WOMEN TALKING lets its characters speak for themselves

Cinematic fiends! Here is a list of nine (I do not like even numbers) films that your favorite old sport uncovered this year.
SHE SAID reiterates how terribly evil human beings can be
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief and Old Sport
I do not want to weigh heavily on the production or style itself, given the necessity for stories such as this to be told.
Guillermo del Toro's PINOCCHIO is made with intricacy and care
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief and Old Sport
Did we need another Pinocchio? Simple answer: No. However, I would like to point out this is not just any Pinocchio film, this is instead a creation from the mind of Guillermo del Toro.
I Bid You Welcome to 24 Hours in My Cinematic Crypt
by Batzina Belfry (aka Rosalie Kicks, Old Sport)
I bid you welcome creepies, ghoulies, goblins and spookies to The Cinematic Crypt for a twenty-four hour watch-a-long.
PLEASE BABY PLEASE is visually engaging and thought provoking
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief and Old Sport
When thinking in particular about American culture, it is quite fascinating how organs, specifically our sexual parts, predetermine one’s fate and even equate to a particular shade of color (ie pink for girls, blue for boys). It truly is ridiculous and downright perplexing to me how we have ended up there.
SEE HOW THEY RUN is an absolute delight.
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief and Old Sport
Every so often a flick comes along that makes me wonder how the filmmaker slipped it by the Hollywood moguls. Was it a work of hypnosis? Maybe a possession of sorts?
GIRL PICTURE is a film I wish I'd had as a teenager
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief & Old Sport
I truly believe that I would have loved this film as a teenager, especially due to the topics that it broaches.
EMILY THE CRIMINAL does a really wonderful job of showing Aubrey Plaza's range
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief and Old Sport
Emily The Criminal exposes the society in which we all currently live; a place that does not offer forgiveness or rehabilitation.
MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS is a feel good throwback
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief & Old Sport
With the beautiful production design and costumes this film is reminiscent of a picture straight out of the golden age of Tinseltown
WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING is an enjoyable enough escape in a serene nature setting
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief & Old Sport
If you’re looking to get away from things and shut your mind off for a while this film is not the worst way to spend your time.
SUMMER OF STARS #18: Katharine Hepburn
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief and Old Sport
Kate is great.
THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER sees Taika lose himself in Marvel's madness
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief & Old Sport
Thor: Love and Thunder is trying hard to do a lot of things but in the end gets lost in itself.
SUMMER OF STARS #25: Buster Keaton
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief and Old Sport
Buster is considered today to be one the of most prolific actor/directors that ever graced the silver screen.
Peter Strickland's FLUX GOURMET serves up an unsettling audio/visual buffet
by Rosalie Kicks, Editor in Chief and Old Sport
Much like anchovies or blue cheese Strickland’s films appeal to a particular type of palette.
