Diary of a Fangirl: River’s Edge

Damn, this film was all kinds of messed up. “River’s Edge” is a film about a high school student by the name of John, who strangles his girlfriend Jamie todeath.  He disrobes her, (and maybe even more than that), and then proceeds to show off her lifeless body down by the river to his friends–maybe […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Jennifer Hudson, the Great and Powerful

Jennifer Hudson is truly a national treasure.  Her voice is brilliant, invoking visceral reactions to those who hear her voice.  She is an Oscar winner and an esteemed performer, beautiful, and being invited anywhere and everywhere to sing. And yet, she doesn’t have a hit song.  What gives? Whoever her producers and writers are…I think she […]

Diary of a Fangirl: The Next Bond. James Bond.

So, there’s going to be this 50 Years of Bond thing going on The Oscars tomorrow, and there has been talk about who would make a great next Bond once Daniel Craig steps down.  Well, I have some ideas…. Idris Elba Idris…what can I say about Idris?  He’s gorgeous; he’s suave.  Idris has that walk. […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Cult

So, they’re finally starting to show commercials for this on the CW. I actually saw the pilot episode at SDCC 2012, and made an extra effort to do so due to the fact that one of the writer’s is a former teacher of mine. I have to honestly say that I was not disappointed. “Cult” […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Beautiful Creatures

“What can the audience expect to see?  A great film; a great story.” Jeremy Irons, you tell no lies. Tonight I saw “Beautiful Creatures.”  It was… Well, it was shockingly good.  I had no desire to see that film, but the song “Seven Devils” in the previews conned me into it.  But it was really […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Meeting Tom Hiddleston

Today’s guest post is from Tiffany, who has a YouTube video of her encounter here. Meeting Tom was really great.  As you can probably tell from the video, he is super sweet and patient [as were his fans].  We all agreed beforehand that we’d be polite and try not to crowd him.  I wish I […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Warm Bodies

I honestly was not expecting to like this movie.  I thought the concept seemed lame, given the trailers, and that Hollywood was doing this necrophilia push.  But… I liked it.  I liked it a lot. It’s a new take on a popular genre, while putting a spin on Romeo and Juliet, the technicalities of vampirism, […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Do No Harm

I watched the premier of this last week.  I have to say–the trailers didn’t grab me, but I decided to give it a shot, given that so many of my new shows got canceled (RIP 666 Park Avenue, Last Resort, and  30 Rock).   The first third didn’t capture my interest, but as the show trailed […]
