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 […]
Late tonight, I went and saw “The Hobbit.” I have to be honest and say I wasn’t wetting my panties to see it. In fact, until it was mentioned to me, I totally forgot it was even coming out this weekend. The Ring series came out when I was in high school, and I rented […]
Spielberg’s “Lincoln” was a most excellent film. I’m not sure what it was that I was expecting going into it, but it was a pleasant surprise. The movie mostly focuses on the time in which President Lincoln had to deal with the war, and also his determination in the ratification of the thirteenth amendment. Daniel […]
I’m trying to organize my thoughts on this, but I think I liked this film (a startling first when I think about the four that preceded it). This was mainly due to Jacob. I just watched the whole “saga” in the last week or so, and I feel drawn to Jacob’s story, not Bella’s. His […]
So, I watched “Twilight” for the first time Friday night. I didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would, but I still didn’t enjoy it. I watched it critically, and I [think] I deciphered what makes it so popular, and what makes it so bothersome. Let’s start with the bothersome. I dig vampires […]
This weekend I got to see “Skyfall.” I grew up watching Bond. James Bond. As a girl with my mom, who watched it when she was a kid. This franchise has been ongoing for the last fifty years, and that is tremendous. I will admit that, like many people, I have my “favorite” Bonds, and […]
Note: Apologies for the delay on posts. I had a birthday, followed by a vicious flu bug, and haven’t written anything in awhile. So, for my birthday, I went to see “Cloud Atlas.” Due to circumstances out of my control, I ended up missing the first…fifteen minutes or so, and another ten shortly after that. […]
Yesterday, I had the chance to see “Argo.” Starring Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman and Alan Arkin, this film is a definite must see (and see again!). I think this film will not only get Ben Affleck an Oscar nomination, but also, a win for best director. The editing, the acting, the directing–everything was […]
