Andor with more realistic sets and professional Academy Award-nominated co-writers like Beau Willimon, Tony & Dan Gilroy is a step up. The directing by Toby Haynes is a step above Deborah Chow’s work, although that’s not saying much. It still suffers from…
To Academy CEO Bill Kramer and President Janet Yang. What’s more exciting? An actual Best Performance acting race between Michelle Yeoh and Cate Blanchett which Yeoh deservingly won? Or the Academy door prize prematurely celebrating whose career is more over between Jamie Lee Curtis and Angela Bassett? It’s ridiculous because that’s what it feels like…
Defying the odds against Dinosaurs, Batman, James Cameron and even Marvel superheroes, Tom Cruise bet on himself and delivered; the highest-grossing domestic movie of the year, his career, and the highest-grossing film in Paramount Pictures’ history.

I remember when this package deal was announced: Universal Pictures books George Clooney & Julia Roberts to theatrical Ticket to Paradise. ‘What is this the ’90s?’ one comment wrote. Indeed, this does feel like the one 90’s era vehicle these two A-List stars forgot to make. But a decade after the genre imploded and got…
