Oscars Scuttlebutt Already?
In Hollywood it’s never too early to talk Oscar noms. Heck, since I saw Batman: The Dark Knight this summer, I’ve been predicting Heath Ledger will be up for a posthumous Supporting Actor nomination (if not a win!). Seems everyone’s out there talking Oscar.
On Tuesday of this week, the News and Observer had a lengthy […]
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 […]
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, […]
What’s Out This Weekend?
WHAT’S OUT THIS WEEKEND?
Well, the movie I have been anticipating most is finally released - Body of Lies. The film stars my favorite actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, as well as another gentleman right up there on my radar, Russell Crowe. These guys are always top notch at every role they play, but that’s my […]
Eagle Eye Soars
With several promising movies out this past weekend, my husband and I decided to check out the techno-thriller Eagle Eye. I did something I don’t normally do – I read several reviews before hitting the theater. The critics compared it to the likes of Speed, The Fugitive, and even Minority Report, calling the film this […]
In Wide Release September 25th
Ok, the romantic in me is pretty stoked for the release of Nights in Rodanthe starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane. I read the Nicholas Sparks novel last year so when I heard it was being made into a movie, my juices were already pumped. The screen adaptation of his novel, The Notebook, was one […]
In Wide Release This Weekend
There are four major films in wide release this week - Ghost Town, Igor, Lakeview Terrace, and My Best Friend’s Girl.
Ghost Town stars Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear, and Tea Leoni. It’s the story about a man who dies unexpectedly but is revived after 7 minutes only to realize he now has the power to see […]
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 […]
Body of Lies - Highly Anticipated
Leonardo DiCaprio. Russell Crowe. Ridley Scott. What a combination!
One of the most anticipated movies for the fall season 2008, Body of Lies, is coming soon to a theater near you - October 10th, to be exact. And yes, I know it’s not even August yet but the buzz around the net on all the film […]
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 […]
