Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Emily Brontë's WUTHERING HEIGHTS has sent folks into an absolute frenzy. Some Gen Z-ers have reportedly collapsed in fits of weeping at the "unexpected" (!!) death of its heroine! Hilarious. Others are affronted by all that heaving sex in the barn, on the moors, in the rain....a departure from the only [...]
It was the bang heard around the world of summer movies: two of the most anticipated big screen offerings of the season Greta Gerwig's BARBIE and Chris Nolan's OPPENHEIMER collided! Warner Bros and Universal Studios each scheduled release dates and critics screenings for their films on the same date and time! The animosity goes deeper [...]
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 [...]

A few of [...]

Yes it's been a long cold winter -- but let's not focus on that-- how about a movie to pull our focus so that we don't even notice! Which brings me to FOCUS starring one of the world's biggest box office stars WILL SMITH and gorgeous Aussie MARGOT ROBBIE, who left the wolves howling on Wall Street [...]
I thought my eyes would pop out of my head! The WOLF OF WALL STREET left me howling, jaw on the floor, more than once. This fantastically over the top, true story of 8o's-style greed from Martin Scorsese, plays like CALIGULA on Wall Street, laced with "coke, testosterone, and bodily fluids." Leonardo DiCaprio grabs and [...]
