Baltimore Screening Pass-palooza: “Wonder Wheel”!

Get ready for a star-studded cast, Woody Allen at the helm, and a film that has Awards Season Onslaught written all over it (that’s a good thing, y’all.) I’ve got passes for Wonder Wheel, and I’m ready to share.  Synopsis!

WONDER WHEEL tells the story of four characters whose lives intertwine amid the hustle and bustle of the Coney Island amusement park in the 1950s: Ginny (Kate Winslet), an emotionally volatile former actress now working as a waitress in a clam house; Humpty (Jim Belushi), Ginny’s rough-hewn carousel operator husband; Mickey (Justin Timberlake), a handsome young lifeguard who dreams of becoming a playwright; and Carolina (Juno Temple), Humpty’s long-estranged daughter, who is now hiding out from gangsters at her father’s apartment. Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro captures a tale of passion, violence, and betrayal that plays out against the picturesque tableau of 1950s Coney Island.

I can’t wait to see that cinematography; Coney Island is such a fantastic place.  Also, who doesn’t love Winslet and Timberlake?  Let’s go!

Movie News: “Marshall” coming back to theaters!

I’m so glad to hear that this film is getting a second go-round, and just in time for award season! Especially since I’m sure a lot of folks who didn’t get a chance the first time would like to see it, now that it’s received eight NAACP Image Award noms!

Plus, catching Marshall in theaters will be a great way to see Chadwick Boseman on the big screen before Black Panther comes out.  Just sayin’.

So get to theaters starting this Friday, and check it out. (I know I’ll be there…) Read all about the re-release below!

Elsewhere Review: Trader Joe’s Organic Hot Cocoa Mix

Read the original HERE at The Green Man Review!

I love books.  I love music.  I absolutely adore beer.  And when the cool breezes start to blow, I need hot chocolate.  It’s a requirement around here. So when I got some “TJ’s” cocoa in the mail, I rushed to my kitchen to brew up a pot of hot water.  I really liked what happened next.

For my fellow chocolate junkies, this instant cocoa delivers.  There’s a RUSH of chocolate here, from the delicious smell as I ripped open the packet, to the final sip. This is serious cocoa, y’all. Continue reading →

Sick Day Review: Gus Russo’s thoughts on “The Disaster Artist”!

Some days are icky, coughy, hacky bleah days. On those days, I skip the theater so I don’t infect anyone, and ask a friend to take the reins.  Today the lovely and talented Gus Russo will be doing the honors for The Disaster Artist.  Take it away, Gus!

The one-sheet should say: “James Franco IS Tommy Wiseau.”

He has down all the mannerisms, from the arch to the most subtle, to the timing (as the post movie credit clips attest.) Continue reading →
