I’m a kid at heart, so I couldn’t help but get excited when Sony confirmed Quvenzhané Wallis to play Annie in an updated movie version of the beloved Broadway musical and comic strip.  I grew up watching the 1982 film version of “Annie” obsessively, and though that film was largely panned by critics, it nevertheless […]

Celebrity haters: Is America really this crass and sexist?

Anne Hathaway most hated actress: Why? Here is a recent headline from CNN: “Why you love to hate Anne Hathaway.”  The article states that hating Anne Hathaway has become a national pastime. This is news?  Really?  How this is passed off as legitimate reporting is beyond me.  It’s misogynist and pointless drivel by celebrity haters. […]

The Golden Globes 2013 Nominees (and some predictions)

I really love the Golden Globes because the nominations are broader than the Oscars when it comes to the Best Picture category, with two categories for Best Picture: Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, and Best Picture, Drama. The Oscars have recently expanded to include up to 10 films for Best Picture, but there’s no […]

What’s the difference between the Golden Globes and the Oscars?

The Golden Globes always set the stage for the entertainment industry’s awards season, which starts right after the holidays, more than any other awards show. The Golden Globe nominations are always announced before the Oscars, and the Golden Globes carry some influence over who wins the Oscar, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and […]

Golden Globes 2013: Maggie Smith vs. Sofia Vergara — cat fight?

“Downton Abbey” is a feast for the eyes.  It’s beautifully filmed, written, and acted.  I could talk about it as an important and riveting period piece unabashedly scrutinizing the class system in England, but the real secret of its success is that it’s a guilty pleasure.  It’s the story of the Earl of Grantham, his […]

This is the time of year when we think about giving back to our communities.  Veterans Day weekend is especially important as a time to reflect on the amazing gift those who have served in the military have given us.  Their personal remarkable sacrifices are profound, and this is what makes veterans so special.
