THE 89th ACADEMY AWARDS – THE WINNERS

THE 89th ACADEMY AWARDS – THE WINNERS That was on Oscars broadcast for the books! I went into the night thinking that we’d see a La La Land sweep. After it lost the first few categories, I knew we would be in a night of surprises. Justin Timberlake opened the show performing his rousing and catchy number from Trolls, which had everyone up and dancing in the aisles. Jimmy Kimmel was in pure Kimmel mode for his monologue. He was biting, funny, and easily kept the celebs in check. I can’t tell if Mel Gibson heard the jabs thrown at him, but they were spot-on.Read More →

AND THE OSCAR FOR BEST ORIGINAL SONG GOES TO…

AND THE OSCAR FOR BEST ORIGINAL SONG GOES TO… Every year I like to post the nominees for Best Original Song so you can listen to them before the big night in case you haven’t seen their nominated films. This year the clear favorite is La La Land, the new original musical that acts as an ode to the old MGM musicals and speaks to all of the big dreamers out there. La La Land scored nominations for both “City of Stars” and “The Audition (The Fools Who Dream)”. Both encapsulate the themes of the movie so well, but I prefer the latter song. IfRead More →

THE 89th ACADEMY AWARDS – THE NOMINATIONS

THE 89th ACADEMY AWARDS – THE NOMINATIONS Here we go! This year’s Oscar nominations were announced this morning, and no one was surprised to hear La La Land lead the pack. The Academy loves movies about actors and Hollywood, and Damien Chazelle’s film is a tribute to the old MGM musicals. I posted my predictions yesterday and gave La La Land 14 nominations. My prediction was right on as it has tied Titanic and All About Eve with the most nominations. Coming in next is Moonlight and Arrival with 8 nominations and Manchester By the Sea with 6. If I had my choice, I’d giveRead More →

PAUL PREDICTS THE 2017 OSCAR NOMINEES

PAUL PREDICTS THE 2017 OSCAR NOMINEES It’s that time of the year again. The Oscar nominations arrive in the early hours of Tuesday, January 24th. Once again, I am participating in a “Guess the Nominees” contest for fellow blogger Shane over at his website, Film Actually. Here are my picks for who may hear their name called on nomination morning. Don’t be surprised if you hear La La Land mentioned over and over. I have it down for 14 nominations. That may be a bit excessive, but it sure is getting all of the buzz. Moonlight and Manchester By the Sea should both do veryRead More →

2016: A YEAR IN REVIEW

2016: A YEAR IN REVIEW 2016 was not the best year when it came to the selections at your local movie theater. The spring brought out it the usual duds, the summer season was wildly disappointing, and the fall had a few great films to try and redeem itself. Big blockbuster movies like X-Men: Apocalypse, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, and The Divergent Series: Allegiant were not greeted with the same sort of enthusiasm upon it’s release. All four were disappointing in some regard. We also saw reboots and revivals of franchises with Ghostbusters, Jason Bourne, Bridget Jones’s Baby,and Blair Witch; some of them wereRead More →

Movie Review: LA LA LAND

LA LA LAND Writer/Director: Damien Chazelle Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, John Legend, J.K. Simmons, Rosemarie DeWitt, Josh Pence, Finn Wittrock Sometimes we look to the movies to provide escapism. We want to get away from our everyday life for whatever reason it may be. We can disappear into another world with relatable characters to live out some fantasy for two hours. La La Land will be that movie that sweeps you away from your troubles as you fall in love all over again with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Maybe it’s just the music theater side of me that geeked out over the beginningRead More →
