February movies!

I don’t like Daniel Radcliffe (he’s just so pasty – he’s a pasty tool – and I don’t mean pale when I say pasty [that would be like the milk calling the snow white], I mean that he always looks … Continue reading

January movies!

It’s intense and difficult to watch at times, but it’s still very good! But, yeah, difficult to watch.

And all was right with the world…

I finally saw The Muppets on Friday – and it was everything I could have hoped for. Fun songs, great musical numbers, awareness that they’re in a movie, tons of celebrity cameos (including on particularly awesome one during a song), … Continue reading

November movies!

I’ll be the first one to agree that The Muppet Movie should be included in this post, but my down-in-the-dumps Thanksgiving extended to getting around to seeing this even though I’ve been looking forward to it since the very first … Continue reading

October movies!

Oddly enough, I do like a good political thriller. I do, less oddly enough, reeeeeallly like George Clooney. I don’t like Ryan Gosling. I did like The Ides of March. It walks the line of falling into cliche and bad … Continue reading

Who knew you’d need tissues at a movie that’s basically about Rock ‘em, Sock ‘em Robots?!

Awesome movie, but first? We have to talk about War Horse. If you’ve somehow managed to make it this far without seeing the trailer for it, here it is. MOM, DO NOT WATCH IT. This movie is not for you … Continue reading

Oh! Jerry Orbach’s eyes!

If you read Rachel’s post on her blog about last night’s slumber party, you’ll notice she said we used Dirty Dancing as a drinking game! We picked and chose rules from here and ended up with: Take one drink when: … Continue reading

August movies!

Actually quite good! Even though I still maintain the title could do with at least one less of the. Someone needs to change the Academy’s rules so that Andy Serkis can finally get the Oscar he deserved for LOTR.

July movies!

A good, solid addition to the many recent superhero movies – and best of all, we finally, finally got the teaser trailer for The Avengers! It’s about time!

June movies!

Jillian and I did our very best to avoid the third Transformers movie, but in the end, we decided it would be more fun if we met up in Indianapolis, saw the movie, and then spent the rest of the … Continue reading

A lovely, lovely movie that will make you want to go to Paris–in the 1920s or so. C’est parfait!

Out of order, but it’s worth it!

Uh, you need to see this movie. Like now. Actually more like yesterday. I’m a fan of most comic book movies anyway, but the X-Men movies are among my favorites. And this is hands down my favorite of the X-Men … Continue reading

Dammit, Janet!

Er, dammit, Suzanne Collins (but that doesn’t have the same ring to it)… Now I have to read Battle Royale.

And a bit of a change of pace!

Holy cats, it was hilarious. Kristen Wiig is funny, Melissa McCarthy steals the show, and I honestly haven’t laughed this hard at a movie in a loooooong time. See it now! Summer blockbuster tally = 1-1-0

Viewer, I married him.

There are so many adaptations of Jane Eyre that I don’t really know what to say about this one. Everyone does a good job – Mia’s Jane is sufficiently clever and downtrodden and self-righteous; Michael’s Mr. Rochester is sufficiently tormented … Continue reading
