And even more incredibly, it’s very difficult to know what to make of this summer slate. Would-be tentpole event films include R-rated sequels, like Deadpool and Wolverine and Furiosa, and new or untested IP (IF, Twisters). Last summer was very much feast (Spider-Verse, Barbie and Oppenheimer) or famine […]

As I did last year, it’s time to award movies and performances that I think were the best of the best in 2023. If you want a refresher, here was the post I made two months ago about my top films of 2023. There hasn’t been a lot of change to […]

On Tuesday, Oscar nominations were announced and were even more predictable and boring than usual. After several interesting years of Oscar races—2016 (Moonlight) through 2021 (CODA)—this year figures to be a landslide for Oppenheimer as last year was a landslide for Everything Everywhere […]

This coincides with some additional thoughts I’ve had on the subject since the last time I wrote about it. Often I watch a movie, like No Hard Feelings or Oppenheimer, and take a few […]

The purpose of this list is two-fold. To keep track of all these movies, some of which might not get a wide or loud release and […]

There are a ton of great LGBTQ+ books out there, but here are just a handful that I really enjoy. They range from breezy to serious and cover a range of genres. I think I’ll cover them in the order I wrote them […]
