    Ready for our top films of 2023? Cinema was back baybe (at least according to some dolls and scientists). Here are some of the standouts of 2023.  Here is the list in alphabetical order.  Anatomy of a Fall – A skillful performance from Sandra Hüller as an author charged with the death of her husband.…

    Ready for our top films of 2022? These are a snapshot of some of our favorite films of the year. Important to note that they are representative of what was available in 2022. Does that mean they’ll stand the test of time (or even the test of looking back next December)? That remains to be…

    We knew it would be bad when the 2022 Oscars said they were going to be giving out 8 Oscars “pre-ceremony.” However we couldn’t have predicted it would have been as insulting as what actually occurred.  There was apparently enough time for Beyoncé to perform her entire number (and NO disrespect to Queen Bey) but…

    At this point even as fervent film fans we find ourselves feeling lackluster about the 2022 Academy Awards. Cinema is still reeling (get it?!) from production and release delays due to COVID. The divide between what the “industry” feels is awardworthy and what “general audiences” deem watchable seems greater than ever.  This is honestly the…

    It’s time for the top films of 2021! According to Nicole Kidman the movies are back! Yet there’s no denying it was another strange year. We got a flood of films that were delayed from 2020. There was an abundance of Marvel films and a bevy of streaming indies. Yet for all the fanfare about…

    In a battle royale of award courting budgets it was clear that HBO came to play. Netflix and The Crown dominated many of the televised categories. The much deserving Ted Lasso reigned mostly supreme for comedy (and rightfully so). Here is our Emmys 2021 reactions: Unfortunately though the stage was once again awash in white…

    In truth there are 20 kajillion Emmys categories which on the one hand is very exciting that a wider berth of artists get to be recognized for something as specific as Outstanding Period And/Or Character Makeup (Non-Prosthetic) or Outstanding Choreography For Scripted Programming.  Alas if every category were to be presented on-air the telecast would…

    We braved the reopening of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure in the pandemic! THEDHK and Jacque lost their minds and decided to buy last minute tickets. Here’s what Disneyland and California Adventure are like now. Disneyland has been closed for a whopping 411 days. This is just the third time in the 65 year history…

    In what was a fittingly underwhelming 2021 Academy Awards telecast for a fittingly underwhelming year, here are our reactions to the show. The intros and speeches went so long and were so stilted. While there were some historic diverse wins, they felt undermined by choices the Academy Awards telecast producers made. We were also deeply…

    We don’t even know how to evaluate the 2021 Academy Awards. We also honestly don’t know if we should care. Still we respect and are grateful to everyone willing to put their content out there in a year where we were desperate for entertainment. However had this been a “normal” year we’re pretty confident we…
