When we told our friends that we have watched “The Ides of March” on November fifth, the most common response would be, “The what?”. Ides! Then we added, “That Clooney show”. Or I think we should have said, “That Gosling show”. Gosling is involved in quite a few films these days. He must be one [...]

For instance, when we say that a film is quote unquote Oscar Material, that usually means: ya sure, it is artistic but it can quite boring (Cynthia surely did feel that way). Okay, I personally don’t feel that bored because the acting is solid. Real solid. [...]

These days I wake up shocked by the reading on the clock. I have got to do something about it. 4.30pm I sent two text messages to my Movie Review Squad. Unfortunately TK was stuck in the office doing testing on what my best guess would be … something to do with satellite coordinates. Normally [...]
