PAUL’S TOP 10 OF THE DECADE – THE 2010s

PAUL’S TOP 10 OF THE DECADE – THE 2010s It was a fun treat to look back at the best films of the last decade. There were so many movies that resonated with themes of self-acceptance, finding your place in this world, sexuality, topical issues, family and more.

CRITERION COLLECTION SALE AT BARNES & NOBLE

CRITERION COLLECTION SALE AT BARNES & NOBLE It’s that time of year again for the fall Criterion Collection sale at Barnes & Noble. It happens twice a year when their entire catalog is 50% off. Plus, you can save another 10% with your member card. Sorry to say that no other coupons can be added on. Apparently Criterion has caught on to the sneaky tricks we’ve all been pulling over the last few years. The sale has been going strong all month and will conclude on November 28th. I’ve only picked up two titles so far, Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller and Richard Linklater’sRead More →

Movie Review: EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!!

EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!! Writer/Director: Richard Linklater Starring: Blake Jenner, Tyler Hoechlin, Ryan Guzman, Justin Street, Wyatt Russell, Glen Powell, Temple Baker, J. Quinton Johnson, Will Brittain You may remember me obsessing over Richard Linklater’s previous film Boyhood when it arrived in theaters in 2014 and became a big awards season contender. I also highlighted his film Dazed and Confused as part of my Criterion Collection series. His latest film, Everybody Wants Some!!, is considered the “spiritual sequel” to Dazed. No, we’re not seeing what happened to the characters previously played by Matthew McConaughey or Ben Affleck. Linklater has chosen a whole new cast of upRead More →

PAUL’S YEAR AT THE MOVIES: 2014 EDITION

PAUL’S YEAR AT THE MOVIES: 2014 EDITION Every year I like to take a look back at my year at the movies. I stole the idea from my friend Max who likes to list every new movie he sees in any given year. This year I sat down and watched 128 new movies. By new, I mean movies that I was seeing for the very first time, whether they were old classics or 2014 releases. 94 of those 128 were 2014 releases. According to my 2013 Edition, I saw 119 films 81 of which were 2013 releases. I suppose 128 is a decent number, butRead More →

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER 2014 OSCARS ROUNDTABLE: THE ACTORS               The Hollywood Reporter offers insightful roundtable discussions with some of the best talent working in the business. I love their Oscar Roundtable series every year, and I try to post each one of them. Here are six actors that are getting some buzz for their work.

THE BEST AND WORST OF SUMMER 2014

I don’t think the 2014 summer movie season will be remembered for the good movies that came out. Let’s face it, it seemed like each week we succumbed to some pretty disappointing movies at your local cineplex. Like every summer, we had our fare share of comic book movies, sequels, and reboots. There were big action franchises that wanted to continue their reign. Some fared well (X-Men: Days of Future Past), while others left us shaking our head in frustration (The Amazing Spider-Man 2). Here are my picks for the best and worst of the summer season, plus some that were pleasant surprises.THE BEST 1. BOYHOODRead More →
