PAUL’S TOP 10 MOVIES OF 2022

PAUL’S TOP 10 MOVIES OF 2022 It’s been another big year at the movies. I saw some terrific movies this year, both in the theater and sitting at home with the plethora of streaming services out there. There’s a little something for everyone whether you wanted large action films, horror films, legacy sequels, animation, and more. 2022 also marked my first in person press junket since 2020 with Dwayne Johnson’s DC film Black Adam. Did I mention that I became a dad?!?! That was the very best thing that happened in 2022. As you can imagine, my moviegoing was not nearly as robust as itRead More →

Movie Review: THE FABELMANS

THE FABELMANS Director: Steven SpielbergStarring: Gabriel LaBelle, Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Judd Hirsch, Seth Rogen, Mateo Zoryon Francis-DeFord, David Lynch Steven Spielberg has frequently used his family and childhood as themes in his films like E.T. The Extra Terrestrial and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Now, he faces his past head on in The Fabelmans. This is the fourth film between Spielberg and screenwriter Tony Kushner after Munich, Lincoln, and West Side Story. Together they’ve written The Fabelmans as a meditation and collective healing over some Spielberg’s personal childhood traumas stemming from being Jewish and having divorced parents. In the movie, he’s named SammyRead More →

FALL MOVIE PREVIEW

FALL MOVIE PREVIEW I shared my Fall Movie Preview on this week’s episode of Twin Cities Live on KSTP. While I would have ranked The Fabelmans as my #1 most anticipated movie, I had a hard time ranking the others and decided on chronological order. Plus, due to the time limitations, I only chose five movies. Here’s my segment with a look at: Hocus Pocus 2 (September 30) Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (November 11) The Fabelmans (November 23) Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (December 23) Babylon (December 25)Read More →

Movie Trailer: THE FABELMANS

THE FABELMANS Director: Steven SpielbergStarring: Gabriel LaBelle, Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, Judd Hirsch, Julia Butters, Oakes Fegley, Gabriel Bateman, Robin Bartlett One of the most highly anticipated movies of the fall is The Fabelmans from master director Steven Spielberg. It just had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and received rave reviews. Spielberg looks to have one of his most personal and emotional films to date as he’s drawing on his own childhood, family, and love of cinema for this memory piece. From the press release, “The film stars Gabriel LaBelle (The Predator, American Gigolo series) as 16-year-old aspiring filmmaker Sammy Fabelman; four-time Academy Award® nomineeRead More →
