Trailer: Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17

Bong Joon Ho's latest film doesn't open until January of 2025. It looks strange and interesting. Here is the description from YouTube: What's it feel like to die? From director Bong Joon Ho, comes Mickey 17 - only in theaters January 31, 2025. #Mickey17 From the Academy Award-winning writer/director of “Parasite,” Bong Joon Ho, comes his next groundbreaking cinematic experience, “Mickey 17.” The unlikely hero,...

2025 Oscars: Can Robin Wright Crack the Best Actress Race?

To my mind, the Best Actress race is Mikey Madison's to lose. Don't worry, no pressure or anything. Every so often, an unequivocal performance comes along. I believe Madison's is that performance this year. She is also the "Cinderella" in her film, which voters often respond to in the Academy. I could also add that the nudity and sex don't hurt, but in this case, as with Emma Stone last year, the performance stands out even more than the...

Critics Trash the Emmys, Can the Globes and the Oscars Can Be Better?

Update: Emmys ratings up a bit from the record low in January, but don't get too excited. They're still low. It's still hovering way down at the bottom, as you can see. But it good that they brought it up a bit:   We don't have to wait for the ratings to come out for the Emmys. We know they're going to be bad.

The Curious Case of “Am I Racist” and Rotten Tomatoes

I thought it was strange to visit Rotten Tomatoes to find out what the score was for The Daily Wire's Am I Racist. The main page looks like this - you'll note no score for the movie and reviews listed as "zero." There are reviews, however. There are five: I wondered why there wasn't the 100% score for that. A quick google search brings up this: So it has to be "top critics" and not "mid critics." When you...
