The Artist

January 25, 2012

A silent movie in 2011?  Who’d have thunk?  Not me that’s for sure, but I am certainly glad that someone did. A silent film star faces the reality that “talkies” are coming but can’t bring himself to lower to that level.  Amazing acting, although kinda cheesy in this day and age because of the “overacting’ [...]

Prom

April 30, 2011

Do you remember your High School Prom?  Honestly I don’t remember much of it.  Obviously I didn’t go to school in a Disney film heh. I didn’t really want to see this movie, I have never seen any of the Disney High School Musical films and I am quite proud of that.  But I owed [...]

Get Him to the Greek

June 4, 2010

I have been seeing previews for this for quite some time.  I had no desire to see it.  I enjoy Judd Apatow movies and I really like Jonah Hill but the fact that Russell Brand was in it was enough to turn me away completely.  I don’t think I have ever seen him in anything, [...]

Date Night

April 18, 2010

Wow!  I am glad I wrote the pay per post before I saw the movie.  Even more so, I’m glad they already approved it for payment. This movie is a big disappointment.  Yes, Steve Carrell and Tina Fey are funny together but just like in Bounty Hunter if you have seen the trailer you have [...]

Late Oscar Thoughts

March 7, 2010

Image by grebo guru via Flickr I know, I am late.  The Red Carpet has begun and I am typing furiously.  Most of these thoughts were jotted down yesterday on my iPod while enjoying 4 of the Best Picture Nominees at the AMC Theater Best Picture Showcase.  Having 10 films nominated has made it more [...]

This is a guest review by Brett aka Amtrekker.  Brett spent all of last year travelling around the US.  I offered him a night on our couch while in the LA area, but he must have got a better offer.  I asked him to do this review when I saw his Facebook status with his [...]

November 24, 2009

I was asked to host a preview party for this adorable new Christmas cartoon.  I jumped at the chance if for no other reason than to get Erika and Jackson to come up a day early to Detroit, lol. I put out the invites on Facebook but we had some last minute cancellations.  The movie [...]

Where the Wild Things Are

October 19, 2009

Once again a guest review from my oldest niece Stephanie. Like most book to movie transitions, do not read the book first, or you will sorely be disappointed. I walked in expecting it be like the cartoon which was made from the book. I walked out wishing it was the cartoon made from the book. [...]

The September Issue

October 7, 2009

This is a guest review by my BGBF Derrick.  He is a fabulous photographer and teacher and although he has a blog, he uh ahem, NEVER updates it. Anna Wintour could out stare a statue, she’s that fierce. The September Issue is a new documentary about Vogue magazine editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour and the movers and [...]
