The State of the Race: The Aftermath. →
Throughout this Awards Season every time a film I loved lost in an Award Show, I always ran to this website to read what this woman had to say about. Much like myself, she loves The Social Network and knows exactly why it is a perfect film. She was disappointed by last night’s Oscars much like I was/am, but her words on the matter have made me feel a bit better about this whole situation.

Oscars Reactions.
I know Kirk Douglas is legend and whatever, but he needed to get his old ass off that stage. Not to be rude, but the dude couldn’t even form a sentence. He is too old to be presenting an award and too creepy as well. Imagine if Hailee Steinfeld would’ve won?
I officially dislike Melissa Leo. Scratch that, I want to punch her right in the face. I understand that you knew you were...

Tonight's the Night.
OSCARS tonight! Are you ready? I’m so ready! So far I’ve been spending the day just counting the minutes until the red carpet starts. A bit obsessive non? Can you really blame though, especially now that I feel like The Social Network could pull a major upset.
There’s this Oscar specialist/analyst that I follow and she is saying that if David Fincher wins for directing then TSN...

The Oscars: And The Winners Will Be...
As you all know by now, The Oscars are this sunday and this guy right here wants The Social Network to win. I hear you, The Social Network winning seems as unlikely as Javier Bardem winning over Colin Firth. But the great thing about award shows is the suspense, the feeling of uncertainty, the anticipation and the fact that anything can happen. This is ranking up to be one of the most special...

A First Impressions Anecdote of: Faster.
For me, there are two kinds of action films: great action films and mindless action films. While the former are obviously always good, the latter kind has the possibility of either being good or bad. Like for example, Transformers, or basically any film by Michael Bay except for The Island, can be categorized as good mindless action films. These are the films that are fairly straight forward and...

A First Impressions Anecdote of: Devil.
When I first saw the trailer for Devil my immediate reaction was that intrigue, then the name M. Night Shyamalan popped up and I just started laughing along with the rest of the people in the cinema. M. Night Shyamalan has made so many bad films recently that he has become a joke, a hoax and disliked throughout. In the case of Devil, he did not direct it or wrote the screenplay but he did come up...

A First Impressions Anecdote of: The Last Song.
I know what you are thinking: why the hell did I even watch this film? I was placed in a situation where the person who I was with wanted to watch this and I didn’t want to be a bitch and say no. Given the circumstances, I don’t relly regret watching The Last Song which is not to say that it is a good film. This film is bad on numerous levels, but it has open my eyes to a recurring...

Quick Review of: Get Him To The Greek.
Last summer I saw the beginning of Get Him To The Greek and I hated it for a couple of reasons, all of which had absolutely nothing to do with the film itself. You have to understand that I saw the film in one of the most worst cinemas I’ve ever gone too. The sound was bad, the seats were more uncomfortable than watching two hobos making out, and as a result I left after about 15 minutes....

A First Impressions Anecdote of: I'm Here.
Let me start off with a confession: I have only seen two Spike Jonze films. I absolutely loved Where The Wild Things Are and I absolutely hated Adaptation, but I blame Charlie Kaufman for that one. One of things that I noticed right away about his films is their level of originality, melancholy and odd sense of humor. Much like Wes Anderson, Spike Jonze has a very distinct filmmaking style that is...

2011 To Feature The Most Sequels Ever. →
It is completely insane the amount of sequels, threequels, prequels, fourquels, fithquels, etc that will be coming out in 2011. Some I knew of (Transformers 3, Pirates 4), some I didn’t (Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil, Happy Feet 2) and some seem totally unnecessary (Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked).
Check the link for a full break down and for further proof of how originality...

A First Impressions Anecdote of: Wall Street 2.
When viewing Wall Street 2, I am faced with two problems: one, my powerful hatred towards the director Oliver Stone and two, the fact that I know absolutely nothing about Wall Street. I can easily overlook the first problem, but as this film progresses the second problem became more and more predominant. This is not to say that I wasn’t able to follow the story of the film, but every time...
