my bedroom, but still. In any case, the …

FlixChatter Review – VENOM: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

I’m a big fan of Tom Hardy, but for some reason I just wasn’t interested in seeing Venom back in 2018. Well, Spider-man: No Way Home mid-credit scene featuring Hardy’s character Eddie Brock with his alien parasite in a Mexican bar (where the bartender is Cristo Fernández, aka Ted Lasso's Dani Rojas) got me intrigued. Then …

FlixChatter Review: The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)

The Jim Bakker scandal is something that’s always eluded me as it happened long before I came to the US. I didn’t even realize there’s a Minnesota connection, which has become my adopted state for over 20 years. But of course over time I became familiar about them just from various news items about them, …
