OK, maybe I actually need to rethink this Jewish thing. The opening weekend’s gross of Mel’s Passion is obviously the first sign, and now tonight, courtesy of Mike Fleiss and the great Satan itself (a/k/a the Fox network) we now have Forever Eden. Not that there were any great expectations here, but why isn’t thisContinue reading “THE SECOND SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE”

Plenty of sightings, but still no official word on the whereabouts of Spaulding Gray.

So I came into the blogosphere a good three-to-four years after it was cool to do so, but I’m not going to get caught sleeping again. No sir. When I’m trying to keep-up with the cool kids now, I make sure to try to be no more than a week behind. (OK … so technicallyContinue reading “CATCHING-UP BY BEING LESS FASHIONABLY LATE”

Alright, this has got to stop. Apparently, our fellow citizens (no offense to my enormous international following) think that Mr. Gibson is in fact the Christ. At least that’s the case for $125.1-Million worth of citizens, through Sunday. Were I not Jewish (permitting me to not believe in such a thing), I would find thisContinue reading “YOUR ASSIGNMENT, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT …”

I solemnly swear to say nothing more about last-night’s Oscar-cast. It would be pointless since the review-to-end-all-reviews is here! Thank you, bunsen. I have learned so much. (via TMFTML)

Has the grande damme of them all (I’m sure she appreciates that, especially since I don’t fall under any of the three groups of people in her post) had the only site she did update on a semi-regular basis permanently removed from the Blogosphere? It was the great mystery of the day (it is onlyContinue reading “EULOGIES APLENTY: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING?”

The ubiquitous Gothamist disagrees with me on the Joe Roth appreciation, and reliving the show through the recap almost makes me agree. However, I maintain that the damn show will always be boring, yet like that one last glass of whiskey that pushed us over the edge of the gleaming porcelain, we’ll keep coming backContinue reading “I DIDN’T SAY IT WASN’T BORING”

I can’t exactly keep my mouth shut about the Oscars even though I talked more than enough about them yesterday, and there is this sort of post-traumatic-stress-disorder that accompanies the aftermath of the awards each year. But I’ll try to keep it brief. Especially since I could never compete with Uncle Grambo’s, minute-by-minute recap. I’veContinue reading “My Bologna Has a First Name, It’s O-S-C-A-R”

I’m not big on the Oscar pre-show stuff, but for the record, I want to put my prognosticator hat on and do my best picking the winners. Usually, I do pretty well, but if anyone reads this and loses lots of cash … oops. I’ll give more commentary after the show, but for now, here’sContinue reading “SCREW BARBARA AND JOAN”

Tonight, the night before the Oscars, as has been the custom for the past 18 years on the night before the Oscars, were the IFP Independent Spirit Awards which honor the year’s best in independent film. Lost in Translation was the big winner, as expected, but other worthy films were honored as well. The IFPContinue reading “WHOLE LOTTA SPIRIT GOING ON”
