This review will attempt to be spoiler free and vague when mentioning plot details. We can make no promises about the comments. I also want to warn everyone to heed the Parental Guidance rating, as I have yet to hear of a kid under ten that hasn’t left the theater crying in terror1.

1956 – “Around the World in 80 Days”
94th Annual Academy Awards Results
The results are in on this year’s Academy Awards. The award for Best Picture went to CODA, an AppleTV+ release, which won in all three of its nominated categories. The most nominated film, The Power of the Dog (Netflix) took home only Best Director. Denis Villenuve’s Dune took home 6 awards out of 10 nominations, giving it the greatest number of wins for the year. After Dune and CODA, the only film to win more than one award was The Eyes of Tammy Faye, which took home two.

I am going to keep this review Spoiler-Free, and I ask everyone to do so in the comments as best as you can. I don’t want anyone afraid to Continue reading →
Denis Villeneuve to direct ‘Rendezvous with Rama’
The Arrival and Dune director will tackle one of the longest-gestating films in the genre, Arthur C Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama. Morgan Freeman has been trying to get a movie made for a very long time and is still attached as a Producer.
