It’s been a very strange year and I have not been posting much but as the EMMY nominations are being announced next week I thought it would be a good time to get back in the swing of things and lay out some predictions. Since I don’t watch comedies, my predictions are only in the […]

I had the time this weekend to watch several episodes from Season One and Season Two before the Season Three premiere Sunday night. Show runners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have taken another bold move, as they did with Season Two and have ventured into a whole new direction with speed and bravado. This a […]

It’s that time! Oscar Time! My high holy day! As award season has gone on its become pretty clear to see the trends. There could always be a surprise here and there but those usually happen in the supporting actor and actor categories not the top 5 or 6 awards. It’s been a very good […]

Antonio Banderas deserves to get his first nomination for Pain and Glory. I think Christian bale is going to pick up his 3rd Best Actor nomination for […]

Ya Rian Johnson took a lot of heat for The Last Jedi but there should be nothing but praise for his latest! Written and directed by Johnson, Knives Out has an all star cast and is a cleverly written and fun whodunnit that had me guessing until the end. It’s hard to craft a whodunnit […]
