Can’t We All Just Enjoy Star Wars?

by Unknown's avatar

The answer, of course, is no! No we can’t. Because Star Wars is a major phenomenon, it was the first blockbuster, and we can’t tolerate any mistakes discrepancies, or anything being out of place from how we view Star Wars to be. Sigh… Okay look, I hate to burst everyone’s bubble, but to all of your Star Wars purists (snobs) out there: Star Wars IS … Read More Can’t We All Just Enjoy Star Wars?

Cinderella 2015

by Unknown's avatar

So… my wife rented this last night and then fell asleep. So I continued watching it alone. I don’t usually do movie reviews, but since this is a fairly recent fantasy film that has gotten a lot of praise… and I mean a LOT, I thought I’d give my take on it. I tend to shy away from remakes, which let’s face it, that’s what … Read More Cinderella 2015

Is Hollywood Truly Out of Original Ideas?

by Unknown's avatar

Statement: Hollywood is out of original ideas. MYTH!!! I hear this one all the time whenever ANOTHER transformers, or ANOTHER desperate attempt to make a good Fantastic 4 movie comes out. With all the hype and advertising, it seems like Hollywood is completely out of original ideas. These days, everything is based on something, be it a book, another movie, or a real life … Read More Is Hollywood Truly Out of Original Ideas?

The Disney Effect…

by Unknown's avatar

You know… I’m starting to understand the gripe everyone has with Disney’s… bastardization of children’s literature. Initially, whenever someone griped over the princesses or the cheesy love at first sight stories, I kind of just rolled my eyes. Come on, they were harmless children’s stories, right? Well… Yesterday, we put on Mickey and the Beanstalk for Gabe and… well let’s just say it’s a … Read More The Disney Effect…

Meaningful Quote…

by Unknown's avatar

“Apparently someone asked Raymond Chandler once what he thought about Hollywood ruining all of his books. And he took them to his study and pointed up to the shelf where they all were and he said, ‘Look, they’re there. They’re fine. They’re okay.’ That’s the attitude I have to take. The film hasn’t ruined my book.” -Alan Moore

Review of Inspiration

by Unknown's avatar

So… The Endless Forms Most Beautiful… I usually don’t do reviews… unless something really annoys me and I need to vent, but this album left me a little vexed. I love Nightwish. They’ve been around forever, they put on an AMAZING show, and they have a huge body of work that includes serious music as well as lighthearted stuff. ‘Dark Chest of Wonders’ is … Read More Review of Inspiration
