TV Review: WANDAVISION

WANDAVISION Director: Matt ShakmanStarring: Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Kathryn Hahn, Debra Jo Rupp, Fred Melamed, Randall Park, Kat Dennings, Teyonah Parris Marvel is going in a new direction to kick off Phase 4. Their latest project is not a massive blockbuster film, but rather WandaVision, a new 30 minute series now streaming on Disney+. Audiences were introduced to Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff in Avengers Age of Ultron while Paul Bettany first provided the voice of Vision in Iron Man. Throughout the extensive Infinity Saga, we’ve seen both characters put through the ringer. Now, we’re finding them in a new setting as characters in a sitcom.Read More →

PAUL’S TOP 10 of 2020

PAUL’S TOP 10 of 2020 It’s a weird year to be compiling a best of 2020 list. With awards season being delayed many of the buzzworthy 2020 movies were released in a very limited capacity at film festivals and are now held for wider release until closer to voting dates in February and March. They’re still considered 2020 movies but will be released in 2021. I haven’t received all of my FYC screeners yet, so I haven’t seen certain movies like The Father, French Exit, or Nomadland yet. Without further adieu, here is my Top 10 of 2020Read More →

Movie Review: PIECES OF A WOMAN

PIECES OF A WOMAN Director: Kornél MundruczóStarring: Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Ellen Burstyn, Benny Safdie, Iliza Shlesinger, Sarah Snook, Molly Parker There are some movies that no matter how strong the acting is, or how important the subject may be, that I only need to ever see once. The new Netflix film Pieces of a Woman is that kind of movie. As Martha and Sean, Vanessa Kirby and Shia LaBeof play a couple eagerly anticipating the birth of their young daughter. The day arrives only for tragedy to hit the young couple forever altering what was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives.Read More →

Movie Review: PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN Director: Emerald FennellStarring: Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Laverne Cox, Alison Brie, Adam Brody, Christopher Mintz-Plasse Carey Mulligan gives one of the sharpest performances of the year in Promising Young Woman. It may just be her best performance to date as well. Mulligan stars as Cassie, promising young woman who knows exactly how to play the men who try to take advantage of her. I debated if the opening scene needed a trigger warning as it involves a date rape involving Cassie. Just when you think the movie is going too far, writer/director Emerald Fennell throws in a curveball showing Cassie to beRead More →
