I may have gotten around to seeing Leave the World Behind (I wear an invisible Ethan Hawke number one fan badge), but Renee and Trish, the super giving, sweet owners of Burns Court pushed me to do it asap. Hence, the start of a second new feature of people telling me to watch films: Roxanne… Continue reading Roxanne On Demand: Leave the World Behind

Stockholm the movie & Aha’s Take on Me
Ethan Hawke and Robert Budreau must have formed a synchronicity working together in the heart breaking biopic Born to be Blue considering the dynamic duo are back again in Stockholm the movie (Ethan starring of course and Budreau writing and directing). Being a card carrying Ethan Hawke fan from his pinch his cute cheeks in… Continue reading Stockholm the movie & Aha’s Take on Me
Juliet, Naked and Mission Impossible
One of the wackier weeks I’ve had as a Floridian including computer hijack scammers, a move to a place I’d only been able to view twice, and a leaning into the old temptation of barking up the wrong trees. In the midst of all that, I saw two films: Mission Impossible and Juliet, Naked. It… Continue reading Juliet, Naked and Mission Impossible
My Love & Hate for the new film First Reformed
I haven’t seen every Ethan Hawke film, but I’ve come pretty darn close. There’s some immense sadness behind his eyes that makes me want to give him a hug. Though I fully realize his persona is that of a cad, a guy who left Uma for the nanny. That said, my favorite film remains Before… Continue reading My Love & Hate for the new film First Reformed
What I’d give for the simple life: Maudie

Not only was he kind enough to treat me out for a birthday lunch last year, but he treated me this week to Maudie directed by Aisling Walsh. PLOT (without spoilers of course): And Trace,… Continue reading What I’d give for the simple life: Maudie
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
Born to Be Blue
While I love Uma (she’s one of the few reasons to suffer VonTrier’s Nymphomania) and I have her back re. being dumped for the nanny, I find it very difficult not to be enamored by Ethan Hawke. His finest performance in my book is Before the Devil Knows our Dead (also containing two of my… Continue reading Born to Be Blue
Boyhood, My How Time Flies
I put off writing this blog, thinking I was going to watch the film for a second time, but alas my best movie friend has been occupied as of late, so here it goes: Boyhood was an oxymoron of a film, and this comes from a fanatic of the Before Midnight, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset… Continue reading Boyhood, My How Time Flies
