Ridley Scott is about to turn 87 and just directed the hell out of GLADIATOR II! That’s fucking sick, no ifs, and, or buts. A true titan!

It’s Time! Hoping to be entertained!!!

Sir a new best supporting actress contender has just emerged.

#wicked

Liked but did not love EMILIA PEREZ. Performances are strong with Saldana being the clear standout. Half the musical numbers worked exceptionally well, but the film struggles to overcome a cliched and hollow story.

My Review: youtu.be/lPjsifPEELw?...

In person, got to witness De’Aaron Fox drop 109 points in 24 hours. My guy!

Right now my top 5 predictions for Best Actress are:

1. Mikey Madison ANORA
2. Angelina Jolie MARIA
3. Karla Sofia Gascon EMILIA PEREZ
4. Demi Moore THE SUBSTANCE
5. Nicole Kidman BABYGIRL

Erivo is my 6 who after this week may have to be moved into my top 5

For those who do not know me, I’m Ben Tito Friedman and I spend my days talking about movies on the internet (primarily YouTube) and also spend a lot of my free time heavily invested in a basketball team that has caused me so much pain over my 26 years on earth. But at least we got Bibby!

AMERICAN FICTION showcases two of our best actors doing incredible work. Jeffrey Wright and Sterling K. Brown are wonderful in this funny, poignant satire! #AmericanFiction

I found the crown of YouTube Film Punditry lying in the gutter, I picked it up, and place it atop my own head.

Ridley Scott is back with his bizarre, psychosexual-comedy/war epic NAPOLEON. Joaquin Phoenix, WHAT A FREAK!

At this point I think it’s safe to say that Kang the Conquerer is a failure within the MCU, and giving the Majors of it all I am perplexed why #MCU isn’t changing course, especially since we know they don’t mind beginning from scratch…

@kphipps3000.bsky.social joins me to discuss Martin Scorsese’s THE IRISHMAN.

Glad I got the chance to rewatch. When this film released it was during my Sr. Year Finals week, thus I was forced to watch in chunks on my iPhone between studying and exams. Took me 5 days. Much preferred this experience!

One of the first episodes I recorded in the series is a movie I lovely deeply! Martin Scorsese’s SILENCE! @byclaytondavis.bsky.social joins me to discuss a movie that resonates deeply for both of us! A wonderful conversation!
