Brendan Fraser received a several minute standing ovation in Europe for The Whale. Perfect for him for his return but Darren Aronofsky’s movie may not be for everyone yet it could be uplifting for many.

Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Tenoch Huerta, the Oscar winning team from the previous movie, all help to make this a great experience and great remembrance of Chadwick Boseman.

“Pinocchio” by Guillermo del Toro” is an anti-fascist reference film about death, surely an Oscar contender for best animation or film! Co-directed with Mark Gustafson (animation director on “Fantastic Mr. Fox”), One of the most delightful films of the year…

Colin Farrell deserves an Oscar nomination, very good movie a black comedy that is required for these difficult times. Colin Farrell has been doing great work and this is his time! Banshees of Inisherin is a great movie for our times!

“The Pale Blue Eye” is a great movie! Christian Bale shines brightly again… he might get the best actor Oscar for 2022. Minutes This has been a great year for movies!
