Warby Parker Saves Frankie Feldman’s Bacon — AGAIN!
Oops! He did it again! It seems like just a few months ago that my Australian Labradoodle Frankie Feldman decided to use my gorgeous new Watts Blue Saphire glasses from Warby Parker as a chew toy. But yesterday, in a fit of puppy pique, he laid waste to my gorgeous Warby Parker prescription sunglasses. I loved those…
AMERICAN ULTRA Review: Not Your Basic Stoner Movie
Previously, I’d found that watching a “stoner” movie is a lot like watching people smoke pot. The ones actually partaking are having a great time, and the rest of us feel left out, bored and annoyed without understanding what’s so funny, intriguing and/or profound. And never having inhaled myself, I especially don’t get the entertainment value. So my…
THE MAN FROM UNCLE Review
If you’re old enough to have been cognizant in the ’60’s, you can probably remember whether you were on Team Illya Kuryakin or Team Napoleon Solo. Now, with the release of The Man From UNCLE, a whole new generation gets to take sides. As for me, although I used to watch the show between the bars of…
GRANDMA Review — My, What Big Teeth You Have
Just because this film has a warm and fuzzy title like Grandma doesn’t mean it’s going to be all home baked sugar cookies and bedtime stories. Lily Tomlin’s “Grandma Elle” is cruel, acerbic and abrasive. That’s not to say that the septuagenarian’s performance isn’t stellar. It’s just that when you take an unlikeable character and put her in a…
RICKI AND THE FLASH Review — Can Meryl Streep Rock It?
Ricki and the Flash has all the ingredients of a fabulous film: written by Diablo Cody (Juno, Young Adult), directed by Jonathan Demme (That Thing You Do, The Manchurian Candidate) and stars Kevin Kline as Ricki’s ex-husband, Meryl freakin’ Streep as Ricki, and Streep’s real life daughter, Mami Gummer, as Ricki’s daughter in the film.…
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE Review — A Rogue Nation of Spiffy Spies
It isn’t often you witness a theater full of critics clapping, cheering and laughing out loud, but that’s exactly what happened at the all media screening of Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation. That film is just so much fun and rife with heart stopping action that you can’t help but become immersed. And for all Tom…
Only in Hollywood: Catbaret Feline Fundraiser
With apologies to At Home In Hollywood Hound Frankie Feldman, L.A. has not only gone to the dogs, it’s gone to the cats as well — at least for one night, as stars like Amy Schumer, Fred Willard, Wendi Mclendon-Covey, Nia Peeples, Nicole Sullivan and Keith David lent their support to the Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats at the annual…
BEST OF ENEMIES Review — Best of Docs
There are so many documentaries out these days that seemingly serve no other purpose than to force an agenda down our throats. Few filmmakers dare to present both sides of an issue, and you come away feeling as if you’ve just been beaten over the head with a spiked propaganda stick, no matter how you originally…
