Movie Review: BAD EDUCATION

BAD EDUCATION Director: Cory FinleyStarring: Hugh Jackman, Allison Janney, Annaleigh Ashford, Ray Romano, Geraldine Viswanathan, Alex Wolff You should be able to trust your teachers and their administrators. They hold powerful positions shaping our children’s lives. It then becomes all the more shocking when scandals hit our innocent schools. That very thing happened in the Roslyn schools of Long Island, NY. Dr. Frank Tassone (Jackman) was a beloved superintendent. Everyone turned to him for help due to his calm, friendly demeanor. He’s the last person you would ever expect to get caught embezzling money from his schools. He didn’t act alone as assistant superintendent PamRead More →

Movie Review: TROOP ZERO

TROOP ZERO Director: Bert and BirdieStarring: McKenna Grace, Charlie Shotwell, Milan Ray, Viola Davis, Allison Janney, Jim Gaffigan, Johanna Colón, Mike Epps, Bella Higginbotham It’s 1977 in Wiggley, Georgia and a young girl named Christmas Flint, played by McKenna Grace, gathers together a group of outcast kids and forms a troop of Birdie Scouts. The rag tag team hopes to win their spot on the NASA’s golden record and have their voices sent into outer space. It also stars Viola Davis as their troop mother, Jim Gaffigan as Christmas’ dad, and Allison Janney as a competing troop leader. Here’s my reviewRead More →

Movie Review: BOMBSHELL

BOMBSHELL Director: Jay RoachStarring: Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, John Lithgow, Connie Britton, Mark Duplass, Malcolm McDowell, Allison Janney, Kate McKinnon The women at Fox News had their own to story to tell. Their story was about their boss, Roger Ailes (Lithgow), and the history of sexual misconduct under him and fellow anchors at Fox. As Megyn Kelly (Theron) is battling presidential candidate Donald Trump about his rhetoric toward women, Gretchen Carlson (Kidman) is debating about suing Fox and/or Ailes. She’s warned about going up against someone as powerful as him, but she pulls the trigger. After she’s let go, word spreads as moreRead More →

Movie Trailer: BOMBSHELL

BOMBSHELL Director: Jay RoachStarring: Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, John Lithgow, Kate McKinnon, Alanna Ubach, Allison Janney, Connie Britton, Mark Duplass, Ashley Greene, Richard Kind You may already have strong feelings about Fox News depending on where you fall in the political landscape. What you may or may not know about is the toxic workplace that it became for many of the women who worked under Roger Ailes (Lithgow). There were many big names that came out of there like Megyn Kelly (Theron), Gretchen Carlson (Kidman), Kayla Pospisil (Robbie) and more. Bombshell tells the story of these women along with many others who finallyRead More →

PAUL PREDICTS (SOME OF) THE OSCARS WINNERS

PAUL PREDICTS (SOME OF) THE OSCARS WINNERS This year’s Oscar race will no doubt come with some surprises. The acting categories seem pretty locked in place given that the four frontrunners (Oldman, McDormand, Janney, and Rockwell) have won every other major award so far. It’s the Best Picture and Best Director races that seem a bit more ambiguous as you can make cases for a variety of the nominees. Here are my thoughts on the top six categories And the nominees are… BEST ACTOR 1. Timothee Chalamet, Call Me By Your Name 2. Daniel Day-Lewis, Phantom Thread 3. Daniel Kaluuya, Get Out 4. Gary Oldman, Darkest Hour 5. DenzelRead More →

Movie Review: I, TONYA

I, TONYA Director: Craig Gillespie Starring: Margot Robbie, Allison Janney, Sebastian Stan, Julianne Nicholson, Paul Walter Hauser, Bobby Cannavale If you thought you knew the story of Tonya Harding then think again. I, Tonya takes unique approach at telling her side of the story. The film is structured around on-camera interviews with key players in Harding’s life and those involved in the infamous battle between her and Nancy Kerrigan. It starts off going back to Tonya’s early skating days as she grew up to become one of the greatest skaters to hit the ice. Yes, you read that correctly. She was the first American femaleRead More →
