Badass Ladies
Tonight I saw Columbiana, which basically can be summarised as "What if Batman and the Punisher had a baby, and that baby was Zoe Saldana?"
It was really good.
I really liked the young actress who played bb!Zoe Saldana, so I looked her up. And she's the same one who played Rue in The Hunger Games, which I saw Wednesday night. She must have ( Read more... ) -

A Single Man is a beautiful film. It's quite touching, but I mostly mean the way it was shot - some of the loveliest cinematography I've ever seen. The way it would occassionally linger on parts of people's faces even made sense, since it was clearly from Colin Firth's character's POV. The default colouring of the film is sort of muted, which I ( Read more... ) -

* Saw X-Men: First Class last week and then got eaten by the fandom. Umm. Okay! Without getting into spoilers, the film hurts me in my feminism. There are a lot of glaringly obvious issues in terms of gender and race. In addition, it doesn't really work as a prequel.

the owls are not what they seem
I've been watching Twin Peaks. Three or four episodes into season 2 so far. Strangest. Show. Ever. I don't think I've seen any David Lynch films, so this might be why I didn't realize the extent of the oddness I would be seeing. So weird. I'm not even sure how to explain it. It's like the acting will be deliberately off or odd in certain ( Read more... ) -
"You're so beautiful, it hurts to look at you."
"So when Rayanne Graff told me my hair was holding me back, I had to listen. 'Cause she wasn't just talking about my hair. She was talking about my life."
Exams are over, and I finally got my mom to watch My So-Called Life with me. She's resisted for years. But now she's seen the pilot, and I know that she is charmed. Mwahaha ( Read more... ) -

Tonight I saw the sequel to the The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire. Lisbeth is still amazing. Blomkist was also awesome. They still have epic research skills. (The author having experience in journalism explains a lot - the movie really goes the processes of how you collect information ( Read more... )
