Unfortunately, I got out of my movie watching routine the last few weeks.

Trying to get back in the groove with my first viewing of THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (1956) in 4K.

Is the last of Jimmy Stewart’s four Hitchcock movies I needed to see.

Just finished WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION.

I owe #MarleneDietrich an apology. I really wasn’t familiar with her game.

#NowWatching the 1954 drama EXECUTIVE SUITE.

Actress Nina Foch looks quite a bit like #Weapons actress Juila Garner to me.

What’s the best thing I can say about the new #Superman movie?

Just like what the third season of #StarTrek: Picard did for Trek, it’s making me want to consume more #Superman content.

First, the graphic novel that serves as an inspiration for the 2026 #Supergirl movie.

Over a three-year period, Henry Fonda portrayed:

a Secretary of State nominee (Advise and Consent, 1962)

A presidential candidate (The Best Man, 1964)

And the president (Fail Safe, 1964)

Today I learned that O Brother, Where Are Thou? (2000) is named after and inspired by a fictional book used in the 1941 movie Sullivan’s Travels.

#NowWatching BEWITCHED (2005) for the first time.

Dear lord, I’ve never used “adorable” to describe Nicole Kidman, she’s the definition of it here.

Richard Basehart really was Hollywood’s go to actor for playing mentally disturbed characters in the late 40s/esrly 50s.

If you’re trying to find redeeming qualities about these two guys, you need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

In less than 48 hours is the debut of a podcast project (and companion newspaper stories) I’ve spent a year working on.

This is the biggest thing I’ve done in my career.

Time to read a new #StarWars book that in no way shape or form resembles anything happening in real life.

Nope. Nothing similar. Completely void of relevance.

It’s 1989.

You can buy “Back to the Future II” Solar Shades at Pizza Hut for $2.

Life is good.
