Movie Review: WOMEN TALKING

WOMEN TALKING Director: Sarah PolleyStarring: Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, Sheila McCarthy, Judith Ivey, Ben Whishaw, Frances McDormand The power religion has over people can be hard to grapple. Some fear the unknown wrath of God which informs many of life’s decisions. Writer/director Sarah Polley’s new film Women Talking is loosely inspired on a true story and tackles some of these questions. Polley uses the voice of a young girl as the narrator of this story as she states, “It’s doomsday and a call to prayer.” The women are not given much in a community run by the power men have over them. They’veRead More →

Movie Review: THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH

THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH Writer/Director: Joel CoenStarring: Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand, Kathryn Hunter, Alex Hassel, Brendan Gleeson, Bertie Carvel, Corey Hawkins There is no shortage of Shakespeare adaptations out there, but Joel Coen has directed a sharp take on the Scottish play with The Tragedy of Macbeth. Denzel Washington leads the film as the title character, Macbeth. He’s visited by three witches, all played by the great Kathryn Hunter, who convince him he should be the king of Scotland. As they say, “Fair is foul and foul is fair” With the help of his wife, Lady Macbeth, he believes their prophecies and kills King DuncanRead More →

Movie Review: NOMADLAND

NOMADLAND Writer/Director: Chloé ZhaoStarring: Frances McDormand, David Strathairn, Linda May Frances McDormand could be headed for her third Oscar with Nomadland. As Fern, she finds her herself living out of her van after a slew of events left her homeless. Her husband passed away and the gypsum plant she worked at was shut down following the Great Recession. The recession killed the city of Empire, Nevada displacing many people. For Fern, it now means joining a group of van dwellers in the desert finding odd jobs here and there wherever she goes. Here’s my review And check out my interview with Chloé ZhaoRead 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 →

They are old, rickety, and haven’t been touched in years with various panels hanging off. She pays $5,000 for theRead More →
