Admittedly, this is not the first movie I’ve ever seen more than once in theaters. I saw Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers at least seven times in theaters, and if I had had the time/money, I would’ve seen Star Trek Into Darkness at least two or three times in theaters. But Captain America: […]
Review: Hit and Run
I follow Dax Shepard on Twitter, so I knew about this movie when it came out, but I never got around to seeing it. I just found it on Netflix recently, and I was in a binging mood so I watched it. I’d heard it was good, and now I get why! First of all, […]
Book Your Stay at The Grand Budapest Hotel: Anderson Makes It Well Worth Your While
I’ve been putting off writing about this film because I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to do it justice. I’m still afraid of that, but I figured I better just jump in and run with it or I’ll procrastinate forever. First off, if you’ve seen pretty much any of Wes Anderson’s films, […]
Cap’ Hits a Home Run as His Past Catches Up
I’ve been more excited for this movie than any other Marvel sequel thus far, and it did not disappoint in any way. This is a hold-onto-your-seat, gasp-ridden, action-packed emotional roller coaster – and I loved every minute of it, right down to the last sequence after the credits. FAIR WARNING: This review contains spoilers and […]
The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Episode 22: Captain America Edition
I have been waiting for this movie FOREVER! I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like Chris Evans, and there are probably even fewer who might harbor any resentment for his costar in the Winter Soldier, Robert Redford. Redford is an American film icon – he even has his own film festival. He has starred alongside […]
Don’t Let the Story Put You Off: ‘Noah’ Is Too Beautiful to Miss
One of the first things I noted about Noah was that it was not accurate. When I shared this with someone, I was immediately answered with, “Well, OF COURSE it’s not accurate! The story is completely made up!” While I felt my intelligence was a little insulted at that, I suppose I ought to clarify: […]
The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Episode 21: FWBL Edition
Since the new sitcom, Friends with Better Lives (#FBWL) is premiering tomorrow on CBS, I thought I’d focus this week’s episode on one of the series’ stars, our old friend, James Van Der Beek! Most recently, we saw James playing a version of himself on Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23, but that show […]
Thursday Teenagers, Contracts and Madness
I forgot to mention Reign in the last post, but that’s in here. too! Surviving Jack I was a little surprised the ratings on this were so weak. I loved it! I’m game for Christopher Meloni in any case, couple him with Rachael Harris (Suits, Bad Words) and set the in the early nineties (’91, […]
Thursday Flashbacks, Flash-forwards and Interviews
This was such a long one, five episodes to go through, I split Thursday’s recaps into two. Look for recaps on Suits and the premiere of Surviving Jack soon! Once Upon a Time in Wonderland This time, it’s Alice and the Knave who go back in time to tell the story of how they met, […]
Wednesday Pfinales and Egos
I’m going to have to skip The Americans this week. I watched it all the way through, but I honestly have no idea what happened other than Elizabeth paid a visit to Philip’s other “wife” and Elizabeth broke up with the sailor. Beyond that, I’m out. TBT, I was a little drunk after a rough […]
