Hey there again everyone! So another week has gone by, and I had time to watch a few things this time. Sue and I went to see Hugo this afternoon and chatted briefly about it in our podcast today, so I won’t rehash it here. Suffice to say though that I really enjoyed it. I…

That Summer of ’77
1977. There were only a few markers in my life before then that I could remember. Jaws being one of them as mentioned in a previous post. I remember liking Happy Days, and pretending my bike was Fonzi’s motorcycle, though sometimes I would pretend to be Evel Knievel as well. Most of my toys were…
The Fate of Ahsoka Tano
What happens to Ahsoka Tano? I’m not a prequel apologist, even though I do love my Star Wars, the prequel trilogy is depressingly bad for those of us who waited a majority of our lifetime for them. There are however some sequences in all three episodes of the prequels that I like. They also…
What Did I Watch This Week? Vol.3
Welcome back! Sue and I decided to take a week off of podcasting this week, because, honestly, there wasn’t a lot to talk about, we figured you’d already seen our Muppets review, and if we talked about it we’d end up unintentionally spoiling moments of the film, that are best left unspoilt. And for those…
The Muppets – Review
First and foremost, I’m a movie snob. I have people who can testify to this under oath. I can tell stories about someone very dear to me who wouldn’t tell me some of the films they had watched because they thought I would judge them harshly for it. I’m a snob, I’m opinionated, and I…
Pixar’s Brave
Pixar doesn’t need me to defend them from the trolls and bullies of cyberspace, I’ll let their work speak for itself, and it is a very impressive body of work, only two real missteps in twelve films (I was willing to forgive the original Cars, which was fun, and gorgeous to look at, but Cars…
The Hunger Games Trailer
Is it March yet? In the words of Sue Maynard, the site’s co-creator and fellow writer, “I haven’t been this excited about a movie, or book series in a very long time.” And you know what? I agree with her. Yes, there are films I’m looking forward to, The Muppets on the 23rd, Brad Bird’s live…
What Did I Watch This Week? Vol.2
So that’s another week down, and boy does one’s week fill up fast. Last week, I had time for all kinds of things to watch, not so much this time around. I guess that’s what happens when life happens. Still I did make time to watch a few films, and a little bit more telly…
The Immortals… isn’t.
One of the kindest things I can say about The Immortals is that I didn’t hate it. I went into the the theater with zero expectations, and in fact had discussed with fellow blogger Ryan McNeil from http://www.thematinee.ca/ how we both expected to hate it. Not that either of us went in with an intent…
Why I’m Looking Forward To The Muppets
The Muppets are honest souls. And before you point out that they aren’t even real, I argue that point, and say they are, from a certain point of view. The fact that two, to three people can work together to bring the performance of these characters to life actually gives me hope for society in…
