Maybe you can’t judge a book by its cover but you can usually do a pretty good job judging a movie by its trailer. When Magic Mike‘s trailer hit the blogosphere, most people I knew and I started rejoicing at the dishy dudes gratuitously pulling off their shirts. Mike, our protagonist (Channing Tatum who… can [...]

Yesterday, I took myself to go see Snow White and the Huntsman. It was a really gorgeous movie, with some moments that I’m sure were emotional and deep, and a nice pair of attractive sidekicks for Kristen Stewart’s eponymous protagonist, some lovely landscape helicopter shots, and the really shocking plot twist of not having a [...]

From the perspective of someone who hasn’t read a single book in the series or had any prior knowledge before walking into the theater… This is a damn good film. It’s got star quality for a variety of reasons, the first one being a disgustingly enormous budget. It doesn’t take a film critic to realize [...]

I spent my Saturday night at Regal Fenway watching Chronicle, the new film about the teenagers who discover that they can then move things with their minds. Or another way to summarize Chronicle is to say it is the MOST TOTALLY AWESOME MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!! Think about how cool it would be if you could move [...]

On Thursday, I went to the screening of Miss Representation (the trailer can be viewed here). It was a good film, made me feel proud to be a woman, and gave me the same kind of fuzzy feelings I had when I walked out of seeing An Incovenient Truth – the world is pretty screwed [...]

As promised during winter exam week, here are some quality films available on Netflix that I’ve enjoyed so far. Trailers are provided when possible. 1.Let the Right One In, Directed by Tomas Alfredson Based off a Swedish novel of the same name, by John Ajvide Lindqvist, the movie follows the life of a boy Oskar [...]

I don’t know if maybe I just watch too many movies or TV shows but it seems that I’m always watching something. My takeaway from a pretty decent sociology lecture was that I should watch The Insider (a movie, incidentally, which I highly recommend and think everyone should watch right now, two big thumbs up [...]

So this new movie with Daniel Radcliffe, Woman in Black… Is already getting terrible reviews. Two of my friends have seen it who are terrified of horror movies… And they laughed through the entire thing! What is going on with horror film directors now?? This is getting ridiculous. First they pull out crap like the [...]

I saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo the other day, which is based off the book by the same name. The entire trilogy by Steig Larsson is supposed to be good, but I haven’t read a single one of his books. I was mad at myself for that because I yell at people who [...]

Until recently, I assumed that the “craft services” people on a film set were responsible for things like costumes, set decoration (“set-deck”), and props – you know, like “arts and crafts.” I’m glad that this bit of misinformation was corrected before I ever talked about it on set, because I would have looked very silly.
