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 [...]

Capitalism: A Love Story

October 6, 2009

I am not a Michael Moore fan.  I am not a fan of extremism in any way shape or form.  I consider Michael Moore to be extreme. I did not however find this film to be extreme, I found it to be sad. I can not remember (I saw the movie 3 days ago) who [...]

Extract

September 6, 2009

This one was a bit odd.  If you enjoy odd (I don’t always), you may enjoy this.  Although two of my favorite odd enjoying people (Erika and Lyle) gave it a C and  B- respectively. My main reason for going to see this (other than to give you my opinion on it), was Jason Bateman.  [...]

The Goods

August 23, 2009

I didn’t know I like Jeremy Piven.  I have never seen Entourage or anything else he has been in as far as I can recall.  I didn’t even think I would like this movie when I saw the preview.  But like it I did. Piven is a funny guy, without being overly stupid to get [...]

This is an advanced review, the movie opens nationwide in October. I enjoy memoirs and biopics, they are my books and movies of choice, so when a chance to go to an advanced screening came up I jumped on it. I shouldn’t have jumped so high. Amelia Earhart was an aviator, she was a damn [...]
