One hundred percent is a saying thrown around quite often and was the original Rotten T score for Fire of Love, which like 3.99 gas prices, is now down a whopping reduction to 99%. Being a humanist, on the opposite spectrum of scientist, I can not give Fire of Love a hundred percent, nor a… Continue reading Fire of Love: A Late July Explosion

Leftovers Two Days Straight
I went to see my second viewing of Top Gun Maverick and Where the Crawdads Sing on back to back nights and wanted to comment on both. First, Top Gun Maverick. I felt like I was more ‘present’ for this viewing which can sometimes happen the second time around. Whereas I originally claimed that the… Continue reading Leftovers Two Days Straight
Where the Crawdads Sing: the summer of grumpy critics
Post Script Preface: Email me with comments at irun2eatpizza@hotmail.com I’ve tried for many moons to use the “I’m a Human Capctha with zero success (call me a techno-dunce), HENCE, my email works! I’m upping my score to a 70% after thinking of the adorable little girl who plays the young Kya, Jojo Regina. Kids are… Continue reading Where the Crawdads Sing: the summer of grumpy critics
The Souvenir: Part II; My Kind of Paint Drying

I was just complacent and over tired, but mesmerized by Penelope Cruz looking great even in a frizzy red wig…how does one woman possess such beauty? That’s the main question. I have heard many film buffs say what a genius performance she… Continue reading Official Competition: Dark Humor Warm Up Required
Fourth of July, the movie: Anti-codependence Day
My Thoughts on Louis CK: People are fallible. People deserve forgiveness. Apologies can be judged, but without a mind reader, no one can truly know, except for the ‘culprit’, the true level of sincerity. Having prefaced that, how about a movie review? I was lucky enough to have my finger on the pulse when Les… Continue reading Fourth of July, the movie: Anti-codependence Day
Viva Baz Luhrmann
I’ll admit, back in Moulin Rouge days, I left the first time in the first ten minutes, just too bucked off the equine by Luhrmann’s mania. But then, days later, I got back on the horse and gloriously rode to the finish. Great Gatsby, meh? But Elvis, now we’re talking and now I’m muting as… Continue reading Viva Baz Luhrmann
