"Nightmare Alley," the new Guillermo del Toro version, is gorgeous to look at but is dramatically inferior to the 1947 black-and-white movie starring Tyrone Power. Just for starters, people ... |

What a sourpuss!
Seriously, joking aside, I can see that loving musical theater might be a prerequisite for this sort of movie. I didn't find it as good as it was hyped to me, but did enjoy the dr ... |

Sorry, gromit. Nicoie Kidman's horrible imitation of "Lucy Ricardo" alone makes "Being the Ricardos" a misfire. |

IALP is one of the great unsung fillums
And IMO Bogart's and Grahame's double career peak. |

I've always run hot and cold with the films of Paul Thomas Anderson. "Boogie Nights" (1997) is one of my top ten films of all time, and "Inherent Vice" (2014) would probably land o ... |

I've been playing catch-up with some of the Oscar hopefuls I hadn't seen yet. "Licorice Pizza" has become my #4 movie of the year, just under "West Side Story," "The Power of ... |

gromit--Not a weak year. "West Side Story," "The Power of the Dog," and "Don't Look Up" all qualify as great films. LAST year was a weak year.
If that's all you can co ... |

What Weeds said about Belfast. Nice but no cigar.
No idea what Licorice Pizza or Nightmare Alley are doing on a best pic list, they both looked skippable to me, so I did. Was I wrong to do so? Di ... |

Finally saw the vaunted Kenneth Branagh "Belfast." It's been raved about at length by most and sundry. A nice movie that doesn't pull manipulatively at one's heartstrings, but I wish it had ... |

The most important news day of the year is here! The Oscar nominations have been announced!
Kidding aside, the nominations are just as pitiful as usual, with worthy people being snubbed and unwort ... |

Sorry, bart, couldn't disagree more. "Your Honor" was IMO one of the worst miniseries in memory, with the only bad performance ever delivered by Bryan Cranston. Not really his fault, since t ... |

Had forgotten about "A Hero," but now that I know it's on Amazon Prime, that's the movie for tonight. "A Separation" iis my #13 movie of all time. |

West Side Story is my favorite of the year and is the best iteration of the classic musical since the original Broadway production, which I was lucky enough (and born early enough) to have seen c. 195 ... |
