It’s time for my picks and shoulda’s for Sunday’s 97th Annual Academy Awards! Okay, gonna be honest. I did NOT watch everything this year. Time was not on my side (which is a good thing, it means I was making … Continue reading Jason’s Predictions and Predilections for the 97th Annual Academy Awards

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). I also had a REALLY hard time getting through the Feature Docs. I watched them, just not necessarily the whole way through. They were INCREDIBLY bleak…like more so than usual. But, lucky for me, the winner is a lock. … Continue reading Jason’s Predictions and Predilections for the 96th Annual Academy Awards
Usual disclaimer: My SAG picks are usually FAR less accurate than my Oscars’ picks. We actors are so unpredictable. Oscar voters, not so much. So, each year I give massive grief to the Nominating Committees for some of the inane … Continue reading 2023 SAG Awards: Predictions and Predilections

There is nothing I can write to tie these three shows together, other than that they were the last three shows I watched beginning to end. So…we’ll just get to it, shall we? Let’s go in order of quality, and, … Continue reading The Great, The Good, and The SMH: “Peaky Blinders” (S5), “Carnival Row” & “Knightfall” (S2)
“Dunkirk” Christopher Nolan I think most would agree that the previous high bar for affecting and unforgettable WWII films (or any war film for that matter) was set by Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan”. Twenty years later, a film has finally … Continue reading “Dunkirk”
“Anthropoid” Directed by Sean Ellis Not quite sure how this film received a mid-summer wide release, but I’m grateful, nonetheless. I’m assuming it received that release due to the gaping void left by a lack of caper films this summer … Continue reading “Anthropoid”
“Peaky Blinders” – Season 3 Created by Steven Knight “Peaky Blinders”, whose third season is now available on Netflix, has been one of my favorite shows since it bowed in 2013. Brilliantly conceived, beautifully shot, incredibly well-acted and superbly written, … Continue reading “Peaky Blinders” – Season 3 (Netflix)
