Rise of the Intelligent Movies

December 5, 2012

Okay, it's been a few months since I last stopped by here to write. Anybody who follows me even a little bit knows that this is standard procedure. It's not that I haven't seen more movies worth writing about--far from it. Life just seems to have its own way of taking over your time. Kids go back to school, work picks up, I do stupid things like start writing a novel (well, okay, more like a novella, but whatever), and on and on. This morning during my usual social media rounds I read two … [Read more...] about Rise of the Intelligent Movies

Hugo: Truly A Love Letter to Cinema

July 8, 2012

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 enough that I wanted to share it with you. If you haven't yet taken the time to see this movie, please do yourself a favor and see it. … [Read more...] about Hugo: Truly A Love Letter to Cinema

Men In Black III

June 1, 2012

I figured since I had mentioned in my previous post that I was heading out to see Men In Black III soon, I might as well indulge you all with a quick follow-up. As was the case with most of my friends, I had no recollection of seeing Men In Black II. It took reading a plot synopsis online to jog my memory enough to recall that since I knew what happened during that movie, I obviously DID see it. Sadly, that's all I remember about it. Therefore, I went into MIB III with the expectation that … [Read more...] about Men In Black III

Memorial Day Weekend Almost-Double-Feature: Avenging Dark Shadows

May 29, 2012

This weekend I had the rare treat of heading to the theaters not once, but twice: first was a date night to see The Avengers, then a small group outing to see Dark Shadows a couple of days later. Not quite a true double-feature, but for the purposes of semi-brevity here on the blog, the term will have to do. I got settled in at The Avengers ready for your typical summer-blockbuster-action-adventure-popcorn-flick. I really wasn't expecting a lot of depth of character or even a terribly … [Read more...] about Memorial Day Weekend Almost-Double-Feature: Avenging Dark Shadows

Film Annex: Mark Ruffalo Weighs In On What Makes A Family

May 9, 2012

Earlier today I was reading about North Carolina, the latest state to vote on a constitutional amendment concerning the definition of marriage. Some people regard the issue of marriage equality as a complex one, while others see it in a more simplistic way. And neither approach guarantees a positive response. These are the thoughts that were going through my mind today during my visit to Film Annex, so I thought I'd look at some films about marriage. Instead, I found this interview with Manny … [Read more...] about Film Annex: Mark Ruffalo Weighs In On What Makes A Family

A Pre-review of The Raven

April 29, 2012

I'm anxious to see John Cusack star as Edgar Allan Poe in The Raven. It opened this weekend, to a slew of absolutely awful reviews. This has not deterred me in the least, but it has made me think a bit more than usual about perception in filmgoing, and about the role and purpose of a film critic. First, in the spirit of full disclosure, I feel I should let you know that I am a huge fan of both Edgar Allan Poe and John Cusack. Poe's stories are very intriguing to me, drawing me in as few authors … [Read more...] about A Pre-review of The Raven
