It ain't art--it's first class entertainment, driven by the some of the same team behind 2022's global smash Top Gun: Maverick. This time, director Joseph Kosinski, writer Ehren Kruger, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have put another big glamorous movie star in the driver's seat and nailed the formula: F1: The Movie is built on speed, [...]
The movie event I live for ALL year is happening this weekend! The host-less 92nd Oscars are set to air this Sunday night, February 9 on ABC @8PM!! I love the sartorial splendor, the rhetorical blunders, the offhand quips, and above all, Brad Pitt. Who is bound to win. He's won everything else, including our [...]
ONCE UPON A TIME... IN HOLLYWOOD is easily THE film of the summer, the year thus far, and maybe the decade. It's a climactic showstopper of an achievement, Quentin Tarantino's avowed penultimate 9th movie, a full-to-bursting valentine to movie-making and movie stars, his native Los Angeles, and an industry mirroring the turbulence of a culture [...]

Perhaps the Red Sox should take a break, take a field trip, and see if the solution to their colossal and historic implosion can be found at the movies in the entertaining new film MONEYBALL. The movie champions those who challenge the conventional wisdom -- the ho-hummers who always say, "But that's how we've always done [...]
THE TREE OF LIFE is a visually stunning Christian allegory that seeks to answer the ultimate question: "What is the meaning of life?"
