Jeremy Irons recently made an Q&A appearance with Jacob Burns Board President Janet Maslin for a screening of the 1982 film, Moonlighting. In scheduling, Irons and Maslin wanted to offer something that people might not have seen before. Conversely, the Academy Award winning actor was only too happy to defer on the obvious choice of Reversal of Fortune. It took only one word to dispel whether he’s spent enough time over the years talking about Clause Von Bulow.

Gladys W. MuturiPublished 2 years ago in GeeksHow Come Stacey Dash and Chrisette Michele keeps getting Cancelled? Not Ye! Hmmmm....
These two black women tried so hard to get their black card back but still keep getting cancelled from the black community unlike Kanye West. Stacey Dash was one of the most beloved actress and model until she became a conservative working for Fox News saying anti-black remarks and calling out then-President Obama. R&B Singer and Songwriter Chrisette Michelle made songs like "Be Ok" feat will.i.am, which earned her a Grammy and "Aston Martin Music" featuring Rick Ross and Drake which would become the most popular song on Tiktok until she sang at Trump's inauguration defending her choice causing her music to be cut from radio air ways. These two women were blacklisted after they disappointed the black community until they tried to gain the black status but it was too late. Dash started acting at age 14 when she starred in her first acting gig The Cosby Show and 1988 series TV 101 until it was cancelled after 13 episodes. She would star in films like Moving, Mo'Money, and Renaissance Man. Dash received her big break with the 1995 teen comedy film Clueless. Dash played Cher's high school best friend Dionne Davenport.

Louise Blake-Michael (Risen Phoenix)Published 2 years ago in GeeksFilm review: At Eternity’s Gate
There may never have been a painter as sure of his artistic vision, yet as emotionally needy, psychologically troubled and socially isolated as Vincent van Gogh. Willem Dafoe’s magnificent performance captures every bit of the artist’s complexity in Julian Schnabel’s At Eternity’s Gate. With stunning visuals and a judicious balance of poetry and drama, Schnabel draws us into both Van Gogh’s genius and his tortured life.
Sue TorresPublished 2 years ago in GeeksWhite Noise is 'thrillingly original'
t seems like no time at all since Adam Driver was playing the embodiment of cocky youth in Noah Baumbach's While We're Young (2014). But one of the great things about Baumbach's films is that as he gets older, his angst-ridden characters get older, too: with each new project he shines a light on the worries of another age bracket. In his brutal 2019 divorce drama, Marriage Story, Driver played a director who wasn't a hip young flavour-of-the-month any more. And now, in Baumbach's latest brilliant comedy, which opened the Venice Film Festival, Driver is middle-age incarnate: a university professor with thinning hair, a thickening waistband, and a looming awareness that he might be closer to death than birth. The role suits him so beautifully that awards nominations should be heading his way.
Sue TorresPublished 2 years ago in GeeksFilm review: Mary Poppins Returns
How do you make a sequel to one of the most beloved live-action children’s films ever? For several decades, the answer was: you don’t. Mary Poppins was released in 1964, but even though the source novel’s author PL Travers wrote seven further books about the Banks family’s magical nanny, no one attempted to follow a film that was, to use Mary’s own phrase, practically perfect in every way.

Lara, the 15-year-old heroine of Girl, has just enrolled in a prestigious ballet school, an environment where everything that’s challenging about being a teenager becomes 10 times more difficult: the awareness that your body is developing in ways you might not like; the sense that there is an in-crowd that you can’t quite penetrate; the fear that you aren’t good enough, however hard you try; the irritation with well-meaning family members who don’t understand you. What magnifies these insecurities further is that Lara is a transitioning transgender girl, counting the days until she can have gender reassignment surgery, so she is even more self-conscious about her physique than her classmates are.
