Hey baby, I hear reboots are calling! It’s been nearly two decades since Dr. Frasier Crane’s KACL sign-off. Kelsey Grammer has finally revived his beloved character after several years of rumors and attempts to make it happen. Paramount+’s new “Frasier” series premieres with two episodes this Thursday October 12th on the streamer and. They’ll also […]
Last week I made an annual visit to a screening at the Woodstock Film Festival, one of Upstate NY’s most popular film fests. The movie: “Eileen”, a dramatic mystery thriller NEON acquired the distribution rights to following its January premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. The studio, known for “I, Tonya”, “Parasite” and “Flee”, is […]
Christopher Nolan’s three-hour drama “Oppenheimer” just made history for Universal Pictures. It’s not only the studio’s 10th highest grossing film in North America of the 21st century, but it’s the century’s biggest non-“Fast and Furious”, non-“Jurassic World” and non-Illumination animated movie so far. That’s quite an accomplishment. Universal’s next big potential blockbuster release is “The […]
I watched the first three episodes of “The Morning Show” shortly before they debuted in November 2019. I then caught-up with the rest of Season 1 during the early days of the COVID Pandemic in Spring 2020. AppleTV+’s flagship series, an over-the-top, at times outlandish drama about the workings of a fictional morning television program, […]
Warner Bros. recently delayed “Dune: Part Two” from November to next March. The studio doesn’t want to release the highly anticipated action/drama sequel to their highest grossing movie of 2021 just yet, likely because they’d like the star-studded cast to promote the movie. I thought WB could’ve kept “Dune: Part Two” in November. So many […]
With “A Haunting in Venice” opening on September 15th, you might be thinking, “Didn’t I JUST see Kenneth Branagh as Detective Hercule Poirot?” And you’d be right. “Death on the Nile” opened in theaters just 19 months ago. It was originally set to set sail in October 2020, but COVID caused it to change course. […]
Last September 3rd, “National Cinema Day” was celebrated in more than 3,000 theaters in North America, with $3 tickets to every showing of every movie all day long. It was a gigantic success — 8.1 million attendees (a record high for 2022 at the time), totaling $24.3 million. Hopefully there’s another installment on the way. […]
Denzel Washington is one of the most respected actors of our time. He’s best known for powerhouse dramas… and as Robert McCall in a certain action series that’s releasing a third and final installment at the end of this summer. “The Equalizer 3” opens September 1st. And while Washington very likely won’t be able to […]
Last week I had the chance to visit the iconic Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio for the first time, ahead of this year’s Enshrinement ceremony. The parking lot / exterior part of the property is currently under construction (and I was told it will be for the next two to three years), […]
Christopher Nolan has directed some of the finest, most accomplished actors in entertainment, including Oscar winners Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman. But none of them make my list of my favorite performances in Nolan movies. It begins with the late Heath Ledger, who was incredible as The […]
