A Seattle moviegoing lifestyle magazine
Starting today, tickets and passes are now available to the public for the 50th Seattle International Film Festival. While we’re digging through the schedule and plotting our own agendas, we thought we’d start by each highlighting a film (or two) from the program that we’re most excited to see or recommend.
It’s that time again. We all picked our favorites at the end of the year; the guilds have spoken; critics groups have doled out their laurels; and now, three months into 2024 it’s time for the Academy to put a bow on the movies of 2023 with the Oscars. In advance of Sunday’s telecast airing on ABC at 4 pm (PDT) – an hour earlier than usual and on the first day of Daylight Saving Time no less – we gathered round the old roundtable to make our predictions on how the awards will (and should) go when all’s said and done.
Given the monumental event in summer blockbuster history, Chris and Josh collected ourselves and convened a quick roundtable to chat about our experiences with Christopher Nolan’s atomic age biopic and Greta Gerwig’s big budget fantasia about the original American Icon.
We’re just past the halfway point of 2023; so to commemorate the occasion a few of you friendly neighborhood SunBreakers took stock of the films we’ve seen so far.

Everyone else is doing it, everywhere, seemingly all at once: guessing which film’s will take home trophies this weekend at the 95th …
Damien Chazelle’s latest movie is a staggeringly ambitious, multi-tiered melodrama that follows several disparate characters amidst Hollywood’s transition from silent movies to talkies. Very much interwoven with this huge technological shift is the extended high that was the late 1920s, followed by the Wall Street Crash that ushered in The Great Depression. Lest we make this sound too highbrow, it is a film that includes car chases, explosive elephant excrement, orgies, projectile vomit, freak shows, bloody injuries, and mountains upon mountains of hard drugs. And don’t forget the snake fight.
