Thoughts and reflections on movies.
I have a lot of movies I adore that I happily recommend to people, but three of my favourite movies of all time always have been putting on the brakes before getting the word out.
Last night I went to see Titanic in theatres.
Last night I went to a midnight viewing of the Hunger Games.
In a nostalgic mood (and because I’m either suffering from food poisoning or a monster has taken up residence in my stomach), I decided to rewatch some Disney films I loved as a child: Mary Poppins, 101 Dalmations, and Bedknobs and Broomsticks. It’s probably been about 20 years since I’ve last seen Bedknobs and Broomsticks [...]

I apparently blog about this movie a lot (see this review, and this review and this mention), and generally all within the same context: coming-of-age.
You all know of my inappropriate love of Daniel Radcliffe, yes? As well as my penchant for creepy gothic stories? Well, here is the trailer for a movie that has both these things! Therefore, I must conclude The Woman In Black was made with me in mind.
Yesterday we discussed the casting of Jennifer Lawrence in a role that could have gone to a person of color. Today I would like to direct your attention to something far worse: For those of you who don’t know, Akira was a cult film based on a manga about a post-apocalyptic, dystopian future society.
