Wreck-It Ralph: A Sweet Treat Rather Than An Animated Wreck

By

Dinosaur. Treasure Planet. Brother Bear. Home On The Range. Mostly forgettable films from the House of Mouse. I’m a huge Disney fan (not to mention a parent of three), and I didn’t even bother watching that last one. So when Wreck-It Ralph came to theaters last fall–right after Brave, if I recall–I didn’t even bother to […]

The Cinematic Wonder that is Les Misérables

By

My first big-screen film viewing for 2013 was Tom Hooper’s film adaptation of Les Misérables. No, I did not go see this on Christmas Day, much to the chagrin of my husband.

Rise of the Intelligent Movies

Hugo: Truly A Love Letter to Cinema

By

There’s nobody who embodies the magic of movies better than Georges Méliès. I just got around to watching HUGO, and I’m so very glad I did. Looking for some visual inspiration (it’s perfect for steampunk fans like me, after all!), I stumbled onto this post from the B+ Movie Blog. The pictures alone are beautiful […]
