Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings
Poor Things (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2023) 8/10 By turns outrageous, hilarious, wise and sad, this film, based on the novel by Alasdair Gray, sort of echoes Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. A medical student (Ramy Youssef) becomes an assistant to an eccentric doctor (Willem Dafoe) and falls in love with his c...

Re: Dune, Part 2
Great visuals but the rest is such a bore with repetitious action sequences that are not even thrilling. I kept wondering how the riders dismounted from the worm after the ride was over.

Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings
Murder is Easy (Meenu Gaur, 2023) 6/10 Agatha Christie's latest adaptation has a twist in its casting. The original story's lead protagonist is changed here from a white English police officer to a Nigerian attaché which totally changes the dynamics of the story but in a good way. With black actor D...

Re: Ceremony Details
If it gets more big names on stage, I'm all for it. It was annoying (slowed down the show) but a novelty when they last did this. So many previous Oscar winners appeared on the show. If they can rope in big names from the past it would add old-style glamour to the proceedings. Although the older lo...

Re: R.I.P. Richard Lewis
Lewis and Curtis had great chemistry in the sitcom Anything But Love - a show that was a sort of precusor to Mad About You and Friends. Curtis won a Golden Globe and a sassy Ann Magnuson provided laughs. Lewis is funny as the neurotic but tough reporter at the Chicago-based magazine. Lewis, a funny ...

Re: SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
I'm the only one wanting this to happen. Even Bening knows it ain't happening. She was a no show at the ceremony.

Re: SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum have amazing chemistry for people who've been divorced for three decades. Oh wow, the minute the two arrived I kept thinking what connection the two had apart from being co-stars in The Fly. And I couldn't figure it out. Ofcourse they were married to each other way bac...

Re:
The only sure win I saw for Coming Home was Jon Voight. For me Fonda was a distant second choice behind Ingrid Bergman in Autumn Sonata Actually even Jill Clayburgh in An Unmarried Woman was far better than Fonda. Even though Bergman was the best of the five Clayburgh should have in fact won that y...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Makeup and Hairstyling
The only question that I have is whether or not voters just hate Bradley Cooper and are truly put off by "Jewface" (hate that phrase). Or if they really thought his nose in the first part of the movie wasn't needed (it wasn't). But I think history strongly favors Maestro taking this one. ...

The Beekeeper (David Ayer, 2024) 7/10 Nobody comes close to being as kick-ass on screen than Jason Statham. Not even Bronson, Stallone or all those dweebs from the Marvel & DC Universe. When his old landlady (Phylicia Rashad) gets taken for a ride in a phishing scam and commits suicide, a beekee...

Re: BAFTA WINNERS
Oppenheimer had a big day -- feels like it must be the most BAFTAs any film's won in quite a while -- This made me curious. Oppenheimer won 7 Baftas out of 13 nominations. The film with the record win is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1970) - which won 9 awards from 10 nods. It won for Best Fi...
