Diary of a Fangirl: 2013 Oscar Nominations

Well, I have to say that this is a disappointment. There were several people who should have been recognized that weren’t: Samuel L. Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio for Best Supporting Actor, and Ben Affleck and Quentin Tarantino for Best Director. But let’s move on. Of the given nominees, here are my predictions for the winners: […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Deception

I’d been looking forward to Deception for quite sometime now.  The promos several weeks back, and after this pilot, the show tentatively has my attention. The show starts out like a Law & Order: SUV ep, with a young woman hurrying to her car because someone is following her, only to look up and see that […]

Diary of a Fangirl: This is the End

So, I saw “Django Unchained” for the third time this evening with the family, and saw the trailer for “This Is The End” for the second time. I really, really cannot wait for this upcoming Rogen/Franco collaboration (and Rogen’s directorial debut), with most of the company in tow. Faces from the Appatow camp who won’t […]

Jackson, Bruce Willis, […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Django Unchained

Quentin Tarantino fanatic that I am, of course I saw this on Christmas Day upon its release. I’ve been hearing the buzz about this film for about a year and a half–read the screenplay and saw Tarantino and most of the cast at this year’s San Diego Comic Con: And finally, the day came today. […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Christmas Films to Watch

So, there are a slew of Christmas films, but I’m going to share with you the best films to watch for the holidays. “Scrooged” is a classic, in my opinion.  A modernized spin on an old classic with Bill Murray.  I seriously doubt the awesomeness of this adaptation can be recreated (properly).  It’s not only […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Movie Previews

So, before I saw “The Hobbit,” there were some interesting trailers… “Oblivion”–end of the world with Tom Cruise.  I feel like I’ve seen this movie, but I totally want to see it again.  What can I say?  Tom Cruise fangirl here. “After Earth” –end of the world, which results in the beginning of the world. […]

Diary of a Fangirl: "Thor" and "My Own Private Idaho"

Okay, most of these will be bullet point random thoughts, and I combined them because they do have something in common…I wasn’t expecting that, of course–just a bit of happenstance. Here goes… *Both films deal with rejection of love.  Mikey searches for his long lost mother, while Loki searches for acknowledgement from his father.  Also […]
