The new comedy Like a Boss starts out with an arresting premise: female college buddies start a creative cosmetic business that prospers. Tiffany Haddish and Rose Byrne are the owners and Jennifer Coolidge and Billy Porter are employees –sounds like FUN, right? Hopes for fun are dashed by the dreadful script. Women would LOVE to Continue reading ““LIKE A BOSS” WRITERS KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WOMEN”
Brad Pitt looks truly grateful and happy at the premier of his new astronaut film Ad Astra at the Venice Film Festival, where he’s the toast of the town. Brad got great reviews for the film and his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood already has Oscar buzz. After a few years of Continue reading “BRAD PITT HAS REDEEMED HIMSELF!”
If YOU loved Bohemian Rhapsody, you will most likely also love Blinded by the Light. It’s a relatively small budget film but the vision of being in high school in a London suburb in the 80’s is intoxicating. The fashion (everything from Bananarama oversize jackets to skinheads) the hairstyles (from big and frizzy to Flock Continue reading “BLINDED BY THE LIGHT: A SWEET TRIP BACK TO THE 80’S”
We were disappointed that Aaron Taylor-Johnson didn’t land the Elvis role in Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming film, but we realized that Aaron MIGHT not be much of a singer, so Austin Butler could be the logical choice. Austin, 27, DOES have the right hair for the role (did you know Elvis was born a blonde?) Hard Continue reading “AUSTIN BUTLER: BUT CAN HE SNEER LIKE ELVIS?”
Through the years we enjoyed a few of Elton John’s songs, but never thought about him one way or the other. Elton was known to be litigious and never seemed to have much of a sense of humor about himself. But Rocketman changed everything. The movie is totally fun and very entertaining – obviously destined Continue reading “ROCKETMAN REVEALS ELTON JOHN TO BE AN AWFUL HUMAN BEING, BUT SEE IT ANYWAY”
We feel a little sorry for Jason Clarke (center) because he has to make so many public appearances promoting his new movie Pet Sematary and it’s NOT easy it’s to find good things to say about it! We would describe the film in one word: GRUESOME. It starts out with a pleasant and likeable family Continue reading “PET SEMATARY : SOMETIMES DEAD IS BETTER”
The movie On the Basis of Sex should be REQUIRED viewing for ALL men and young women. Mature women lived through this era and will WANT to see the Ruth Bader Ginsberg story. Felicity Jones plays Ruth as a brilliant young student in law school when women were treated like second class citizens. Women had Continue reading “RUTH BADER GINSBERG IS THAT RARE FIND: A LIKEABLE AND PURPOSEFUL LAWYER”
Megyn Kelly has to be THRILLED about the new (untitled) Roger Ailes movie being filmed now – first of all because the gorgeous Charlize Theron (above) is playing Megyn – what could be more flattering than THAT! Megyn was one of the heroic women who took a stand against the arrogant chairman of Fox network Continue reading “DID CHARLIZE THERON GET A NEW NOSE TO PLAY MEGYN KELLY?”
Netflix is going to take home the Oscar for Best Foreign Film this year – Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma is an unexpected MASTERPIECE! We can’t say enough good things about it. This is the story of the director’s memories of his childhood in the early 70’s in Mexico City. His upper middle class family has beloved Continue reading “DON’T BE TURNED OFF BY THIS PHOTO – “ROMA” IS BRILLIANT”
If this is Sweden’s idea of Goth, we want nothing to do with it. The Girl in the Spider’s Web is a movie ostensibly about women (most of them horrible people) produced, written and directed entirely BY men FOR men and it is just as absurd as you would expect. All the female characters think Continue reading “TOXIC MASCULINITY RUINED THE DRAGON TATTOO GIRL”
