The dust hasn't quite settled on the Oscars nomination for pundits and cinephiles… I mean, I'm still reeling from the fact that my #1 film of 2022, The Woman King was grossly overlooked. Not even a nomination for Viola Davis which I thought would've been a shoo-in! In any case, you can read my gripes …

Musings on the HFPA & 2023 Golden Globes + My Favorite Acceptance Speeches
Confession: I actually forgot the Golden Globes telecast was happening last night, so I went to a press screening of Gerry Butler's PLANE movie instead.

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) Review – an amusingly bleak tale of a harrowing break-up

As Summer is winding down, I'm definitely looking forward to Fall movies! Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell reunite in Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin since In Bruges (2008). I love In Bruges which inspired my trip with my hubby in 2014. It's been four years since McDonagh won an Oscar for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, …

Apparently the film hasn't even finished filming yet (yep, thanks to Covid-19), it's supposed to resume in September. But hey, good for director Matt …
