I remember first reading about this movie being in production- I think in a magazine or Facebook post? Back then it was called “The Pentagon Papers”... Despite the title change, this movie has everything! Steven Spielberg +Tom Hanks + Meryl Streep- together the trinity tell a story not too far off from recent events (sort … Continue reading The Post: A Sign of the Times

The countdown to the Oscars has ended! Tonight's the night! It is my favorite award show- I just wish that it didn't extend long into the night- almost 11:00 or Midnight- some of us have to work in the morning, Hollywood! Despite the long run time- I do think the Oscars gives the spotlight to … Continue reading Today’s the Day: Oscars 2018

  When I woke up this morning I realized (a little late) that I hadn't written anything on the Oscars yet. In fact, it has been a while since I had last sat down and written anything. I couldn't figure out why that was so, but I knew that I had a lot of catching … Continue reading One Day Away – My Thoughts and Predictions for The Oscars 2018

Before you let the title I wrote give you a knee-jerk reaction, I think I need to give you this disclaimer: This is only my opinion. My husband loved this film and disagrees with me on this review.

Once I began to research his movies more, I realized that I have seen one other movie he directed- Pacific Rim. To me, the Shape of Water was slightly better than Pacific … Continue reading The Shape of Water: Shaping up as an award season favorite

Before you read any further, I feel that I should warn you that this WILL contain many SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

STAR WARS HAS BEEN OUT FOR ALMOST A MONTH … Continue reading Let the Past Die – My Thoughts on the Film and What The Last Jedi Means for the Future of Star Wars
