F*** it! We’ll have our own Oscars!

Oscar nominations are in, and we like a lot of what the Academy has chosen to honor. Eight nominations for Arrival?  Love it. Kubo and the Two Strings with a nomination for visual effects? Unprecedented. Fantastic. Finding Dory not given a cursory nomination just because it's Pixar? Great. And then we get to the original screenplay award... The Lobster has...

It’s Oscars Eve. Here’s my final, complete list of movie ratings from 2015

Plus quick reviews for the oscar nominated ones! Inside Out 9.4/10 All right, I'll shut up about this one. You know both J.A. Prentice and I love it.

Spotlight (2015) Review

Well, this one's a little late. I'd previously promised I'd do this several months ago, but I decided to hold off on it until we were right around the corner from the Oscars, as it is my pick (out of the nominees) for Best Picture of the year. The greatest trick a movie can pull...

2016 Golden Globes Recap/Reactions

Another year, another bout of watching Ricky Gervais roast a bunch of celebrities at the Golden Globes. It's a wonder the people behind the show keep letting him back, seeing as his shtick involves open contempt for the people in the room. Not that I mind, since he was hilarious as usual. But this recap...

Brooklyn- Movie Review

I've just got home about five minutes ago from a double feature at the theater. I saw both Brooklyn and Spotlight, two movies getting tons of Oscar buzz, but flying under the radar at the box office.

Due to the shocking and stunning nature of the episode, this is more difficult than it would seem. Read more for their thoughts on the penultimate episode of this...

Mockingjay Part II is this generation’s Return of the King… except not at all.

So you wanna win an Oscar, huh? You wanna get that nice gold trophy on a shelf in your room? To go down in cinema lore as one of the chosen few? Well before you can get to the awards show, you've gotta make a movie. And if it's an Oscar you're fishing after, then...
