Oh, mama! Can this really be another prequel?! The Disney/Lucasfilms Juggernaut continues to roll with the Star Wars franchise, post-JJ Abrams, with the latest “anthology film”- Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Often considered one of the greatest directors to have ever lived, Alfred Hitchcock took a step back when he made the influential Psycho from 1960. The small, unassuming black and white movie followed Hitchcock’s previous thriller, North by Northwest starring the unflappable Cary Grant.
As of this writing, The Avengers: Infinity War is on pace to shatter a $2-billion global box office. The superheroes have arrived, and it doesn’t matter if you like it or not, they’re here to stay. After all, they’re stronger than us, and can make demands of our Earthly dollars. However, there was another time. […]
There’s a lot to be said about The Avengers: Infinity War. There’s a lot to discuss, there’s a lot to examine, there’s a lot to question. There’s also a lot to spoil.

In just a few short days, Hollywood (the broad concept) will gather at the Kodak Dolby Theatre in Hollywood (the actual physical place) to celebrate each other and to celebrate the art of film. Meanwhile, outside, Angelinos […]
It is a time of fabulous celebration, million-dollar dresses, hundred-million-dollar movies, and billion dollar returns. But more than the monetary value, and the superficial outward appearance, Hollywood is getting together this weekend to honor achievement in film. Joining us for a third year in a row is the official Nighthawks Oscar Czar, Cameron Maris, who […]
In the words of the prophet Mercury: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?” Well, in as much as we’re prerecorded voices speaking from a conceptual diner, this is (in the words of another Prophet, I. Ron Sheik) “the real.” What is not real is the movie we’re watching for this episode of […]
