Godzilla makes its arrival on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack and Digital just in time for the release of Godzilla vs. Kong. While the 2014 Godzilla film is meant to serve as the first film in a new MonsterVerse, there’s simply not enough of the monster in action. The film starts off in the Philippines in 1999 where Monarch scientists Ishiro Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) and Vivienne Graham (Sally Hawkins) make a surprise discovery. Whatever…

Conference panels and short films might be online through April 18 but this year’s 2021 SXSW Film Festival ended on Saturday. I knew going into this year’s film festival that chances were high for a non-productive fest. Would it have been the same if I were physically attending in person? I don’t know. What I can say for certain is that during an in-person fest, I’m not spending so much time on my phone or…

"93rd Oscars Nominations Announced" After last year’s edition got wiped out due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2021 SXSW Film Festival will take place entirely online. If you’re looking to fully recreate the SXSW experience, make sure to have a day where you pretend to lose it to traffic issues. I missed out on a film in 2018 because neither Uber nor Lyft would take my card and the taxi service wouldn’t respond to a pickup request. It can…

The British Academy of Film & Television Arts (BAFTA) revealed the nominations for the EE British Academy Film Awards in 2021. In glancing at the list, a major take away is Best Actress in a Leading Role is not going to be a consensus pick this year. If anything, the eventual Oscar winner might have one major win during these major awards coming down the stretch. BAFTA nominees Vanessa Kirby or Frances McDormand are also…

The 26th annual Critics Choice Awards were held on Sunday evening and Solzy at the Movies had the honor of voting for the award winners. In an effort to display complete transparency, the following is how I voted during tonight’s Critics Choice Awards. There were some instances where I voted one way while knowing deep in my gut that the winner would be someone else. I’m proud to be a member of this organization. We’ll…
"Critics Choice Awards: My Ballot" The 26th annual Critics Choice Awards may have gone virtual this year but Netflix took home the most wins between film and TV. The Critics Choice Awards are bestowed annually to honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement. Historically, these awards are the most accurate predictor of Academy Award nominations. It’s almost a safe bet by now that Nomadland will take home Best Picture in April. Chadwick Boseman and Daniel Kaluuya also seem like…
"Critics Choice Awards: The 26th Annual Winners"
Last week’s Los Angeles Times expose into the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the Golden Globe Awards was pretty damning. The only reason why the Golden Globe Awards get so much attention is because of the fact that it’s on NBC. Well, the open bar makes for a laid atmosphere, too. Take both away and they are no different than other groups of journalists voting for awards. Oh, wait. Can we even call them journalists?…
