Man this is going to be a busy month. Between my work, the Oscar Blitz, and any number of other side projects, it'll be any wonder if I sleep at all over the next four weeks. Imagine if I had a girlfriend right now. She'd be so neglected. But hey, I love what I do, … Continue reading This Film is Not Yet Watchable – February 2023

This Film is Not Yet Watchable – August 2022
It's official. As of this month, I will join the growing ranks of old men yelling at clouds, for later this August, I will turn 40.

But in the meantime, to tide us over until the resolution sometime next year, … Continue reading Lots of Jokes Buzzing Around That Don’t Bug You Too Much – Ant-Man and the Wasp
Ava DuVernay Proves That Even the Best of Us Have Off Days – A Wrinkle In Time
Disney's latest adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time (they did a TV movie in 2003) had all the ingredients to be great. First off, it was my favorite book as a child (though my first exposure to the story was in an opera in 1992 put on by OperaDelaware, which adapts children's stories for the stage … Continue reading Ava DuVernay Proves That Even the Best of Us Have Off Days – A Wrinkle In Time
