My original review of BOYHOOD, released OTD 12 years ago. "Linklater shows us life, in all its ordinary extraordinariness."
Boyhood - Baltimore Magazine
Richard Linklater’s masterpiece is about childhood, growing up, and time itself.

Who do you think is a bigger star, Zendaya or Tom Holland? Holland has undoubtedly made more money with his films but I feel like she's more iconic.
What are we gonna do with the knowledge that Christopher Nolan’s favorite James Bond is Timothy Dalton?
Is anyone else playing DON'T WORDLE? After years of playing Wordle, it is breaking my brain. Much harder to NOT get Wordle it turns out. (In this case, you use 6 guesses and must honor all the information gleaned from the previous guesses.)
Please read my review of Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY, where I compare it to...GOOD WILL HUNTING?
Movie review: The Odyssey
Christopher Nolan becomes the undisputed king of large-scale filmmaking with this eye-popping retelling of Homer’s epic poem.

Proud of Olivia Wilde for recovering so quickly from the onslaught of misogyny that came during her relationship with Harry Styles and the promotion of DON’T WORRY DARLING. That movie is hardly a masterpiece but it did not deserve the intensity of backlash it/she received.
I’m suddenly seeing Grillo’s Pickles everywhere. Are they super trendy right now or is this a Baader–Meinhof situation?
Grownups are back, baby! My rave review of THE INVITE.

We've been saying this for a while. His whole public persona these days is "I'm your fantasy boyfriend"
This is a safe space, right? Lately Andrew Garfield has been giving me the ick. He’s obviously handsome and charming but he’s been doing a lot of “aren’t I adorable” mugging in interviews and appearances and it’s crept into his film work. I’m sure I’m alone in this but I had to speak my truth.
I literally saw both of them perform at the Newport Folk Festival last year, and I still don't know which one is which.
The fact that there is a band called Goose and a band called Geese is very confusing to me, a middle-aged woman.
The lack of uni at sushi restaurants in Baltimore pisses me off so much.
Nothing could’ve prepared me for how completely insane SIRAT is.
I just realized that IMMORTAL BELOVED and HAMNET would make a great double feature.
I don't feel sorry for A24 one bit. But I do feel sorry for the talented humans who worked with A24 (like Jesse Eisenberg) who can't get any love for their movies through the cacophony of anti-AI noise.
it was literature pub quiz night and our team name "flowers for algae gone" didn't get a single laugh, this isn't the country i grew up in
Finished CALAMITY CLUB. That Kathryn Stockett can write the shit out of a commercial novel. I was putty in her hands.
Guys, I’m a sports fanatic. Seriously. Baseball, football, basketball, tennis— I love it all. And I cannot get into soccer. It’s all tangled legs and kicked shins and flopping and own-goals. It has no flow. They call it the beautiful game but I don’t think it’s beautiful at all! What am I missing?
One legacy of Sex and the City is that you can never use the phrase I couldn’t help but to wonder. Not that I need to use it very often, but it can be an apt phrase, e.g. I couldn’t help but to wonder, if the aliens really came would anyone care? Now I just sound like Carrie writing about Spielberg.
DISCLOSURE DAY is rollicking fun until it gets a little...moist. My review.
Movie review: Disclosure Day
If aliens were among us, would you want to know? Would you care?
