This is starting to feel like a year from the 70s. A lot of really good films, but they cover a lot of different territory. American Hustle is the ‘fun’ film, and 12 Years a Slave is the ‘important’ film…but if you wanted to make the case that Gravity is the ‘most cinematic film’ (and the Producers Guild seems […]
First, the Oscars: a few slight surprises in my opinion, but for the most part the nominations went as expected. I went back today and added the tag ‘oscars 2014’ to the posts of the films I’ve seen so far, so if you missed (or want to go back) and check out my opinions […]
Oscar nominations will be out when most of you see this, so this is the end of our throwback music interlude. Enjoy. TEQUILA!!!!
Screw it, it’s ‘Old School’ week! (doing the Romey Rome dance from Martin as I listen to this…)
Let’s keep the 80s theme going shall we? I have fairly lucid memories of this being one of the first songs every girl in my family singing. Seriously, every one. Young Whitney was a cutie, wasn’t she?
As far as the Globes go, it reflected my own feelings and the general vibe among all the film geeks I talk to: there’s been a lot of good films and performances this year, but no universal ‘This one is so far above everything else’ (keeping in mind this is all subjective in the […]
Two more weekends to come down to the Attic and see Christian Bale: the Musical! The Chiefs are out, so the NFL playoffs are meaningless now. Email naileditprod@gmail.com for reservations/tickets. And for those outside of L.A., have a good weekend!
Let me start by telling you (if you didn’t already know) that whenever I see the title card that says ‘Written and Directed by Woody Allen,’ that’s an automatic plus one on the review. Blue Jasmine follows a middle aged woman (the always on point Cate Blanchett) who has to move in with her sister […]
A couple of weekends left to see the show I’m doing (and the very old school mustache I’m sporting). Since the timing is about the same, I’m debating whether to hold on to it for King Day or not. Pilot season will probably make the decision for me though. We’ll see. Anyway, as a […]
I didn’t know this before last week, but as soon as the film started, I realized August: Osage County is based on a play. Lot of name actors, every major character has a monologue at some point (which is like chum for actors). The basic story is one that’s familiar: a parent dies and all the […]
