If you haven't read Bridge to Terebithia, your life is a hollow, meaningless shell. If you have, you might enjoy
watching the trailer for the upcoming
movie.
Wednesday, November 22. 2006Wednesday, October 4. 2006Tuesday, November 29. 2005It's fantastic!
So, to any one who has bothered to take the time to listen to my psychobabble these past few weeks, you'll know that I
was very excited to see the movie, RENT. .
Man, it was spectacular. I think every one should go see it. Right now. A decidedly Bohemian theme, the story is an expression of love, with a message that happiness can exist even in the most terryfying, suburban hell. While I must say that the movie was not as good as I expect the on-stage play to be, it was still great. I bawled the first time I saw it, and cried the entire way through the second time. (A/N: This may be because I'm extremely hormonal at this time of the month, so, you know, don't really expect it to be terribly heart-rending.) So, Daboo, I'm definately taking you. With MG, if possible. As for the rest of you, go see it. Friday, November 18. 2005

"A rare film that does it all and never loses itself along the way. Successfully blends drama, action, comedy, romance,
and mystery to form an almost flawless movie."
-- Michelle Alexandria, ECLIPSE MAGAZINE "Goblet of Fire is indisputably the best movie in the franchise thus far." -- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION "[Newell] balances delicately between whimsy and the ominous, on the uncertain middle ground where Harry lives, poised between fun at school, teenage romance and the dark abyss." -- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES "Harry Potter's not just for kids anymore. Director Mike Newell has reset the bar for the series and delivered a smashingly dark and dramatic film" -- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire might be the best time you have at the movies all year." -- Matt Pais, CHICAGO TRIBUNE "It's scarier than the previous three movies and more poignant." -- Claudia Puig, USA TODAY "It's hard to resist." -- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE "The greatest magic of this book - and this film - is that it doesn't pretend that growing up won't change everything. It's the first Potter film where reality and fantasy are equally fascinating." -- Nick Rogers, STATE JOURNAL-REGISTER (SPRINGFIELD, IL) "The best thing about the picture is Harry's new maturity: For the first time, he dominates a picture named for him." -- Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER So Daboo and I want to go see the new Harry Potter flick tonight. Anybody else interested in joining us? Please leave a comment below. Friday, October 21. 2005Aslan Speaks

Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V
For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) who is rescued from a
life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known only as "V." Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in
the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he detonates two London landmarks and takes over the
government-controlled airwaves, urging his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers
the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself – and emerges as his unlikely ally
in the culmination of his plot to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.
Remember, remember the 5th of November The gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. Thursday, September 15. 2005Harry Potter
The new trailer for Harry Potter and The
Goblet of Fire, is now available for your viewing pleasure. Please remember to turn off all cell phones during the
show.
Tuesday, September 13. 2005Gone With The Wind
One good thing about being sick the past couple days (Thanks Radar, TML, and Wren), is that I got a chance to see the
movie Gone With The Wind for the first time. Unlike the last time I watched a so-called classic movie (Casablanca), I
wasn't dissapointed. It was an enjoyable movie, that I really recommend any movie fan to watch.
Tuesday, September 6. 2005Movies!
Hey everybody! Hi Doctor Nick! Wait sorry, let me try again.
Hey guys, I am here to remind you all that you need to have your movie selections ready for tomorrow nights' D&D session. Please make sure you are prepared so we don't have to waste any of our precious gaming time. May I reccomend a few good movies? How about Son in Law starring Pauly Shore. Or there is always Roller Blade Seven, starring Frank Stallone. And who could forget Zapped!, starring the American heart-throb Scott Baio. Whatever your movie choice is, just have it ready to go.

Murderball
Murderball is a movie I've been wanting to see for a few weeks now. As usual the Bill Simmons, The Sports Guy, says why, better than I can.
Monday, July 11. 2005Thank you, Popcorn Bandits
I've been watching "House, M.D." all season, and for some reason found myself inexplicably drawn to the character of Dr.
James Wilson, played by one "Robert Sean Leonard".
"What is it about this secondary character that I like so much?" I wondered. It all came together this afternoon whilst I read Danny's review of Dead Poet's Society. IT'S NEIL PERRY! You see, "Dead Poet's Society" was the first movie I ever watched where I realized there was more going on here than some moguls and actors trying to make a buck. People have stories they want to tell, and some of them choose to do so via the Silver Screen. In the character of Neil Perry, I finally looked deeper than the $3.50 admission price and saw another human being's pain bleeding through the screen. This movie completely changed my life, in both my attitude towards movies as previously discussed, and in my attitude towards poetry. Some of you may find this hard to believe given my history of posts thus far on the current incarnation of the Homestarmy blog, but until I saw DPS, I never cared for poetry. I thought it was a silly waste of time. After watching it, I even went so far as to start a Dead Poet's Society at Dixie Middle School. It never had more than 5 members, but it's how I got to know Susie Turner, and it's where I first learned to enjoy both reading and writing poetry. I recommend Danny's review to any of you who enjoyed this movie. I've seen this movie enough that I completely wore through 2 VHS copies, and now own it on DVD (in fact, it was the first DVD I ever purchased), but I still enjoyed reading what he had to say.

Spoilers, if you haven't seen Revenge of the Sith
Okay, so admittedly I'm the farthest thing from an expert, or even a true fan, that is possible in our current reality. I can't remember the first three (or middle three?) movies. I have a fuzzy memory of some Eewoks (is that even how you spell it?) moving about in a way eerily reminiscent of the Oompah Loompahs, and I seem to remember some blonde pretty-boy whining a lot. Some screaming of the word "NOOOOO!" was done. I remember some really awkward hairstyles. So when I tell you that I liked the Revenge of the Sith, keep in mind that my opinion can be valued at slightly more than gravel, but slightly less than nice smooth stones. That said, I liked it. Sure, there were some boring moments. I was personally bored by many of the battles and interchanges, because I had some idea of how things were going to turn out, and my mind requires a slightly greater challenge in order to stay really focused. But somewhere between the killing of innocent children and the severing of three (3!) limbs in one blow, I got excited. I thought Darth Vader's transformation was done really well. Anniken was too pretty for me to really envision the change in my own imagination, so I was excited about that part. On a side note, who the crap lets someone they love roast slowly to death with three severed limbs, falling slowly but inevitably toward a lake of fiery lava? I mean, sure, Obi-wan didn't want to kill Annikin. He loved him. But come on! Letting him die slowly and in unbelievable pain is somehow more soothing to his conscience? Sure. Whatever. Anyway. I'm told that multiple viewings are necessary to make a final decision by those of you who are real fans, but I still liked it. Maybe even enough to watch those original three again someday. |
