The Press Release:
Leading the pack of cinematic mongrels with 8 nominations for the 43rd Annual Razzie® Awards is Blonde, which movie-goers liked even less than critics did. Called a “biopic that’s not a biopic,” by its makers, it “explores” the exploitation of Marilyn Monroe…by continuing to exploit her posthumously. In addition to Worst Picture, it’s up for Worst Screenplay and Worst Director, both by Andrew Dominik, whose work here says more about him than it does about his subject. Copping 7 dings is Good Mourning, a laugh-free stoner comedy achieving the rare feat of scoring a perfect ZERO on Rotten Tomatoes. The year’s most ridiculed movie, Morbius (with Worst Actor nominee Jared Leto in the title role) collected five nods. Disney’s wholly unnecessary (and oddly creepy) live action/CGI remake of Pinocchio pulled our voters’ strings to make it into six categories. Taking the pole position for Worst Supporting Actor is 2022’s most widely derided performance, Tom Hanks’ latex-laden, ludicrously accented portrayal of Col. Tom Parker in the otherwise critically acclaimed Elvis. A complete list of nominees is included below. The Official 43rd Razzie Nominations Video can be watched on the RazzieChannel.
The 43rd Razzie “Winners” will be unveiled on “Oscar Eve” – Saturday, March 11th.

There’s been a common theme with some of the television shows of late and that’s been a continuation of the series idea many years later. We saw this with “Full House”, “Roseanne” before it became “The Connors” and its been reported that a continuation of the classic “Frasier” is coming down the pike in the near future. One series I never expected to see doing this was “Night Court” which was a true favorite of mine when it aired in the eighties but here we are with the first Official Trailer for the NBC series “Night Court”.
The Premise: Follows judge Abby Stone, as she presides over the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court and tries to bring order to its crew.

With so many movies getting prequels these days I guess I should not be surprised about the upcoming series on the Parmount+ streaming service that brings us way back in time to the “Rise Of The Pink Ladies” from the hit musical, and film “Grease”. The first Official Teaser Trailer is embedded below along with the premise and casting.
The Premise: The series takes place in 1954, four years before the events of Grease, and follows four fed-up and misfit students who band together to bring out the moral panic that will change Rydell High forever and become the founding mothers of the first female high school clique, known as the “Pink Ladies”.
