We’ve been absent, have your hearts grown fonder?

Hello there poor, poor neglected blog and followers! It’s been a while, eh? I apologize for the pair of us, we both had some things in our real lives going on that distracted us from our less-than-usual updating schedule. But fear not! We have not forgotten you, if there are still any of you left [...]

‘Les Miserables’ never lives up to its name (and that’s a good thing)

Whenever I’m asked what my favorite movie or album or musical is, I usually answer with something along the lines that it changes all the time, but my favorite of the week is…However, once I really got to thinking about it, if there is one musical that could be categorized as a favorite, one that [...]

Live blogging the 2011 Oscars!

It’s Oscar time! Think Colin Firth like thoughts everyone and follow along for some delightfully snarky commentary by me on the blog and Sarah on the twitter feed conveniently located in the sidebar 8:36 – even though I feel like I’m five, I am laughing hysterically at these ridiculous skits. 8:37 – Ann Hathaway kind [...]

Why the only Best Picture nominee I’ve seen should be the one to win

By the time the Oscars air next weekend I will have seen only one of the ten movies nominated for best picture, so take this next statement with a grain of salt. “The King’s Speech” is the most-worthy of all its acting and most its technical nominations out of all ten. The film tells of [...]

SyFy’s Alice is a trip worth taking

I know that in my columns I have talked about adaptations, reboots, re-imaginings and remakes in both television and cinema. And I’m pretty sure I’ve ranted on the subject of Hollywood’s obsession with giving a new face to an old piece of work once or twice. While most of the time the redo’s are okay [...]

Liveblogging the Golden Globes

First, I have to apologize for the lack of posts on here, I give the usual excuses of real life and holidays. Second, I apologize in advance for my lack of liveblogging abilities. I’m going to attempt to liveblog the Golden Globes while Mel handles the tweets but I think the last liveblogging I did [...]

Welcome to ‘Burlesque’

First, I want to apologize for not being around here for the past month, I blame the holidays and my insane family. This does mean I have a few reviews for you to enjoy, however. I was going to post my Harry Potter review first, as I saw it the weekend it came out, but [...]

The Golden Globe nominations came out this morning. Did your favorites make the cut? Check out the link below for the full list. Golden Globe Nominations The list is pretty standard without a lot of surprise. I am glad that they recognized the genius behind The Big C and that Katy Sagel finally got nominated [...]

Fall Movie Guide 2010

It’s that wonderful time of year again where the movie studios decide they should release a zillion good movies at once, forcing us to go broke trying to keep up. Since television has hit a lull, I thought I’d mix it up a bit and do a movie preview and hit the highlights of the [...]

‘Easy A’ gets good marks

First, I’d like to apologize for my lack of week in review, I got Sims 3 for my birthday and essentially spent the past 72 hours playing it nonstop. I don’t know what’s so addicting about watching little virtual people live their little virtual lives. Maybe its the God-like powers it gives me: You want [...]
