We’re in March of 2022, and the year has been exhausting, to say the least. The one thing that can come off exhausting is the annual Oscars race and the Academy Awards celebration. Last we wrote down our predictions on who’ll win and came out somewhat close? As it is, it’s that time to take a dart and try to hit the mark on what picture, actor or actress, director, and other facets of entertainment will walk away with that golden statue. Look, the general audience doesn’t have 3-4 hours to burn while watching Hollywood pat themselves on the back,…

This subgenre in cinema has been used to deliver a poignant lesson about life, love, death, and loss.  I’m a sucker for these types of films, although not all of them do well. Fortunately, Norwegian film director Joachim Trier gave us The Worst Person in the World to fill our coming-of-age need and this dark romantic comedy-drama should definitely be on many people’s watchlists. The Worst Person in the World directed by Trier—who also handles writing duties with Eskil Vogt—follows Julie played…

So, what should come as no surprise is that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, is finally getting his own biopic. The only thing we have to worry about is that the film will be brought to the theater by Bohemian Rhapsody producer, Graham King. King has secured the rights to create the film from the Jackson Estate that will cover Michael Jackson’s complicated life…

Superhero movies have been well-known to be produced with the idea that children and their parents are the majority audience. Recent Marvel and DC movies have been leaning into the idea that some of their movies can cover more adult-themed subjects that barely go into the realm of PG-13. And then there are some that straight jump into rated “R” like Watchmen, Blade, Joker, and James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. However, Steven Soderbergh is wondering why there isn’t any sex scene in these superhero movies. Soderbergh has been a huge player in the Hollywood industry since the late 1980s indie…

It’s the beginning of 2022 and you know that means The Oscars nominations are here! That’s right. Another year where Hollywood gives themselves a hard pat on the back and demands that you recognize them recognizing films that you might’ve never heard of. There were a lot of great films released in 2021 that held astounding performances from the cast and people behind the scenes. Unfortunately for you Spider-Man fans, the web-slinger’s latest movie was only nominated for best visual effects. Honestly, there were a lot of great choices in the Best Picture category—except for Don’t Look Up—and in terms…

A lot of eyes have been on Matt Reeves’s entry into the Batman franchise since it was announced a long while ago. We got the news that the movie’s runtime will go the distance and now composer Michael Giacchino has dropped his theme for the movie for us to listen to. A moody theme or tone goes hand in hand when it comes to The Dark Knight and Giacchino decided to tap into that for his take on the music for The Batman. We got a little taste of the movie’s score when The Batman trailer dropped last year but…
