My 2023 Oscar Predictions
Again, a year where I didn't see as many movies at the theater as I used to. If I had no experience in a category, I offered no prediction for those. Here are my 2023 Academy Award predictions.

LiveJournal has become an issue...
Can only access my LiveJournal if the stars are aligned. Like lots of people this platform decided my password was stale but never fixed anything to let me reset it. Well, the secret turns out to be: their new somewhat-obnoxious promotion emails. It has a link to request help or request new password, and that got me in. Usually it's a cycle of " ( Read more... ) -

Aquaman, oh Aquaman... movie review
Aquaman, after all the ways your movie could've been fraught, you didn't avoid ANY OF THEM except for casting a gorgeous hunk of raw sexuality for the lead (instead of Patrick Wilson, who, with bleached yellow hair, looks like the corny orignal version of Aquaman). Jason Momoa is SUCH a charismatic presence he takes your breath away in everything ( Read more... ) -
Movie Review: Fantastic Beasts II (Crimes of Grindewald)
Not a standard practice in a movie review, but I want to reiterate what an amazing fiction writer JK Rowling is. Six books on Harry Potter she plotted, each one more sophisticated, meant for the next level of YA, until Harry graduates from wizard high school (virtually; so much got crashed and had to be rebuilt) and co-saves the world. The many ( Read more... ) -
3 Movie Reviews: Don't Bother
It's darn frustrating when you get so busy you can't make as many movies as you wish, and then some of them are wastes of time. Oh, they have good acting, or mood or whatever. But in almost every case, the screenplay is flawed and the movie doesn't deliver any impact. Sometimes scripts might be fine, but dufus execs at the movie production company ( Read more... ) -
Wendy Predictions - 2018 Oscars
Watching and analyzing films is my thing. I see more movies every year than most of my buddies. And Oscar Night is my jam! As I do each year, I'm posting predictions. I'll be back later to document how I did. UPDATE: Several surprises at the Oscars this year! NO love for Star Wars -- it got nothing. And someone pointed out that Wonder Woman ( Read more... )
