Alright, first things first. When I saw young Abe in this film, I couldn’t help but think… Liam Neeson? The actor, Benjamin Walker, actually played a young Neeson, or rather a young Kinsey in “Kinsey.” Haven’t seen that film, but I assume it was without the nose prosthetic he wore in “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.” […]
Spoilers, but not really. Yesterday, I saw “The Amazing Spider-man” with my siblings, and I have to say it was very well done. The execution and the story itself was much tighter than the Tobey Maguire version (and also, Andrew Garfield is a lot nicer to look at). The villain was more human (er, so […]
A friend of mine said, “Only in film can Kristen Stewart be more fair than Charlize Theron.” I’m inclined to agree. Initially, on my Sunday spree of seeing films, I was supposed to see “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” but the times got all screwed up, and ended up seeing this instead. I had wanted to […]
I saw this movie back when it came out, but I kinda want to see it again. Preferably in IMAX (screw you, 3D). It’s true–I’d prefer Edward Norton to Mark Ruffalo, I didn’t get why a dude with bow and arrows or a chick with a gun would matter, I’ve never see “Thor,” and I […]
So Sunday, I went to see two films at two different theatres on two opposite sides of town (long story). Now initially, I had no intention of seeing “Ted.” I love Seth McFarlane–seen him on Real Time a few times, but I can’t stand that damn Family Guy. But the more trailers I saw, the more […]
While it’s true that I was able to go to an early premier of “Magic Mike” in Chicago (and honestly, I may go see it again…I wish it were in IMAX), last Sunday night (June 24th), a good friend of mine, Perdell, who’s doing it big out in L.A., was able to go to the […]
Oh, the First Lady… There are many reasons why I love her–she’s intelligent, beautiful, and epitomizes grace and class–things that cannot be bought or augmented. OMG, I’d LOVE to play her in a movie… I also love her for totally superficial reasons–those arms! The fact that she’s five eleven like me, or how we graduated […]
In 2008, I was living in L.A. for a Columbia writing program at CBS studios. One of our outings entailed going to the Writer’s Guild of America to hear some speakers, and in the elevator, who did I run into of all people? Amber! She ran into the elevator with me and a few friends, […]
