I broke down and bought a 120GB ipod. This means I went on a downloading spree so I can carry my favorite movies with me, especially since I'm spending a week out at camp in the near future (it's novel not being a counselor where you have to stay at camp ALL the time, I realize I covet my freedom). So what did I download?

Nosferatu- I always loved ( Read more... )

New promo pic for the next season of Robin Hood in which Robin gets a fancier outfit. "Grieving" apparently translates to "wardrobe change". That's right Robin, drown your sorrows in leather.

More previewy Terminator: Salvation stuff. I have to admit it looks really good and I'm not that much of a Terminator fan.

I watched the The Mummy: Tomb ( Read more... )

Since I have a lot of Merlin fans on my flist, I have to recommend you all read or get a copy of The Search for King Arthur by David Day. It's a fabulous book that takes a real historical look at where the Arthur legends originate. It's full of beautiful illustrations, versions of the different legends, and plenty of research as to why the ( Read more... )

Since YouTube has ripped down everything MST3K, I will no longer be titling posts with a quote. Curse you, YouTube.

In watching 10,000 B.C., I feel like I've seen the movie before. I don't mean literally seen it, I mean it's a bizarre combination of cliches from sword and sorcery movies and anything with a pyramid with it. I expected a Wilhelm ( Read more... )

I watched Hairspray last night. My students adore it, but I don't think they really get the humor in it. The whole "Good Morning Baltimore" song is optimistic and one big swipe at the city itself. Is Christopher Walken ever not hilarious and vaguely terrifying at the same time? I did like Amanda Bynes as the dizty best friend who seems to have ( Read more... )

I watched Never Back Down. Only one thing you really need to know about this movie:

Ooooh glory, Ring of the Nibelungs is painful to watch. It's painful because there are good qualities to it that lull you into complacency and then it just SPRINGS some awfulness on you, generally in the form of the guy playing Siegfried. I've seen Benno Furmann in stuff before and never thought he was glaringly bad, but between the awful, awful ( Read more... )

Okay Lee Pace, I get it now. I understand what the furor is all about now.

I watched Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, which is a charming fairy tale of a movie and I was utterly smitten by Lee Pace's Michael. In fact, I didn't think Amy Adams deserved him in the end, but he sure was convincingly in love with her. He was perfect as a sweet guy who ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas, y'all. I hope everyone got what they wanted.

So I sort of want to see Defiance if only I could be assured that most of the characters make it out alive. Meanwhile the best friend wants to see The Unborn because of the Gary Oldman factor and I'm tempted to at least rent it eventually because of the Cam Whatshisname factor and ( Read more... )

Disney dumps Narnia. This is not real good y'all. It means that Walden media is going to have to waste precious time trying to find someone else to back the movie, which means there's a posibility that the movie won't get made. This also screws with the schedules of the actors. It also explains why Ben Barnes is stumping for the role of Aro. He's ( Read more... )
