Lucy

LucyI love Scarlett Johansson. I also love “I Love Lucy.” But I didn’t really love Scarlett Johansson as ‘Lucy’ in the new film “Lucy.”

As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, I didn’t really like “I love Lucy” all that much. But I still do love Scarlett Johansson. I just didn’t love her as ‘Lucy’ in “Lucy.”

Boyhood

BoyhoodI was born premature on March 31, 1970.

I was also premature on March 11, 2011 when I quickly rushed out of the theatre and spewed out that “Battle: L.A.” would win ‘Best Picture’ at the Oscars.

In 2013 I held out a little longer, not releasing my “prematurity” until November 4, when I busted out of the old cineplex moaning that “Blue is the Warmest Color” would sweep the Academy Awards.

You know what? Actually, tonight I’m going to be mature. I’m going to be mature in telling you all that I have found the “hands down” winner of this year’s “Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: Film of the Year.” Continue reading Boyhood
