“Don’t Think Twice” is an amiable rom com that I wouldn’t say you need to run out to see, but because I love Mike Birbiglia and thought his one man show “Thank God for Jokes” in NYC was genius, I have to promote this movie. Chris Gethard is also equally charming in a vulnerable, boy-needs-a-hug… Continue reading Birbiglia and Gethard, equally irresistible

Eat That Question: Frank Zappa
https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=frank+zappa&view=detailv2&qft=+filterui%3alicense-L2_L3_L5_L6&id=F4D5EB86010CC9751E45BB17E1EDE0512E49840C&selectedIndex=2&ccid=8n0WXeyi&simid=608003727703345974&thid=OIP.Mf27d165deca2c8ae7da78a76c4f5cd66o0&ajaxhist=0 The great thing about Frank Zappa is, he doesn’t need an introduction. Even if you weren’t a follower, if you’re above the age of 45, you know his name. My preconceived notions were that he was a wild man, perhaps even savage given some of the sexually explicit lyrics my friend had played me… Continue reading Eat That Question: Frank Zappa
Woody Allen’s Cafe Society, a place I’d commit to: one day at a time

As I navigate new opportunities and major choices of where to live and work in South Florida, I realize more and more how difficult it is… Continue reading Woody Allen’s Cafe Society, a place I’d commit to: one day at a time
Last Time, First Time, Sing Street, Weiner
Last Time, First Time Dear Reader: I went into the bowels of Word Press’s dashboard to try to correct the inability to comment. But I’m like a bad auto mechanic, simply throwing my wrench around a few nuts and hoping it fixed things. Keep me posted and continued thanks for reading my blog. My last… Continue reading Last Time, First Time, Sing Street, Weiner
Swiss Army Man: Sartre’s Back!
Sartre’s been reincarnated and come back as the film writing and directing duo Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinhert. Swiss Army Man reminded me a lot of the play No Exit in that I kept thinking, when in the hell are we getting out of the woods? I suggested the film to my mom and her… Continue reading Swiss Army Man: Sartre’s Back!
Kicking Two to the Curb: Dead Pool, Pop Star
This should be a New York Times Op-Ed in itself, but if you don’t think our country’s current violence problem has anything to do with the constant barrage of violent images, from the news media replaying fights over and over, to the lunatics at Facebook allowing live stream of the same, to 90% of television… Continue reading Kicking Two to the Curb: Dead Pool, Pop Star
Maggie’s Plan, Nothing Novel
Maggie’s Plan (written and directed by Rebecca Miller) was nothing novel, though the film did have a few highlights. Let’s get the disappointment out of the way first. Actually, no, let me change that view to optimism since I could have written this easily (sorry Rebecca). In fact, my screenplay Buck Up has more laughs… Continue reading Maggie’s Plan, Nothing Novel
Eye in the Sky: Not Your Average Military Movie
Dear Reader I recently heard a celebrity say on a podcast how she cries during films on airplanes more often because the altitude opens up tear ducts. I believe this, though don’t want to bother researching a scientific topic right now. Why am I trusting? When I returned from a long weekend in Sarasota Fl,… Continue reading Eye in the Sky: Not Your Average Military Movie
Why the lobster screams: The Lobster
I pulled an Anomalisa with The Lobster, expectations being through the ceiling. I mean John C. Reilly in a bitter satire about couples and the single shaming that occasionally happens to me? I hadn’t heard ‘smug marrieds’ since the original Bridget Jones Diary book (the movies look like schlock) and I was ready for action… Continue reading Why the lobster screams: The Lobster
The Bigger Splash-A Must See!
A Bigger Splash is a must see, partly due to Tilda Swinton who plays a muted (due to her character’s vocal injury) rock and roll singer. And while seeing this in my new home town of Sarasota, I felt a little like Tilda, muted in my won way by a stress fracture due to running,… Continue reading The Bigger Splash-A Must See!
