The Lost Weekend
The Lost Weekend is a tale of the power and destruction of alcoholism, as told through the powerful talents of director Billy Wilder. This film won Oscars for best picture, actor, director and screenplay in 1945, it won the grand prize at Cannes, and the Golden Globe – this is a film that was lauded and applauded by all when it came out and I have to say it was well deserved.While The Lost
Star Wars: A New Hope
Everyone's FavoriteOriginally uploaded by Kiel BryantThe whim came over me yesterday to watch Star Wars, not just any Star Wars but the version of A New Hope from my childhood – you know the one where the blur at the bottom of Luke’s landspeeder was created by putting vaseline on the camera lens. As much as I appreciate Lucas’s desire to “complete” the things he did in the original trilogy, I
Only You
On a whim I ordered Only You from Netflix, I was pleasantly surprised. Faith is a little girl when she plays the Ouija board with her brother and asks it who her soul mate is, Faith gets the name “Damon Bradley”; as a teen she goes to a fortune teller and gets the same name which further enforces to Faith that a man named Damon Bradley is a powerful force in her future. Now in her 20’s Faith is
Iron Man
Iron ManOriginally uploaded by anglekyra1Iron Man 2 is about to begin principal photography…and so I watched Iron Man again. When I watch Iron Man I kind of get the same feeling about Iron Man 2 that I got when I would think about what the sequal to Batman Begins would be – that I don’t think there is any way the second part of the franchise can be bad.Jon Favreau put together an incredibly tight

Out of the Past
Out of the Past (1947)Originally uploaded by linfanteOut of the Past is one of the best film noir’s I have ever seen, one of the noir’s that definitely defined the genre.Jeff Bailey is an owner of a gas station, or at least that’s what he would have you think. In classic noir style he is actually a former PI who is hiding out from an old boss, and a past that he doesn’t want to catch up with him
Chaplin
Robert Downey Jr in "Chaplin"Originally uploaded by bluesteel1981Charlie Chaplin was one of the most influential individuals in film history and even today comedians look to him for inspiration. Chaplin is the bio-pic that tells the tale of Chaplin from his early childhood through his acceptance of his lifetime achievement Oscar near the end of his life.I must first give props to Richard
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Steve Martine and John Candy are comedy geniuses; each has a very different style yet somehow in Planes, Trains & Automobiles they work together flawlessly.Neal Page and Del Griffith have one thing in common, they are both trying to get to Chicago and their plane gets stranded states away because of a snowstorm. Neal reluctantly agrees to team up with Del to find another way home and together the

So makes Iron Maiden so special that they could last 30 years?
Some say it’s that driving bass played at
light speed, hard-hitting gallop rhythms with so many changes and the
twin lead guitars playing with heaviness and harmonies all sprinkled
with such thematic lyrics that convey the most vivid pictures in your
mind.
Most of today’s songs are about love, sex or how fine a girl is. With Maiden, it’s about a man
contemplating his life as he waits for his execution, fear of the dark, war, historic battles, ghosts, nightmares, books, experiences, flying in WWII, Samuel Coleridge poems, religion, genetic technology, aliens, atom bomb, angels, demons, devil, life, brotherhood, historical characters and, yes, love as well. How could you ever get bored?
Someone Like You
Someone Like You is the story of Jane Goodale. She gets her heart broken when she dates a coworker and becomes utterly depressed, depressed enough to become obsessed with figuring out why men leave women and invents a pseudonym that allows her to write about her theory – new cow. However, during Jane’s depression she becomes close to coworker and womanizer Eddie and doesn’t realize that perhaps

The Player
Robert Altman made phenomenal, biting, slice-of-life films in a way that no one else can make them; Altman drops you into his characters world, introduces a conflict and before the entire world makes too much sense he pulls you back out again, but Altman’s worlds change you forever.In The Player Griffin Mill is a high powered executive at a movie studio, he is a man that hold the dreams of

So it’s Valentine’s Day and I managed to get through it without having to watch a romantic movie, instead I watched sat on my day bed with my best friend, we wrapped ourselves in throws and we watched Swingers. I adore this movie and she had never seen it and I have to tell you that it was a really fun movie to watch with someone else for the first time.What was really fun in watching Swingers

