When I lived in Colorado it used to be a challenge to see all of the movies nominated for Best Picture before the Oscars. Even once I moved to LA there were years when I cut I close. In 2007 I barely made it, I saw “Letters from Iwo Jimma” the night before the Oscars. … More Oscar Nominated Live Action Short Films
Last night’s episode of “Looking” should have been called “Cringing” or “Self-Sabotage” because Patrick’s actions were so difficult to watch. It’s a bit odd to watch a Halloween episode at the end of February but since HBO shows only have eight or ten episode seasons I’m okay with it. The episode began with Patrick, Dom … More Looking-Season 2-Episode 6
When I wake up tomorrow I’ll have my annual day after the Academy Awards letdown. I love movies so much and I don’t care what anybody says I love the Oscars. No matter what I always love the Oscars. They are always magic for me. Tonight’s awards were no exception…There are always different aspects to … More 2015 Oscars
As always I suffered through the horrible summer movie season looking forward to better film fare in the fall and winter. Oscar season is usually the epitome of why I love going to the movies. However, this year was a different story. This year the crop of films were underwhelming. That isn’t to say they … More The Oscars…Who Will and Should Win
Last Saturday afternoon my husband and I went to see “American Sniper”. When I first saw the preview for the movie I wasn’t at all interested in seeing it. Then when I found out that it was directed by Clint Eastwood I became much more interested in seeing it. I think Clint Eastwood has proved himself to … More American Sniper
Episode 5 of season 1 of “Looking” holds a special place in my heart. It was the episode where Richie and Patrick established their dating relationship. It is Patrick at his best; away from the influence of his friends with his heart completely open. If only Patrick and Richie could have stayed in that day … More Looking-Season 2-Episode 5
Last Saturday night I went to see “Into the Woods” with my husband and my mom. I like musicals and I love Meryl Streep so I was hoping for a fun time at the movies with two of my favorite people. I laughed plenty but at the end of the day the film, like many … More Into the Woods
My mom was visiting from out of town this past weekend. On Sunday afternoon we went to the Hollywood Costume exhibition presented by the Academy of Motional Picture Arts and Sciences (if anybody is in Los Angeles between now and March 2nd I highly encourage them to check it out http://www.oscars.org/hollywoodcostume/) and then we went … More Looking-Season 2-Episode 4
When I arrived in Los Angeles in 2001 I had big plans. So many people that live in this city do. I was going to be a screenwriter. I was going to have my first Oscar nomination by age 25. Over the course of the next three years I wrote four screenplays but nothing came … More Last Man Standing
On Saturday my husband and I went to see “Whiplash”. It was the seventh of the eight films nominated for Best Picture this year that I’ve seen. Maybe “American Sniper” will knock my socks off but based on the seven movies I’ve seen there are two films that stand out way above the rest, the … More Whiplash
