Spotlight: Matthew McConaughey’s Big Year
With Oscar nominations announced and Sundance in full swing, it’s easy to get swept up in the hot topic chatter of the best of 2012 and what’s new in 2013. But it’s important to take a step back and remember that despite how fun awards season mania may be, it’s not the be all, end … Continue reading
‘Shameless’ Season 3: Things Don’t Change, Do They?
I’ll be honest, I couldn’t write a recap of the much anticipated Shameless premiere (3×01 “En Gran Canon”) because I was so unimpressed it actually killed me. Shameless came in at #2 on my Top 10 Shows of 2012 list, and after its lackluster return last Sunday I couldn’t bring myself to write a lackluster … Continue reading

McConaughey’s “Mud” debuts at Sundance, first trailer released
Jeff Nichols’ follow up to 2011’s Take Shelter (for which Michael Shannon deserved a nomination and was one of the year’s best) debuted at Cannes last year and is making its American debut at Sundance this week. Looks like McConaughey is continuing his 2012 golden streak into 2013, and that’s fine by me. The once … Continue reading

Boyle is Back! “Trance” with James McCavoy Trailer Drops
Trance came in as my #8 most anticipated movie of 2013 and here’s the first trailer! Directed by Danny Boyle and starring James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson and Vincent Cassel. Stylish, edgy, psychological. What Danny Boyle does best. I have a feeling this movie will give us back the pre-Slumdog Boyle, more of the Sunshine Boyle … Continue reading
