By: Derrick Fournier Let me preface this by acknowledging I’m not American, though I have lived or worked in the USA for ten years. I’m also not a person of color. As a white person, I recognize that I will never be able to understand the intense pain and hardships brought forth by racism to […]Read Post ›
So the Globes are done, and the Oscar nominations (ie the season’s second biggest film awards) have been announced. Here is the movie list that matters most- 2019’s Best Picture Nominees as selected by our voting block of one. Important preview to note: I haven’t seen every movie that came out in 2019. Out of […]Read Post ›
Time after time. If I could turn back time. I wish I had more time. I can’t wait for the time to pass. I’m counting down until I can graduate, until I can retire, until the weekend. I need more time. How much longer? You’re late. You’re early. I can’t wait for this year to […]Read Post ›
Every September when the world renowned TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) takes over the film headlines, the lesser known (yet possibly more influential?) PIFF (Philadelphia Film Festival) sneaks into town. Beginning the year I moved to Philly, feeling the void of not attending TIFF, 2019 marks our fourth festival (PIFFour if you will). For one […]Read Post ›
Guest Blogger and Green Card Holder D. Fournier is back for a special blog post that aims to (simply) explain the complicated cluttered experience of a Canadian legally obtaining a green card. A box of wine and an American flag is encouraged for this reading. It’s hard to believe that three and a half years have passed […]Read Post ›
2019 is a bit of a milestone year for my relationship. January marked 10 years of when I met Derrick, and in October we are celebrating five years of marriage. To mark this milestone, Derrick gifted us with a surprise trip. And by surprise, I mean I knew what days to book off, and that […]Read Post ›
2018’s movie award season finally comes to a close. With the Razzies awarded a few nights back, there is only one more award to announce: We’re not talking about tonight’s Oscars, but Mike’s Best Picture of 2018! This year, I am basing my nominations on the 89 of the top 100 grossing films that I saw. […]Read Post ›
On my last blog post themed around identity, I received this comment from someone named Robert: What a pathetic piece of drivel from a clearly lost, challenged snowflake with little or nothing to do in, or say about life. Even the basics seem out of reach. Some mental health problems are exhibited in this writing […]Read Post ›
Let’s go back to three months ago, about the last time I wrote a blog post. It was a dark and stormy afternoon. One of those scary sort of storms right out of a movie that seemingly comes out of nowhere. Derrick and I were out exploring the Philadelphia Zoo (America’s first zoo, and also […]Read Post ›
It’s hard to believe that it’s already this time of year again. No, not the end of summer, or back to school. It’s the week when I try to see as many movies as possible within a short tight week. And no, I’m not talking about the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s PIFF! The Philadelphia International […]Read Post ›
