Now that I’ve had a day to digest the continuing oddity of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globes nominations, I thought I’d fire off my annual “wtf” post in reaction to their *ahem* honoured nominees.For starters, any Oscar poolies might want to wait a moment or two before they consider the ten films listed…
Minnie the Moocher
Being a blogger can have its advantages sometimes. For instance, three days ago when I raised a few eyebrows with the admission that I’d never seen 12ANGRY MEN. Enter B: A friend, co-worker, and loyal reader who felt such a sheltered existence couldn’t continue. She was nice enough to bring her DVD copy in the…

That’s me right now when it comes to the year-end…
Careless Whisper
This will be a weird one. I’m about to post a video clip which I have no intention of watching…but felt I should post it for anyone who might indeed be interested. So back in 2003 we were given LOST IN TRANSLATION. It’s a love it-or-hate it film, with the role of a lifetime for…
