Words about Music, Film, and Television
As is a major yearly tradition of mine, I spend all year doing my absolute best to watch as many movies as possible (I logged 64 films from 2022 last year!), many of which find themselves in competition in the first quarter of the new year at Hollywood’s Biggest Night ⟨™⟩, the Oscars! Like I’ve… Continue reading 2023 OSCARS PREDICTIONS
2022 brought us a mixed bag of movies. Though I’ve seen many opinions from people I trust and respect claiming otherwise, I feel quite strongly that 2021 was far superior. 2021 had far more masterpieces and a bit firmer middle pack of movies. Perhaps 2022 had a few less reprehensible movies (and it still had… Continue reading 2022 MOVIES RANKED
I hate the Oscars! It is happening again! It is Hollywood’s biggest night! Like an idiot, I have cared deeply about the Oscars since I was 14. 2011 was a formative film year for me, with some of my favorite movies ever made competing against each other for top prizes. Every year since then, I… Continue reading 2022 Oscars: Who Should/Will Win?
Despite every passing year seeming bleaker and bleaker in regards to the quality of art being produced in the world (as is such in a society plagued by late-stage capitalism), I am delighted to report that 2021 was actually an excellent year for movies. Sure, that could just be because so many of the big… Continue reading 2021 Movies Ranked
After a full year of studios releasing legitimately no new movies to theaters due to the widespread Coronavirus pandemic (save for TENET, which did NOT save movie theaters), 2020 was filled with a bunch of mostly mediocre to serviceable films that were direct-to-streaming. Cinema, as we used to know it, has probably died forever and… Continue reading 2021 Oscar Talk and Predictions
Martin Scorsese needs no introduction. Marty’s the greatest director alive right now. Depending on if you prefer him or Kubrick (I prefer Marty), he’s probably the greatest American director, too. It wouldn’t be blasphemous to say he’s one of the five greatest directors, either. He’s about as good as it gets, and, despite what some… Continue reading Martin Scorsese Films Ranked
It seems like people are more obsessed with astrology (the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world) than they’ve ever been before. I do enjoy it all quite a good deal (I’m an Aquarius sun, Sagittarius moon, and Virgo rising,… Continue reading FILMS FOR EACH ZODIAC SIGN
On October 4th, 2019, an interview with Martin Scorsese went live where he talked about Marvel movies and was quoted saying, “I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme… Continue reading Marvel Movies Ranked
A24, in just eight short years, has become one of the most beloved and renowned distributing companies in the entire world. In that time, they’ve released over eighty films as a company, many of which have gone on to rack up multiple Oscar nominations and wins as well as widespread critical acclaim. Aside from that,… Continue reading A24 Films Ranked
THE WAY BACK Ben Affleck, star of the surprisingly solid THE WAY BACK When I initially saw the trailer for THE WAY BACK, I rolled my eyes and looked to the person next to me and said, “I know that’ll be terrible but I still have to see it.” Thankfully, it wasn’t terrible and it… Continue reading THE WAY BACK, EMMA, and FIRST COW
