Why I’m not in the Military – An Invisible Oscar Shoo-in

Guys, I’ve only seen two of the documentaries. I know, I know. Unacceptable. But time and patience just haven’t given into the fact that The Bachelor is in full swing, as is our DVR (Thank you Jimmy Kimmel and The entire Kardashian family). I managed to make myself sit down with the Netflix Streaming account … Continue reading

Denzel Rocks the Plane in Flight

Guilty, Guilty of squeezing as many Oscar flicks into the week leading up to the show as possible. I don’t think this comes as a surprise to many, but wanted you all to know I’ve reached the first step of recovery – admission. Last week, Wednesday through Friday, I conquered The Sessions, The Invisible War, … Continue reading

What we can’t live without… so we gave up

Well, well, well readers – Lent is here. A time for Catholics (and gluttonous baptists) to offer something up to the Lord until Easter. And while many people use this as the perfect excuse to diet, we at the Colosimo (Junior) household are taking it a step farther. Guys, we gave up weekday drinking. Okay, … Continue reading

Side Effects – My Review of a Riled-Up Rooney Mara

First off, has anyone seen this yet? Out today! I got the sneak peek a few weeks ago and can’t deny that this was a breath of fresh, corrupted air in the midst of the Oscar run. A sneaky submission into the most popular film days at the theatre, I almost cashed out because it … Continue reading

What’s Happening at Our House…

It’s time we all admit it – The days of girl’s nights with wine, cheese and homemade dips are over. Pajamas or not, this occasion just doesn’t exist anymore. But it is certainly not because we’re not still watching it. (Please). And it’s not because we’re not hosting the get togethers. Attention world, it’s because … Continue reading

Screen Actor’s Guild Awards Wardrobe Report

One question, why is tea length acceptable again?                     Does a stylist not take measurements first?                     My pick’s for the night.

Beasts of the Southern Wild – Life on the other side of the levee

I talked Mike into watching a movie the other night. Now, that may seem unusual to those of you who know Mike pretty much watches movies 99.9% of his free time, but let me revise the statement by specifying that it was an Oscar nom. That fact and the realization that he’d heard nothing about … Continue reading

Lincoln – A Movie About Our Country’s Greatest Leader

I realize that’s a powerful statement to lead with, but honestly fans, it sums up the way I feel after having seen this movie. In fact, I’m not even going to build up the justification behind my review first. I’m going to lead with the fact that I really, really, really loved this movie. Okay, … Continue reading

Les Miserables – My review (finally)

Well, it took me a little while you guys. I saw this a couple of weeks ago at a quaint dinner theatre in Brookhaven. I loved it. I thought it was a little long, but epic all the same. It was filled with moments of pain, anguish and heartache that truly gripped me to the … Continue reading

Django Unchained – Movie Review

Ohhh, Quentin, Quentin, Quentin. Let’s be frank – this is not a film for the faint of heart or stomach, or spirit even, for that matter. This is a rough, tough, gory, (funny), controversial film about the ways and woes of slavery in MIssissippi before the Civil War. The story is that of Django ( … Continue reading
