Somehow, this is becoming almost normal to report. Today, here in New York, it’s the last day that bars, gyms, restaurants, and of course, movie theaters, will be open. Schools are closed for at least a month. California is, I believe, in the sam…
In times like this, distractions are important. So, continuing on with this weekly series (or twice weekly in a few instances) I’m doing here at the site, we’re talking the top 25 Oscar winners in just about every single one of the Academy Award catego…
There was a time when a serial killer film, based on a novel written in part by James Patterson, would be a hot commodity in Hollywood. In fact, at one point, The Postcard Killers (the novel’s original name) had no less than famed cinematographer…
Welcome back one and all to the weekly box office report! As is always the case, each and every Sunday you can expect a look at what made the most money in theaters, as well as just how all of the new releases fared. Of course, this week, we have a who…
Hopefully these updates slow down, but at the moment, each and every single day brings something new to report, in terms of the Coronavirus spread affecting Hollywood. Today, it’s the news that Matt Reeves’ The Batman, starring Robert Patti…
Happy Birthday to me! What better way to celebrate being a 33 year old Oscar prognosticator than to updated predictions on the big day? Plus, with so many film related items being about cancelations and delays (with more surely to come), this is a welc…
Anyone with a pet knows how intensely painful it is to see them suffer and not know how to help. For many, a trip to the veterinarian ultimately ends in a sad goodbye. The new documentary, The Dog Doc, looks at a vet trying a new way to save our furry …
Another update to share. Not only has Disneyland opted to close its doors for only the fourth time in history, as well as the NCAA college basketball tournament not being held in March, along with a push of the Antlers and Mulan release dates (plus The…
Another day, another spat of events and films being canceled/delayed/postponed due to the Coronavirus outbreak. The most recent items include the NHL season being postponed, with baseball’s Opening Day next in line. We’ve also now seen Holl…
Growing up is about learning from your mistakes. Part of that process is, of course, making those mistakes in the first place. The new movie Big Time Adolescence leans into this aspect of the coming of age story with a surprising amount of effectivenes…
The bigger the swing that Pixar takes, creatively, the greater the reward audience members tend to be in store for. In June, the animation giant seems poised to release one of its riskier titles to date, immediately making it a must see for those who a…
Life is really starting to resemble the Steven Soderbergh movie Contagion. Coronavirus is a full on pandemic, with the NBA just announcing that they’ve halted their season after a Utah Jazz player tested positive for the virus, cities are limitin…
At this point, it’s hard to imagine that any comic book properties haven’t been mined for film. However, we have a new one in Bloodshot, but it does seem rather unlikely to start up a new franchise for star Vin Diesel. While on paper, this …
To believe the controversy last year, The Hunt was going to be the most vile film ever to be releases. Of course, those railing against it hadn’t seen it, and arguably hadn’t even seen the previews. However, I have seen the movie, and can t…
For decades, Bruce Dern has been one of the industry’s most compelling and often underrated actors. In recent years, Dern has only occasionally gotten central roles to play, more often being given supporting parts. This April (April 3rd, to be pr…
