There are some movies that thrive on the hype of the moment. And once that moment passes, the film slips as a passing fad. But there are movies out there that still attract our interest even decades after their release. So what makes a classic? Whether it’s fast paced action, original plotlines, chilling after-effects, or…
Now that we’re settled in the second semester of school, homework and tests must be coming up pretty thick and fast. I have been incredibly stressed and this weekend was good to just relax and take a break for a while. During this break, I watched a lot of old comedies and it was good…
Sometimes you just need a good quote to turn a bad day into a good one! Here are some of my favourites: “He was gone, and I did not have time to tell him what I had just now realized: that I forgave him, and she forgave us, and that we had to forgive to survive…
So I watched Les Mis. And I may or may not have cried. Of course, it was fabulous. If you have no experience with Les Mis…you should probably Wikipedia before you watch it in theaters. There are plot bunnies flying EVERYWHERE. Breaking off from that tangent, I was surprised that everybody did so well. Especially…
“I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.” Life of Pi could be said to be the perfect embodiment of today’s culture of technology and the interplay between this technology and our humanity.…
I’ve noticed that books into movies have been pretty hot in the media lately, that instantly turn an unknown novel into the most famous read of the year! With The Hunger Games and Twilight being big hits, I was happy to see that lesser known a book that didn’t involve cheesy love triangles and wild…
Summer vacation is the perfect time to kick back, relax, and watch some movies! During the school year, I’m always daydreaming about being able to flop on the sofa and watch my favourite films. Since it is the heart of summer vacation right now and I have finished watching a set of some of my…
After having watched the first two movies in the trilogy numerous times, I went to watch The Dark Knight Rises with the highest of expectations – expectations that were not only met, but surpassed, as I watched the movie. The movie immediately jumps into one its most character developing scenes, where the main antagonist is…
Starring Sam Worthington and Elizabeth Banks, Man On A Ledge is simply an overexaggerated heist thriller with a different twist, in my opinion. The story is about an escaped con/ex-cop, Nick Cassidy (Worthington) who is framed by millionaire businessman, David Englander (Ed Harris), since he framed him stealing his $40 million diamond for which he…
Only a few days ago did the Motion Pictures Association of America (MPAA) decide to withdraw its “R” (restricted) film rating on the new film Bully and release it without any ratings due to public protests.
Lately, I feel like there hasn’t been really good witty or humorous entertainment flying around. Sure, Community started up again and Sherlock’s a great time killer; but I feel like there hasn’t been anything up to par with Hot Fuzz, Shawn of the Dead or Date Night (all excellent movies which I highly recommend). So…
If you have not already done so, please read my review of The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay books. When I heard that the Hunger Games movie was PG 13, I was quite disappointed; I could not comprehend how the movie with an age rating under 18A could be anything other than horrible. But…
No one can say they don’t like documentaries. Though not all may have a plot line, action or drama, they can be extremely interesting and intriguing. There are so many documentaries available to us, it’s quite easy to find one that addresses our interests, hobbies, or passions. Personally, I watch all kinds of documentaries for…
At the beginning, I honestly felt like Tintin was one of the least perceptive person ever. His dog, who is totally adorable, seems to discover 85% of stuff that moves the story along. Hm. And not only that, but Tintin deals a lot of property damage in the places he’s at. Although he is running from the ‘bad guys’, he still destroys almost half of an entire city.
