It’s time for my picks and shoulda’s for Sunday’s 96th Annual Academy Awards! So, I try and screen every nominated film, and this year I’m afraid I failed in that mission. I did not watch “Flamin Hot” (because Dianne Warren is going to lose again) or “Golda” (because the makeup category, while a tossup, won’t be any where near this film).

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” Directed by James Gunn It’s taken me almost twenty-four hours since I viewed “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” to ponder and answer the question of why I didn’t enjoy it as much … Continue reading “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”
“Joy” Directed David O. Russell I assure you, it is no fun to write a bad review of something that looked like it would be charming and fun. Alas, “Joy” is neither. It is, however, bad. After much deliberation I … Continue reading “Joy”
“Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp” Netflix Exclusive So I’m one of those people who did NOT love the original film from 2001. For whatever reason (and I’ve watched it three times), it never landed for me. The … Continue reading “Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp” (2015)
Directed by Clint Eastwood Like many Eastwood flicks over the last several years, I felt something was off. It was not the lead actor, as Cooper is terrific. It wasn’t the writing, although more could’ve been made of how post-deployment … Continue reading “American Sniper”
