The coming-of-age apocalyptic adventure comedy, Love and Monsters, is now available for audiences to watch on physical media. Content Warning: there are several nerve-wracking scenes involving a dog. In most instances, we don’t know what is going to happen. I don’t like watching films where the dog dies so I’m going to let you know what happens. When the film came to an end, the dog was very much still alive. Thank G-d. Some of…

Warner Bros. Pictures botched the theatrical and streaming rollout of Wonder Woman 1984 in one of the worst ways possible. I was very outspoken on Twitter upon learning that the Wonder Woman 1984 embargo would be lifting on December 15. Why? Because once again, the studio decided to screen their film for select press–including those press members participating in press junkets and receiving swag for doing so. In choosing who got to see the film…

An annual tradition, Solzy at the Movies presents the Solzy Awards for 2020 as a way of honoring the best achievements this year in film. When it comes to the Solzy Awards, my criteria are usually the same as the Oscars with the traditional 7-day minimum release in Los Angeles and New York. What differs this year is that I am not adding on January and February. Personally, I would prefer that my awards-voting groups…

"Sundance 2021: First Wave of Titles Announced" The Solzy Awards for Documentaries in 2020 honor the best of the documentary films that were released during the past year. Last month, I voted in my second-ever Critic’s Choice Documentary Awards. Some of these awards do match how I voted during the CCDA. However, there were some instances in which my preferred documentary was not a nominee earlier this month. In other instances, some of my categories were not a category up for voting…

2020 World Series Champions: Los Angeles Dodgers, the official World Series film, arrives today on Blu-ray so that fans can relive the Fall Classic. It’s not an unfair statement to say that this year was among the most unique for Major League Baseball. After baseball shut down in March, nobody knew if the season would ever restart let alone have a postseason. With outbreaks on the Florida Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals, the postseason felt…

The outright fabrications in Mank are just too much to overcome in the David Fincher film and they have not sat well since viewing the film. When it comes to Orson Welles, the film sides more with Pauline Kael’s discredited piece on the Citizen Kane origin. I understand she’s dead and cannot defend herself but history has largely proven her piece to be wrong on the matter. But here’s the thing: there are too many…

Popeye arrives on Blu-ray for the first time ever ahead of the Robert Altman film’s 40th anniversary of its 1980 theatrical release. The film starts out with a throwback to the classic cartoon during the Adolph Zukor era at Paramount. Popeye also marks the big-screen debut for Robin Williams. This film took producer Robert Evans and screenwriter Jules Feiffer some three years to get the film into production. Funny enough, Evans first got the idea…
