You guys – they just want attention. You know who they are: We see these folks acting the fools every single day, and a large mob of ’em recently took over the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. Oh, for sure, sometimes, we are the asshole – but, fingers crossed, the moment passes you by, […]

Your Zebras, America
Happy New Year. I can see it and yet, I barely believe it: America’s democracy is under siege, by Donald “the Impeached” Trump’s terroristical MAGA Nation, which this morning did as told and took the United States Capitol (like, the heart of Washington, D.C.); at best, to interrupt the certification of the 2020 win of […]
‘Wonder Woman 1984’ x King of Cups
And there on Christmas she was, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, the hero we the pandemic peeps of the year that wasn’t needed, nay, deserved, in a long-awaited blockbuster sequel premiering at oh-so-select theaters across our COVID nation (ay, pero qué pasó, California – we know better than to surge at this stage in the game, […]
The Thing About ‘Tenet’
The thing about Tenet is it’s a palindrome with a twist: You can spell the title of Christopher Nolan’s latest opus the same backward and forward and you can enjoy the movie front to back and back again, too. Tenet’s science-fiction of the first rate. Don’t try to understand it, one of the characters we […]
‘Greenland’ x King of Cups
Full disclosure: I had dinner “with” Gerard Butler, once upon a 2013 Art Basel Miami Beach soirée hosted by Dom Pérignon and the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Roger Dubuis. He wore the Excalibur timepiece, in case you were wondering; and we talked about Paul Walker, who had just died in that terrible car accident, and […]
Wandering Hearts
Of all the movies that were, weren’t, still could be, won’t be in 2020, but will be in 2021, I suppose Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland, based on the 2017 non-fiction book Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder, is the one I’m anticipating the most. Zhao is the critical-darling director of The Rider, […]

Good thing the novel coronavirus vaccine has made its way stateside. Today, nine-ish months after humanity and the world went into lockdown on account of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and as the United States of America’s death toll passed 301,000, Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse in Queens, N.Y., became the first American to be […]
Looking for Mercy
Gerard Butler will not quit running. The indefatigable Fallen franchise star is headlining the upcoming On Demand title Greenland, a thrilling and dramatic actioner in which his John Garrity, his estranged wife Allison (Deadpool’s Morena Baccarin), and their kid will hit the road on a journey to the world’s largest island, seeking sanctuary from a […]
Habemus Vaccine
Oh joy. Today, five days to the day that’ll mark eight months in self-isolation on account of the COVID-19 global pandemic, elderly patients in the U.K., including a man named William Shakespeare (GTS), received the first doses of a vaccine for the novel coronavirus that has infected more than 68 million earthlings and claimed more […]
Risky Business
One mistake can change your life, or so reads the one-sheet for Hilary’s Swank’s upcoming movie, Fatale. So it’s a something, not a femme…. Can’t it be both? Touché. And it goes a little something like this: Derrick (Michael Ealy), a successful sports agent, watches as his picture-perfect life comes undone after his sexy and […]
