Reese Witherspoon carries this film based on a true story, about a young woman who hikes across the Mojave Desert. That by itself isn’t much of a story, the hike is a metaphor for this young woman’s transition from a turbulent childhood to young adulthood and attempting to turn her life around before it’s too […]
Some roles and movies feel like they would only work if one person played the lead role. It’s hard for me to see anyone but Bill Murray as the title character of this film. As in ‘Lost in Translation’, the role of Vincent comes across a lot as in alternate universe version of Bill […]
All caught up on the award season movies, so we can space those out. Movie reviews return Sunday night. Right now, time to start the weekend. The funkiest remix of a bad ass song to begin with. Have a good one!
Not so fast Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain… Like most of you, I’ve been a fan of Julianne Moore since Boogie Nights (at least). If ‘Still Alice’ gets her the Lifetime Achievement Oscar, I won’t be mad. The film is about a brilliant professor who is diagnosed with early on set Alzheimer’s. Off of […]

Very sad and disturbing, but all in an entertaining way. Like the other nominated movies that are ‘based on a true story’, you can Google the real people and get all the broad strokes and facts of this story. The beauty of the dramatization in Foxcatcher is in the deadly three way relationship between the Schultz […]
I know. The movie reviews are way behind. As far as the Oscar nominations…we’ll get to that next month when the show gets closer. Can’t solve all my problems at once but they’re all getting solved one at a time so I’m in good spirits. With only three football games left this season, this […]
A song I enjoy from someone you may be surprised by…
Let me be the 130,428,241st person to tell the WWE: ABOUT DAMN TIME HE WENT INTO THE HALL OF FAME!!!!! It really is a shame he didn’t live long enough that we’ll hear his speech. The best all around performer in WWE of his generation. Depending on how you feel about Naitch, you may […]
