One of the casualties of me having an insane schedule the last year was the fact that I had no time to read any books. This is something I plan on rectifying this year, and for my first Wayback Wednesday I thought I’d get you all along on the ride. I am currently reading A Brief History of Seven Killings and finding it a fascinating sprawling character piece. But what of the books I finished? Well here’s a selection of books you should check out.
Happy New Year to all of you! I hope you are excited cause we are heading into the home stretch before the Globes announce their winners and the Oscars announce their nominees. Because of this, the Oscar predictions needed to take on a more drastic look, so I really tried to be judicious with my choices. Enjoy!
Welcome to the year of our Lord 2015! 2014 was a really interesting film year and as I was looking at the 2015 lineup I was less than enthused. Not to say that it won’t have some good things but that this year isn’t as jampacked as 2014 seemed to be. Nevertheless there are some wonderful films that we’ll be in store for. Enjoy this curated list!
Just like last year, I’m not going to bore you with an opening paragraph. Here are my New Year’s Resolutions.
There are many movies that chronicle cities in the midst of violent outbursts (Nightcrawler comes to mind) and there are also movies that chronicle men struggling with whether to engage in activities that might compromise with their morality. However, I can’t recall another film that so confidently blends the two as A Most Violent Year does. A movie that feels both in and of its time as well as a complete throwback, choosing the path that is most right means that you will make sure to seek out A Most Violent Year, a wonderfully tense and engaging film.
2014 was not a stong year for music. That might not be the best way to start off a list highlighting the good stuff but it has to be said. However, this might have been a given because of how many classics we were delivered in 2013. There were some standouts in the music biz and this list reflects the collective offering we were given this year. So without further ado, here’s my choices for albums of the year.
