Oh, I am so re-watching the entire extended LotR trilogy over my break between Christmas and New Years!

Henry Jenkins wrote an interesting blog post about the new Star Trek movie here:
Five Ways to Start a Conversation About the New Star Trek Film (warning for spoilers, obviously!). I especially like his observations about Spock ( Read more... )

That's right, folks, it's out tomorrow! You all should go see it, it's a pretty terrific film (apart from a few lines of dialogue that are verging on the sappy). Besides, who doesn't want to bask in big-screen Paul Gross?

And now, a meme (gacked from bzzinglikeneon and karabouGo to urbandictionary.com and type in your answer to each question in the search box, then ( Read more... )

Ok, so apparently when I wasn't paying attention my local movie theatre started showing anime/manga-based movies once a month, in collab with the Anime Club at the library. After just seeing Ken'ichi Matsuyama in person at the Int'l premier for Detroit Metal City, Famous Players was showing Death Note last night (he plays L). Death Note was never a ( Read more... )

Ok, so have I mentioned that J and I have tix to the premier of Rachel Getting Married at the Toronto International Film Festival next Saturday? Well, we do.

She sounded a ( Read more... )

Yes please!!

Also, I'm excited to see CKR in Californication!

Wow. I mean, we were all expecting it to be awesome, but it's rare that a movie actually lives up to the hype. I think the Dark Knight is actually better than the hype made it out to be. Definitely better than Batman Begins, and that's a movie that I love. I was literally on the edge of my seat for most of the movie: I kept edging forward when ( Read more... )

Iron Man = awesome.
I'm pretty sure most of my f-list has seen it already, but if you haven't, you should :D Also v. excited for the Dark Knight; that's the first time I've actually seen the full trailer for it! Man, the Joker looks super creepy ( Read more... )
