By Chic DiCiccio If Julia Louis-Dreyfus was not involved in “Downhill,” it would be an absolutely dreadful movie. Her timing, biting wit and charm are this movie’s saving grace, even when writers/directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash send her into a women’s bathroom stall to, ahem, “relieve” herself. It’s a moment of slapstick, physical comedy […]

By Chic DiCiccio If anyone told you back in October that “Joker” would end up with the most nominations at the 2020 Academy Awards, there’s a good chance you’d think that came from a crazy person. Well, 11 nominations and $335 million later, that zany prediction is now a reality. However, there aren’t many people […]

By David Mullen In a difficult-to-describe Super Bowl LIV on Feb. 2 in Miami Gardens, Fla., the Kansas City Chiefs came back from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit with 21 unanswered points for a 31-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Sports scribes in the team’s markets had a challenge to capture the elation and […]
