Dune (2021)

Posted on November 20, 2021 by Mark DuPré

Harriet

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Mark DuPré

It’s hard to believe that this is the first film on the life of Harriet Tubman, the legendary 19th-century “conductor” on the Underground Railroad. This film should be a remake, or at least a retelling, as this is a … Continue reading →

Posted on March 5, 2018 by Mark DuPré

Oh, my. Where do you start covering this year’s Oscars? Do we cover the awards, the show itself, the politics, the dresses, the awards as a window into….whatever? The best I can do at the moment is a series of … Continue reading →

2018 Oscar Noms—First Thoughts

Posted on January 28, 2018 by Mark DuPré

I love Oscar season. Each year is fascinating for different reasons. While genuinely good work gets recognized (and some good and great work gets ignored), the other factors that figure into the nominations, and then the final awards, change each … Continue reading →

2018 Golden Globe Thoughts

Posted on January 8, 2018 by Mark DuPré

Ah, yes, the relatively meaningless Golden Globes. Well, since the shelf life for interest in this first awards show of the season is so very short, I must needs get my thoughts out rather quickly. Again, the Golden Globes only … Continue reading →

Lady Bird

Posted on December 29, 2017 by Mark DuPré

Lady Bird, for those my age, has nothing to do with a former president’s wife. It’s the story of a high school girl, beautifully acted, focusing on her relationship with boys and with her mother, also beautifully acted. In some … Continue reading →
