Enough Said is a rom com made for adults, but it’s forever going to be known as one of the last cinematic performances of James Gandolfini. In that way, it’s bittersweet to watch. I’ve started re-watching the Sopranos again recently, and have the same feeling. Famously, James Gandolfini has a very obvious physical presence, but he never […]
No Sunday night post due to the holiday, so I hope you’re enjoying our Corporate Overlord’s Approved Day to Celebrate Love. If ‘You Make My Dreams’ is the walk in song to the afterparty, this feels like the right partner for the ‘First Dance as a Married Couple’ song. Enjoy Valentine’s Day and if […]
I’m looking at a list of 25 songs I could have used for Valentine’s Day. Since I’m in the mood, let’s choose two. A while ago, my buddy requested I use this one for when me and the Mrs. walk into the wedding reception/after-party. Of course, my naturally rebellious gut reaction was, ‘Yeahhhhhhh, sure. […]
I decided to bypass all the really obvious choices for today’s ‘Malik’s Favorite Love Song’ list, and go with one of the first love songs I remember learning. Still holds up I think. And props to Blair Underwood back there, popping up in the type of cameo role I like to pull. Enjoy!
Even though ‘Ribbon in the Sky’ is the well established Stevie Standard, I always preferred this one a little more…
So here’s the deal party people… I spent all weekend debating between taking a break from the film reviews and making this ‘Love Week’ (for the obvious reason), or banging out the rest of the movie reviews. Then fate stepped in and made my schedule for me. So I hope you enjoy a few […]
NBA All-Star Weekend around the corner, WrestleMania 30 not too long after that…it’s good to see New Orleans getting back to the way I remember it growing up. I’m slightly embarrassed to say the last time I personally visited was the last Bayou Classic before Katrina hit. So it’s been awhile personally. But I’ll […]
Blue Caprice takes the audience through one of the most terrifying violent spells in recent memory. Someone just started picking off random people along the Beltway with no apparent rhyme or reason about who they were targeting and why. The mastermind in this story is played by Isaiah Washington, in a role that feels tailor […]
Taking a quick break from reviewing films because I have to talk about this. A few days ago, Ava DuVernay asked the question all film geeks have had to think about the past few weeks (paraphrasing): can we still love some of these artists if we believe they’ve committed these universally accepted wrongs? My […]
There was a little movement to get Brie Larson an Oscar nomination for Short Term 12. I get why it didn’t happen; this particular year I don’t know who you make a strong case for ‘not being worthy’ of the five women who did get nominated. But this performance should lock her in as one […]
