Hello, folks...
Just a quick note to say howdy. Sorry for the delay in getting the first of the 2014 reviews posted. It's been a busy but rewarding early 2014, and there just didn't seem to be enough time in the day. At any rate, we are getting caught up. With the posting of NOMADS and POSSESSION, the former a personal favorite and the latter a recommend, we are ready to get back into the swing of things. Please expect the below reviews to post very soon, until the end of March - then we begin our Summer 2014 reviews with the release of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER in the first week of April (?). Yup. Summer is starting earlier and earlier...

# 539 - THE LEGO MOVIE (2014)
# 540 - ABOUT LAST NIGHT (2014)

And live from our Oscars 2014 party, here are our predictions for the Top Five Awards:
BEST ACTOR: Matthew McConaughey for DALLAS BUYER'S CLUB
BEST ACTRESS: Cate Blanchett for BLUE JASMINE
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Jared Leto for DALLAS BUYER'S CLUB
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Lupita Nyong'o for 12 YEARS A SLAVE
BEST PICTURE: Either 12 YEARS A SLAVE or GRAVITY. The award should go to 12 YEARS A SLAVE, but GRAVITY may win it because it was a flashy hit. Oh, well...
Ciao, folks.... have a wonderful, wonderful March!
