Nights in Rodanthe - Read the Book
And that’s not a diss against the film either; just an observation. Surprisingly enough, I enjoyed Nights in Rodanthe, the film based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. But, I enjoyed it primarily because I had read the book and I understood the story, the background of the characters, the plot […]
Will To Power - A Psychological Thriller
A couple of weekends ago, I had the good fortune to attend the world premiere screening of the independent film, Will To Power, a film that was made right here in the Triangle. Directed, written, and starring David Rountree along with Chris Moir and the likes of Kiko Ellsworth, Rosie Garcia, and the incomparable Jerry Mathers, the […]
Thoughts About Lies - Body of Lies That Is
If you’ve been reading this blog, you know I could hardly wait for Body of Lies to debut. I had been anticipating that film since July when the first glimpses of any kind of buzz surrounding it began to take hold of the cyberwaves. I mean, with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, […]
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Are YOU Going to See it?
I have to ask because I’m not entirely sure that I even want to and I’ll tell you why.
I am a child of the 70’s and 80’s. I remember seeing the original Star Wars at the movie theater at the age of 7, believe it or not, and I have been following the entire live-action […]
Batman: The Dark Knight is Just Plain…Dark
And I’m pretty confident that ”dark” is the best way to describe it.
Batman: The Dark Knight brings all other Batman movies to date to a whole new level. I walked away at the end just utterly amazed at the sheer psychological factors that inhabit this film. From the plot points (which you think you’ve figured it all […]
July 4th Weekend Blockbusters?
Two new major films take to the screen this weekend - Hancock starring Will Smith and Kit Kitredge: An American Girl starring an all-star cast of many.
Hancock has an interesting twist to it. It’s a story about a…get this…alcoholic super hero. Is that an oxymoron or what? The thought perplexes me so much that it’s the […]
Indiana Jones Saves the Day…Again!
Without revealing my age, let’s just say that I was so looking forward to this film because of the nostalgic memories it creates. I can remember paying $2.75-$3.25 for each matinee showing of Indy films 1-3. I remember when my friends and I would meet to view the film and then head to the mall […]
Downey, Jr. is Iron Man
Let me start by saying while I had every intention of taking in this flick at some point, when the decision was made nearly two weeks ago to see a movie, this wasn’t my first choice. I was more in the mood for a chick flick but being the good wife that I am, I […]
Cannes and Jolie
The 61st annual Cannes Film Festival is currently underway in the French Riviera. This morning Natalie Morales, Today Show Correspondent, showcased an interview she had with two of the stars of the new Dreamworks animated film, Ku Fu Panda, Jack Black and Angelina Jolie. Jolie admitted during the interview that she is, in fact, expecting twins with […]
Rewind- The Kingdom (2007)
I finally got around to catching a movie last weekend. My husband and I decided to spend some quality time together so we popped some hot buttered popcorn, poured ourselves a beverage or two, and selected The Kingdom on our cable In-Demand channel. We were in the mood for something dramatic, something that would have […]
