BAFTA Awards

Back to the Movies at the BAFTA’S

So this year EE invited me down to the BAFTA’s red carpet for an experience like never before, the UK’s most glamorous of film festivities as the Hollywood glitterati walk the stretch of glamorous carpet and enter the Royal Opera House for the prestigious awards ceremony. In a heartbeat my tuxedo was packed, my bag…

Who's Driving Doug

Who’s Driving Doug Review

  Who’s Driving Doug revolves around a reclusive wheelchair-bound young man (Mitte) who goes against his over-bearing mother’s wishes and takes a road trip with his new driver Scott (Ray Wiliam Johnson) and high school crush Stephanie (Paloma Kwiatkowski) that transforms their lives. This movie pulled me left and right to the point where I…

Straight Outta Compton Review

Straight Outta Compton is robust, vital entertainment, painting a vivid tapestry of one of the most turbulent periods of modern societal unrest, and telling an oversized, extremely engrossing tale that’s distinctly American and part of the greater cultural shift over the last 20 years. In a field of 10 potential nominees, even if I felt…

Brookyln Review

Brooklyn is a delightful film that had me crying pretty much all throughout. It’s heartfelt, it’s poignant, it’s sentimental (in the best possible way), and it features a performance of exquisite care and radiance by Saoirse Ronan, who in film after film has impressed, but here, genuinely dazzles. And completely steals your heart. And did…

Black Mass Review

Black Mass is grim, ugly stuff. There’s nothing glamourized here about the familiar crime and mafia ingredients that the well-worn narrative traffics in. Director Scott Cooper does a solid job with a lot of material, but something about this story screamed for epic length; this is the second consecutive picture for Cooper where I felt…

During the cocaine explosion of the 80’s and 90’s New York City police officer Michael Dowd led a crew of crooked cops to build his own crime empire.

Tangerine Review

Tangerine is a bold, raw, and deeply felt independent film from director and co-writer Sean S. Baker; it’s the first film I’ve seen of his and now I eagerly anticipate his next move as a filmmaker. This is the often hysterical, often draining story of two African-American transgender prostitutes, played with loud charm by Kitana…
