  • Uplifting while Down Putting: Representation and Racism in the Marvel-verse January 15, 2019
    To uplift a group, does one always have to tear down another? I repeatedly hear that representation matters in regards to Miles Morales–a two-fer representing both the black and Latino community, but “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse” fails Asians just as surely “Black Panther” does. At the Golden Globe Awards this year, on accepting “Best Motion […] […]

  • ‘Tidying Up with Marie Kondo’: Translating Japanese Ideas into California Culture January 15, 2019
    Living by myself, every 4 months I would clean and at the end of the year, hopefully before New Year’s Day, I would complete a deep cleaning. This was partially timed toward the academic year with an expected chaos during dead week and finals and the necessary clean up afterward, but it is also cultural. […]

  • 12 Things You Didn’t See at the Golden Globes January 9, 2019
    Backstage you could hear some boisterous buddies in the ballroom and the TV audience probably could as well, but what you didn’t see or hear were some celebrities putting journalists in their place and some heartfelt explanations, gratefulness that ageism against women is weakening and an f-bomb apology. The F-Bomb Apology When Patricia Arquette (Best […] […]

  • Golden Globes 2019: Decline to Diss January 9, 2019
    For the past several years, I’ve been attending Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globes. It’s one of the few events where questions in Spanish are not translated and there is no attempt to transcribe the Spanish. That should tell you something about the membership. I’ve been to other multi-lingual press conferences that included Japanese and […] […]

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Fashion backstage at the Golden Globes January 9, 2019
    According to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the dress code for the Golden Globes is a strictly black-tie event. That means “men must wear tuxedoes or suits, and women in evening attire.” The women seems to be more than willing to follow that dress code–even if they are unaccustomed to long dresses, but some men […]

  • Alfonso Cuarón at Golden Globes: Not Ripping But Request to Consider Relativity January 9, 2019
    I was getting into my car after riding the bus back from the Beverly Hilton–site of the Golden Globes–to Century City when the Variety Breaking News email popped up and announced that “Alfonso Cuarón Rips Journalist at Golden Globes for ‘Unfair’ Netflix Question.” That’s not what I heard backstage. Of the four questions in English […]

  • Golden Globes 2019: Back to Normality January 9, 2019
    After the Saturday deluge left mudslides in Malibu, Sunday afternoon was blue skies adorned by puffy white clouds in Beverly Hills. The Beverly Hilton was rain ready, but not a drop fell as the stars walked the red carpet for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s 76th Golden Globe Awards ceremony. After the last two years […]

  • OFCA Awards for 2018: Top Award to ‘Roma’ January 2, 2019
      January 2, 2019 — The diverse members of the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS) have spoken, and their votes have allowed the best cinematic effort of 2018 to surface. “It was a tight and tense race for sure, and after tallying the votes we have found the brightest among 2018’s gems,” said Nguyen Le, […]

  • ‘Driving Miss Daisy’: Two Rides to Take ☆☆☆☆ December 29, 2018
    Reading about an attempt to help small Jewish enclaves in the Southern US states (Alabama) survive, reminded me of the play “Driving Miss Daisy.” Often dismissed and referenced in a derogatory fashion, the play became an award-winning movie in 1989 with Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman. Currently, you can watch two versions on Amazon Prime […]

  • ‘Roma’: The Continuing Tragedy of Deserted Women ☆☆☆☆ December 26, 2018
    The opening sequence of “Roma” is so simple, but effective. This is a celebration of black and white photography, of light and movement. We can be mesmerized by a simple rectangle of light and the gentle motion of water, the suggestion of windows and cleansing. Yet what follows is not so simple. The world of […]
