There’s more … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Oscar Nominated Shorts – Animated (2019)
It’s time for the next batch of Oscar Nominated Short Films after yesterday’s lot of documentary titles. The live action shorts are always my least favorite of the three by a considerable margin.

Welcome back to another year of coverage of the Oscar Nominated Short Films. Unlike last year, I was actually able to see the documentary package in theaters and it will serve as our lead off (the other two will come … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Oscar Nominated Shorts – Documentary (2019)
Season 6 Directed by Michael Hart Written by Robert Holmes After ninety-seven arduous episodes, we have finally come to the end. Not of the season or of the Second Doctor’s era (I’d hardly call them arduous, but we have one … Continue reading Doctor Who (Classic): S06E06 “The Space Pirates”
It’s been eight long years since the release of Attack the Block. It was a great little sci-fi/horror-comedy that would wind up launching the career of star John Boyega and was the role I first noticed Jodie Whittaker in (having … Continue reading Movie Reviews: The Kid Who Would Be King (2019)
It’s not often I get giddy at the prospect of seeing a movie. It certainly hasn’t been that way for a while as I sigh a weary sigh at the films I need to see out of a feeling of … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Happy Death Day 2U (2019)
Once again, as we approach the Oscar ceremony, the Best Foreign Language Film category remains one of categories I have the least exposure to (aside from the shorts whose compilation releases are still to come). It’s also the one that … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Cold War (Zimna wojna) (2018)
My apologies for a delayed start to using this column to celebrate Black History Month as I am eternally playing catch up and last week was busy trying to finish up with the reviews I was behind on. With Valentine’s Day … Continue reading The Weekly Movie Thread Celebrates Black Romance in Film

Season 6 Directed by Michael Ferguson Written by Brian Hayles, Terrance Dicks (uncredited) It’s been a long while since we last checked in, but I’ve been sitting on this half-finished review ever since. Since that time, the modern series has wrapped … Continue reading Doctor Who (Classic): S06E05 “The Seeds of Death”
Today’s the day Academy Award nominations are released so I bet you all still have that at the top of your minds, but we’re going to avoid talking about who did (or didn’t) get nominated since there’s already a thread … Continue reading The Weekly Movie Thread Reflects on the Legacy of the Academy Awards
Like my local movie theater, the weekly movie thread is under new management. While I have no clue as of yet what changes that new ownership will bring (or when it will reopen and frankly, I’m shocked anyone would want … Continue reading Weekly Movie Thread is Under New Management – 1/15/2019

Series 11 Directed by Wayne Yip Written by Chris Chibnall Welcome back to a very special episode of Thirteenth Doctor. We didn’t get a Christmas special this year, a move I can’t say I bemoaned, and instead we got a … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11 “Resolution”

We’ve been looking at quite a few biopics lately, stories that translate real life to Hollywood, but what about those films that cut out the middleman? It’s been a long while since we’ve looked at a documentary as part of … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Free Solo (2018)
