I saw “Godzilla” yesterday, a film I’d been looking forward to since last summer. Sadly to say, I was grossly disappointed. Here is a bullet pointed list explaining why: There wasn’t nearly enough Bryan Cranston. For a film that wanted to have monologues and focus on character, they didn’t utilize the best actor asset they […]
While I have not read the books, I was all too curious to see the latest in teen film phenomena (presumably), “Divergent.” In addition to it taking place and being filmed in my awesome city of Chicago, was based on the novel by Veronica Roth, who wrote the first one as her thesis for a […]
Today’s Fangirl moment is brought to you by Karen:Last night at the LOST panel at Paleyfest, I finally fulfilled my ten year quest to meet, talk to and get an autograph from Josh Holloway. Needless to say, I am more than thrilled. As expected, he was a real Southern gentleman. He was only going to […]

For the last several weeks, the trailers for “American Hustle” have left me ambivalent about seeing it in theatres. The other night, I saw a Richard Roeper review, in which he raved about how awesome it was, and that the DeNiro cameo was possibly some of the best ten minutes of his acting career. After […]
“The Wolf of Wall Street” brought back a boatload of nostalgia. I love Scorsese, and I love DiCaprio, so I was 99% sure I was going to love their latest project. After viewing it, I can tell you that was a complete understatement. “Goodfellas” is not only my favorite Scorsese film, but my favorite film, […]
The writers and producers of “Fast & Furious 7” are working frantically (I assume) in tweaking the script to accommodate the tremendous loss they’ve been dealt, while honoring both the character of Brian and Paul Walker’s final appearance in the franchise. Being a writer, I couldn’t help but ponder the course of action they’d take. […]
