Felt like I was in high school again this past Friday when I went out to see Despicable Me 2 with my boyfriend and his little brother (just to clarify, his “little” brother is a 6’2 sophomore in high school, and yes, we are all nerds). If the one in the middle was a girl…then… Read More Despicable Me 2: Kristen Wiig is Taking Over the World…And That's Okay.
Two posts in two days? I know what you’re thinking… But I’m not gonna. Cuz I ALSO saw ANOTHER movie last week and didn’t have the opportunity to write about it. It was a sneak peak from Philly Film Society so I want to take advantage of the fact that ya’ll probably haven’t seen it.… Read More The Heat: See? Girls Can Be Funny Cops Too!
Haha, okay, cheesy joke, but we were making it throughout the previews and all day today so now it’s become associative. Yes, I saw the latest futuristic dystopian doodad in theaters and here’s what I have to say: hmmm As an avid reader of graphic novels and comics (shut up.) I gotta say I wish… Read More The Purge (Bleeehh)
So since it is night time and I have made the fatal mistake of treating my caffeine-sensitive body to a cappuccino*, I’m going to burn some of this energy off by indulging you all with the fascinating review of my most recent cinematic adventure seeing Oz: The Great and Powerful. Let me preface this review… Read More Oz: The Kind-of-Great and Not-Very Powerful
Got a sneak peak of the latest genre hybrid out there: Warm Bodies. I was actually pretty interested to see how this HorRomCom (horror/romantic comedy, copyright Nick Grajewski) sized up to some of the other ones of its kind. For those of you who haven’t seen the preview, this movie is about a guy named… Read More Warm Bodies: HorRomCom?
So after checking out the Barnes Museum yesterday I had nothing to do all day and a voucher for a free movie in my pocket* so I headed to the Riverview Stadium and say a matinee screening of Silver Linings Playbook. I was actually really excited cuz I’d heard some really good reviews about it. Basically… Read More Silver Linings Playbook: Not all Romances Start Beautifully
Had the fortune to see the latest celebrity biopic, one so named Hitchcock in a (somewhat rare) double feature opportunity. The Philadelphia Film Society was offering a screening of Hitchcock followed by a screening of Psycho, the movie whose making Hitchcock loosely follows. They were like “Hey, ya wanna see this?” and I was like “Psh, yeah.” Heh, this… Read More Hitchcock: The Kinda Sorta Making of Psycho
Well whadya know, a whole new month. I oughta be ashamed of myself. However, I have spent the better part of this month hounding new job opportunities and pulling my hair out and thus am not responsible for the slacking on the blog posts, as it were. Now where was I? Ah, yes. SINISTER. Don’t… Read More Sinister: Bughuul (With Cream Cheese…)
Oh my god. Ok. To preface this movie, let me tell you all a story. Once upon a time, my sister was in 10th grade, having an awesome day, and happened to watch a movie on Lifetime called Babycakes. She enjoyed it and promptly got on with her life. Several years later she happened upon… Read More Babycakes: "I Just Keep Thinking About the Dinosaurs…"
Bill and I hit up the Frank Theater in Rio Grande last Wednesday in pursuit of a certain Pixar movie that just came out last week: Disney and Pixar’s Brave. I know, I’m awful, it took me a while to get around to writing this one because I was running back and forth between Philly… Read More Scots and Gingers and Bears–Oh My!
