Maybe I should limit my blog posts to movies I pay to see.
Transformers made my day ever so sweeter. I was told it was a nerd movie, where the nerdy guy gets the hot girl. I can appreciate such a storyline as it parallels my own romance with my boyfriend. Also, I experienced some faint [...]
Thank you, Pixar, for existing. Nothing impresses me more than Pixar. The first ten minutes of the film made my mouth go dry from being open so much. The detail for a animated film, from scratches on the spice rack to picture-perfect imitation of rats… I was in awe by their fur, disgusted by [...]
Always good.
I’m starting to appreciate watching movies more than once (or twice). Apparently, there are a lot of things in them you’d never pick up that are intentionally there. Like the guy at Neo’s door that says, “You need to unplug.” Since you all (*crickets chirping*) know what the Matrix looks like, and it would [...]
I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. The only criticisms I give it involve the excessive violence that seems out of place for such a light film. The two ‘hits’ in the movie, one by Mrs. Smith (Jolie) and Mr. Smith (Pitt), remind me of Buffy (the S&M and the quick-death [...]
All satirical movies should be watched with similarly satirical food accompaniments.
We watched Thank You for Smoking with Little Smokies (small sausages) and smoked brick cheese, smoked cheddar and smoked sausage. The thing with smoked food is that you can’t taste the smoke until it hits the back of your mouth, and then WHAM! It’s like [...]
Why do we try to teach high school students Shakespeare? Teach them grammar, instead, and leave Shakespeare for when they’re actually paying to learn.
Another beef I have with Shakespeare: Little kids like Kate believe what everyone tells them, that “the greatest writer of all time is William Shakespeare.” First off, this ignores all literature not [...]
with Sean Connery.
After taking a year of Russian, I can say with certainty that Sean Connery does not have a Russian accent in this movie. I can also say with certainty that Sean Connery does not know how to act any character that is not ‘Sean Connery.’ It was very difficult to watch this movie [...]
Scary, yet hopeful. It made me worry about the milk I drink now that I’m living in the States for the summer. It also made me worry about cancer, which, for the first time in my life, I have seriously considered its potential links to bio-engineered everything.
Something they have in the States and not Canada? [...]
…is not a movie I will likely see. But this friendly-looking old man just so happens to be directing it. It also just so happens that a couple days ago I was walking around near the distillery district in downtown Toronto with a couple friends and noticed the indicative pylons of a movie shoot. When [...]
Look, it’s a funny-scary Korean monster movie!!!
A must-see. I typically hate scary movies, but this looks like tremendously good family fun.
Speaking of countries that start with K, Kazakhstan has made a pretty looking movie-film. Nomad looks like they’re trying to shake the Borat image, with an epic.

a long poem, typically one derived from ancient [...]
