AlexGherzo | Mar 13, 2023 | 0

The 95th Academy Awards aired last night, and the three or four people who watched it noticed something during the In Memoriam presentation, which honors members of the movie business who’ve passed away since the previous ceremony. Watch for yourself: Did you see any names missing from that video?...

REVIEW: Tár (2022)

Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Jan 27, 2023 | 0

Tár is not a film that is easily analyzed or critiqued, as it does not ebb and flow with the customary arcs and crescendos of mainstream storytelling.
