Movie Breakdown: The Prom
Pre-Screening Stance: I have to admit that my level of excitement for The Prom isn’t particularly high. The Ryan Murphy (Glee) musical very much looks like something that has a good chance of being wildly...

Movie Breakdown: Wild Mountain Thyme (Noah)
Pre-Screening Stance: The trailer from this movie is seemingly a sentient time traveling creature that has beamed itself from the late 1980s, consumed a handful of modern actors and then situated itself in the hearts...
Movie Breakdown: Wild Mountain Thyme
Pre-Screening Stance: Wild Mountain Thyme looks – for lack of a better word – sweet. I could use some of that here as this bizarro year winds down. Speaking of bizarro, John Patrick Shanley has...
Movie Breakdown: I’m Your Woman (Noah)
Pre-Screening Stance: Everything about this flick – the setting (late 70s small-town America), the cast (Rachel Brosnahan), the look (mooooody) – makes me excited. I’m excited. Post-Screening Ramble: In just about every gangster movie we...

Movie Breakdown: Sound Of Metal
Pre-Screening Stance: Sound Of Metal looks intense, and also sort of scary for anyone (like myself) who engages in a lot of live music. On another note, this film is serving as the feature length...
Movie Breakdown: Uncle Frank
Pre-Screening Stance: Alan Ball created Six Feet Under, which is one of the best shows of all-time, so I will always have some level of interest in anything that’s written/directed by him. With that being...
