    OSCARS 2024 – Nominations Commentary

    January 24, 2024 /

    Best Picture and Best Director should just be the same award. Don't separate it out.  Yes, the Producers are important as well, and yeah they get an Oscar too when the film wins, but it's really the director's moment...

    FIRST COW

    July 11, 2020 /

    Otis “Cookie” Figowitz (John Magaro) finds himself in this uncompromising wooded land having signed on to be a cook for a couple of hard to please trappers. While foraging for truffles he finds King-Lu (Orion Lee) hiding in some bushes, naked and hungry. He’s been trying to outrun some Russian trappers who he unintentionally wronged. Cookie feeds and shelters him for the night, unbeknownst to his rough companion/employers. King-Lu leaves undetected in the morning. The two meet up again later, Cookie now unemployed. The two soon strike up a bond of friendship.

    SONG TO SONG

    March 24, 2017 /

    I enjoy movies set inside the music scene like: Almost Famous, Crazy Heart, Walk the Line, Inside Llewyn Davis, La La Land, even The Runaways, with Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart playing Cherie Currie and Joan Jett, it's pretty bad, but still has something to recommend it. These movies depict some aspect or time period of the music industry.

    Movie Blog Post: THE NEON DEMON

    June 26, 2016 /

    QUICK LOOK AT NICOLAS WINDING REFN’S THE NEON DEMON  By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay Not quite sure what to make of filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn’s latest picture The Neon Demon. I imagined it would be a bit campy, in a good juicy way, but I didn’t expect it to get so dark, nightmarish and sick.  Although, actually, I can take watching necrophilia and cannibalism, what I can’t take is slothful, long drawn out scenes created for an effect that for me it didn’t achieve. Jesse (Elle Fanning) is a fresh faced 16 year-old girl new to LA. When asked, she just says her parents are not around, but…

    Movie Blog Post: NYMPHOMANIAC Vol I & II

    April 15, 2014 /

    The film starts out with a dark screen for way too long a time.  I know it's suppose to be a heightened effect, but really it just gives you time to think about your day and how late it's going to be when this movie is over and because of that you'll probably be late for work the next day etc...   When the screen finally fills with images, we eventually see a bloody woman lying prone on a nasty alley floor.
