Happy 85th!!! Bday to the one and only Al Pacino, my all-time favorite actor. Still can’t believe I got to meet him and have a great conversation with him, this is back at the 2020 Critics Choice Awards.

Wow SINNERS! I was blown-away by Ryan Coogler's latest...it's only April, but it's one of the year's best films...and features one of the best scores and scenes of any movie in recent years.

My full review!

Review: Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' a mix of blood, Blues and brilliance
Horror films rarely resonate as award-worthy movies...not to mention how rare it is to see any Spring release at all turn up on a "Best of" list come year-end. That's what makes  "Sinners"  such a...

Wow! My all-time favorite comedy, the original film series is near and dear to my heart and I’m very prodtective of it…and I have to say, this was hilarious and gives me hope.

Review: 'Thank You Very Much' doc a celebration of Andy Kaufman's genius, or whatever it was
A lot has been said about the one-of-a-kind comedian Andy Kaufman. But somehow, the new documentary about his life, "Thank You Very Much," seems to put a fresh spin on what we've come to know, while.....

MAGAZINE DREAMS is coming to theaters this week...it had been shelved for a long while after the Jonathan Majors controversy, but prior to that was being eyed as an Oscar contender.

Here's my full review of MAGAZINE DREAMS:

Review: Controversial 'Magazine Dreams' finally sees release
For "Magazine Dreams," it's been nothing less than a nightmare. A once-rising star in Hollywood, the off-screen controversies involving lead actor Jonathan Majors derailed his career and this...

The first fully-animated, original Looney Tunes movie ever to be released theatrically...and it just felt witless.

Only the 3rd time in history and first in 22 years that Best Actor and Best Actress winners at SAG, BOTH lost the Oscar in the same year. It happened back-to-back years in 2002 and 2003, and now in 2025, with Timothy Chalamet and Demi Moore winning the SAG but Both lose Oscars. #Oscars

In 2015, Sean Baker broke-through by making a film, TANGERINE, completely shot on an IPhone, on a budget of $100,000. 10 years later, he is on stage winning an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for ANORA.

The Oscars continue to inspire me.

New here—call me Dawn, because I’m always up for a new day (and a good chat). Gen X, lover of like-minded souls, and unapologetically nostalgic for Chi Chi’s and California Coolers. Let’s see what Bluesky’s all about! #newbie #whatsup

Rewatching Game of Thrones for the umpteenth time because apparently I enjoy emotional trauma and bad decisions. Still rooting for the Starks, though. #got #gameofthrones

We didn’t understand you’re supposed to pay to send screeners to critics (an eblast quote to just one group was $13k… have to budget that next time).

It’s widely available on the internet! We prefer Kanopy, you just need a library card and it’s free. U still have a library card… RIGHT?!