Confessions of a Shopaholic
Isla Fisher - Confessions of a ShopaholicOriginally uploaded by gr8tfateI’ve read the first three Shopaholic books and I love them. So when I found out Becky Bloomwood was coming to the big screen I was excited. However, while I was disappointed that the take of Becky Bloomwood from Sophie Kinsella’s books was not on the big screen the version of Becky Bloomwood that did arrive was an enjoyable
Frost/Nixon
I do love Ron Howard, but for some reason I was not super excited about the prospect of seeing Frost/Nixon, but I still intended to see it because I know Ron Howard makes movies worth seeing. Well, I saw Frost/Nixon today and I can safely say that I was not at all disappointed in it, in fact I was enthralled by the film.Frost/Nixon is the tale of David Frost who is a British television

The Visitor
I wanted to see The Visitor when I first saw the trailer but it was early in the year and I forgot about it…until Oscar nominations came out and Richard Jenkins was nominated for best actor. I promptly added the film to my Netflix and watched it last night.The Visitor is the tale of Walter Vale, a professor of economics who has effectively checked out of life. Walter teaches one class,

Rambo
I don’t understand why Sylvester Stallone is revisiting his greatest hits, first he did another Rocky and then back to the ultimate guy series - Rambo. John Rambo has been living in Thailand off the grid when a group of missionaries pays him to take them into war torn Burma, reluctantly he agrees to take them. When they disappear he is paid to take a group of mercenaries back into Burma to
The Wedding Singer
Robbie Hart is the best wedding singer around…until his fiancée Linda doesn’t show up to their wedding. This sends Robbie into a downward spiral that his friends Julia, Sammy & Holly to pull him out of it. Even though Robbie can no longer stand to perform at a wedding he agrees to help Julia plan hers when her fiancée Glen is less than amenable to helping Julia. The problem becomes that
A Scanner Darkly
I think that Philip K. Dick wrote stories that simply resonate with me in ways no other stories are capable of; I do not know why it is his stories that fascinate me so much but he is definitely one of the reasons that science fiction is one of my favorite genres. Dick was paranoid about the government and society and his themes often dealt with personal freedom among many other things, but his
RiseAgainst, StrikeAnywhere & Rentokill live in Vienna,Austria
just wanted to share these European Tour pix of Rise Against & Strike Anywhere on their stop at Vienna, courtesy of the ace talent of MCK Photography.
Hometown heroes Rentokill was the opener
Chicago's Rise Against is among the frontrunners of melodic punk today, but their recent album was a letdown. That being said, the quartet's 2003 release 'Revolutions Per Minute' is listed inside my top 30 albums of all time
I haven't listen much to Strike Anywhere apart from their sophomore effort 'Dead FM'. Heard a lot of good vibe about this Richmond, Virginia-based hardcore punkers.
Of all the 3, Vienna's Rentokill is my favourite. Their sonic charge of politically-infused melodic punk/hardcore reminds me very much of Propagandhi. The fact that mainstay indie labels like Fat Wreck Chords and Bridge Nine not signing them is almost criminal
Taken
I adore Luc Besson and the fact that he no longer directs does make me a bit sad; luckily he still chooses to write and because of that I have movies like Taken. Taken really is Luc Besson without Besson at the helm.What is nice about Taken is that it is an amazing action movie, but before the action sets in it manages to set up our characters and our plot so that we actually manage to connect
Oklahoma!
As the Hollywood lore goes Hugh Jackman was an actor in Australia and performed in a version of Oklahoma! which was filmed. While Wolverine was being cast for Bryan Singer's X-men someone caught a performance (or perhaps the recording), noticed Jackman and sent it to those in charge of casting for the film. They were intrigued by Jackman and decided to have him audition - the rest is history.I
Youth Without Youth
Let me start by saying that I adore Francis Ford Coppola; the man is a visionary and iconic filmmaker that will make prolific films until he decides to stop and his career will be remembered for years after it ends. That being said, there are times I question Coppola’s filmmaking decisions…while I can’t say that I question why he made Youth Without Youth, I really can’t say that I understand the
Cinderella
Since I was a little girl I have been fascinated with Cinderella; the Disney version has been my favorite classic Disney animated film from my childhood. Everyone knows the tale of Cinderella, whether that is because of the Disney film or one of the many versions of this fairy tale that exists.I can say from many years of being fascinated with fairy tales that Cinderella in the Disney form is
The Singing Detective

The disease has made Dan true to his name; he is mad at the world, thinks his wife is cheating on him and trying to take him for his money, and suffers from intense paranoia. In an effort to escape the prison of his body Dan’s
She's All That
I was in high school when I bought my first DVD player (at the time DVD’s were brand spankin’ new) and I still remember the first DVD’s I bought, these two DVD’s are probably the perfect example of the diversity in my movie vocabulary, these DVD’s are The Silence of the Lambs and She’s All That.I adored She’s All That in high school and it still amuses me greatly. The movie really is My Fair
