2009 Oscar Recap

24Feb09

First and foremost, we would like to thank all of you who supported us on Sunday and followed the live blog. It was a big day for Sexy Gypsy, and it really set the bar high.

2009 Oscar Preview

19Feb09

Best Picture Of the five films in this category, only two really have a shot. Frost/Nixon was a great stage adaptation with amazing performances and, while solid, was ultimately compromised by Ron Howard‘s lack of technical abilities. The Reader was boring, poorly constructed, and probably the most overrated film in the last 20 years. And […]

The 2009 Golden Globes

16Jan09

Here at sexy gypsy, we’ve never really been into the Golden Globes. Call us pretentious, purists, elitists; but there have always only been two categories: The Oscars, and everything else (Golden Globes, MTV awards, Darwin awards, etc.). This year, however, we decided to pay attention. We stand corrected. It is true that the Globes are […]

Vicky Cristina Barcelona: Woody Allen

07Sep08

“Have you seen the new Woody Allen movie?” “We’re actually on our way right now.” “Oh, you’ll love it. Allen’s best in years. You’ll feel like you’re in Barcelona, great film.” The empty pitcher of Sangria in front of this lone barfly told me I shouldn’t get my hopes up, but […]
