No matter where in the world the mansion is, we need to hear the sound of a peacock. A bird call that means "THEY'RE! RICH!"

OK I’ll try again to watch all of Anora. Maybe it was my mood that day but I failed to bask in its warmhearted yet gritty romantic glow.

I wish the Oscars were more like the Grammys: 10 to 12 hours long, 94 awards, an accusation of pedophilia here or there, best actress determined via armrest consoles after a series of fistfights.

William Tell - Movie Reviews Rotten Tomatoes, home of the Tomatometer, is the most trusted measurement of quality for Movies & TV. The definitive site for Reviews, Trailers, Showtimes, and Tickets

Movie recommendation - "William Tell" - rousing, old school adventure starring Claes Bang as the Swiss folk hero. It's a fun, like a classic where the credits unroll in scroll font & every version Robin Hood now playing on HBO/Max. #filmskyπŸ“½οΈ
