‘The French Dispatch’: Henry Winkler Joins Wes Anderson’s Star-Studded Ensemble!!!

What a difference a year makes! Last January, if you’d asked me about Henry Winkler, I would’ve described him as the washed-up guy who played The Fonz on Happy Days and went on to co-star in a few Adam Sandler movies and play the principal in Scream.

Lady Bird (2017) Review!!!

Synopsis – In the early 2000s, an artistically-inclined seventeen year-old comes of age in Sacramento, California. My Take – It’s not easy for an actor/actress to transition from a job they have so firmly perfected at over the years, to becoming the one in charge of realizing their vision on screen, while keeping the immense pressure of the critics aside, it’s the audience’s acceptance or … Continue reading Lady Bird (2017) Review!!!

‘Lady Bird’ Becomes the Best-Reviewed Movie of All-Time on Rotten Tomatoes!!!!

With so many reviews, even a critically beloved movie is bound to come up with at least one or two dissenters (or someone like Armond White, who believes it’s his job to play the contrarian). Although small indies can tend to hold on to 100% “Fresh” ratings, it’s a monumental task for a wide-release film. That’s … Continue reading ‘Lady Bird’ Becomes the Best-Reviewed Movie of All-Time on Rotten Tomatoes!!!!
