Cinema Cindy Reviews: The 2014 OscarsFirst off, I must say that the one category I felt the most passion about this year was Best Original Screenplay and I am ecstatic the Academy felt as I did, that “Her” was worthy of that award.
This fine screenplay won for subtly exploring human intimacy, how we fall in love, whether artificial intelligence could ever be a substitute for another human being, and showing a lonely soul learning to open his heart. In that way it reminded me of “Lars and the Real Girl.” The screenplay was masterful. congratulations Read More

Review by KELLY DOLEJSI
Need a pick-me-up? Then don’t watch “Ace in the Hole” (1951, unrated). But if you can take it, this black-and-white classic tells a great story while it teaches one of those grim life lessons.
Journalist Chuck Tatum (Kirk Douglas) is on the outs. He used to rake in the bucks, but hard times and personal proclivities have him stuck in small-time Albuquerque, working for an editor who wants him to, of all things, tell the truth.
This goes against his every fiber. But he toes the line until, on his way to cover a snake hunt, he happens Read More

Romance novels get a bum rap. It is argued that the plot lines are silly and always involve an innocent, beautiful girl and a handsome, tortured man. These books, with red and pink-colored covers and titles in swirly fonts, always seem to be tucked in back corners of bookstores or libraries. It seems appropriate, because this genre of fiction is more guilty pleasure than literature.
The thing is no one seems to care. It has been noted that romance novel sales have shot up in recent years. Maybe that is because writers are spicing Read More
