Le Noir Auteur Reads #2: Magonia, Directing Actors, A Darker Shade of Magic

Hello All! Here’s a new installment of LeNoirAuteur Reads where we tackle books with two magical worlds and try to unlock the magic that is acting.

Film Review: Inside Out

Profound films come a dime a dozen for Pixar, a studio who has been so successful that when they make good movies it’s seen as taking a step back. But of the profound films and subjects they’ve touched on, Inside Out provides the studio with one of its most challenging attempts at trying to succeed. Thankfully I can report that the film more than earns its profound status and a place amongst Pixar’s beat.

If I Had an Emmy Ballot: Best of 2014-2015 TV Season

It’s probably not bold to say, but TV has firmly taken over the conversation. This isn’t to say movies are completely out of the equation, but the stuff happening on television is much more interesting and fun to talk about. Now that Emmy ballots have gone out, I decided to give my final take on the year from June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015.

This week’s On the Floor tackles one of the biggest issues currently facing the film industry, the star system. With Jurassic World making a gazillion dollars and everyone cementing Chris Pratt as a new star, we take a look at the history of the star system, how we do and should determine what a star is and where we go from here.

On the Floor #7: Sense8

On the Floor is back and more unorganized, jumbled, and scatterbrained as ever as we talk about new Netflix show Sense8. It’s appropriate that we have a wide ranging discussion given that the show is about 8 lives in 8 different places and mind melds and the such. We give our overall thoughts on the show, what worked and what didn’t, our fave characters, and who makes our sense8 workout list. We also talk about orgies and Spagettit tries to come for my wig over Lito. Enjoy!
