AND THE OSCAR FOR BEST ORIGINAL SONG GOES TO…

AND THE OSCAR FOR BEST ORIGINAL SONG GOES TO… Every year I like to showcase the five Oscar-nominated songs all hoping to win the coveted Academy Award. It’s not every year that we get a plethora of fantastic music with many songs being left off the nominations list. When the nominations were announced, I was surprised that Troye Sivan’s “Revelation” from Boy Erased, “The Girl in the Movies” by Dolly Parton for Dumplin’ and Celine Dion’s “Ashes” from Deadpool 2 weren’t among the songs nominated. We also had films like A Star is Born, Black Panther, and Mary Poppins Returns which featured multiple songs vyingRead More →

TOP 10 MOVIES OF 2018

TOP 10 MOVIES OF 2018 It’s that time of the year again where I look back at the best films of the year. If you’ve been following along with my trip to the movies, you may remember that I switched to doing more video reviews instead of written reviews. I decided to take that form with my Top 10 this year. It’s been an incredible year of opportunities as I’ve been able to participate in more press junkets interviewing some of my idols like Whoopi Goldberg and Diane Keaton and many more to moderating a sold-out Q&A with Timothée Chalamet and Nic Sheff for theirRead More →

TRYLON PRESENTS: HOLLYWOOD’S NORTH STAR: MINNESOTANS IN THE MOVIES

TRYLON PRESENTS: HOLLYWOOD’S NORTH STAR: MINNESOTANS IN THE MOVIES I’ve praised the Trylon many times before with a variety of their series like Joan vs. Bette and their annual Hitchcock Festival.
