Notes on a Scandal

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Notes on a Scandal is a dark and twisted story of infatuation and betrayal that delivers great acting performances. Both Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett are worthy of their Oscar nominations while Bill Nighy is very adept in his turn as the unwitting husband. Also, Richard Eyre directs the movie very well, and […]

This Film Is Not Yet Rated

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

I was sent an email regarding a movie entitled “This Film Is Not Yet Rated”. “This Film Is Not Yet Rated” takes an uncensored look at censorship within movies and how a particular movie receives it’s rating. Not only does the film go in depth on how a movie receives it’s rating, but […]

Letters from Iwo Jima

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Letters from Iwo Jima was a great movie. Definitely one of the best movies of the year, but you can’t help leaving the theatre in an incredibly somber mood. Clint Eastwood approaches this film with an objective, war is war and the effects of it are the same on both sides. […]

Oscar Nominations

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Oscar nominations were just released, and there weren’t many surprises in the bunch. I was happy to see that a few of the movies I really liked got nominated for some stuff (Letters From Iwo Jima, Flags of Our Fathers, Little Miss Sunshine, The Prestige, Pan’s Labyrinth). Its a little sad that The Prestige and […]

Top 10 of 2006

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Here are my favorite 10 movies of last year. This doesn’t necessarily have them in order of what I think is a better film, just what I enjoyed more.
10. Superman Returns
I think this is on here just because I’m generally a sucker for super hero movies and especially Superman Movies. Overall […]

Sunshine Trailers

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

I just wanted to let everyone who reads this blog know that Sunshine is going to be the best movie of 2007. Here are the trailers to prove it, that is, if Danny Boyle directing isn’t enough to seal the deal. I can’t wait for Spider-man 3, but this movie is going to […]

Pan’s Labyrinth

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Pan’s Labyrinth is a great, modern fairy tale that weaves classic styles with modern sensibilities. It manages to create a story that shows real life horrors alongside imaginative, mythical horrors. One of the best scenes in the movie is when Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) must break into the lair of a hideous creature […]

Children Of Men

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

Add Children of Men to the growing list of movies that I didn’t seem to like quite as much as everyone else. I don’t know why this trend is happening, whether its because I am getting tougher on movies, or other people’s tastes are just getting watered down by the quality that has […]

Sorry, no movies involved

Friday, January 12th, 2007

I haven’t seen a movie in a long, long time (Blood Diamond in the middle of December. It was ok, not great, not terrible), but I would like to write something nonetheless. So, I am going to write about a couple things from the movies’ smaller friend, the television.
The Season 2 […]
