Oscars broadens Best Picture list to 10

Posted in Flix News, Random Thoughts, tagged , , , , on June 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Perhaps in attempt to get the early buzz out for next year’s Oscar, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences just announced they’re adding an extra FIVE flix to the Best Picture list. Or perhaps an attempt to make amends to excluding the immensely popular (and critically-lauded) The Dark Knight from a list of [...]

Bale – always the second banana?

Posted in Featured Actor/Director, Random Thoughts, tagged , , , , , , , on June 28, 2009 | 17 Comments »

I read this article on Yahoo yesterday on why Johnny Depp is the only one on the poster of Public Enemies, but not Bale. The funny thing is, I’ve been wondering about that ever since I saw the first trailer. Sure, Depp is undoubtedly a very bankable star, but Bale just came out of the [...]

Good bye Jacko!

No musical artist captured the attention of the world quite like Michael. His incredible talent is unmatchable, much like his knack for sensationalism. Though not much of a fan myself, I do enjoy his music and his uber imaginative videos. May he finally rest in peace after all he’s been through. We mourn the King [...]

Flixchatter Review: The Taking of Pelham 123

Posted in Flix Reviews, tagged , , , , , , , on June 22, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I’ve heard several comments from people that I reveal too much plots in my review. I realize that especially with the Wolverine review, and I’ve  put a disclaimer above it to warn people of spoilers (sorry!) I’m still learning to improve my review-writing skills so please bear with me. Ok now, The Taking of Pelham [...]

Hollywood’s love affair with ‘swords & sandals’ flix

Clash of the Titans Remake – thrusting into theaters March 2010 I came across a pic of Gladiator-like Perseus wielding his sword the other day, and it piqued my interest. My hubby Ivan’s a big fan of the original movie with Harry Hamlin, which basically tells the classic Greek mythology of the hero Perseus who [...]

The beautiful, poignant chickflix nobody’s ever seen!

Posted in Flix Reviews, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on June 17, 2009 | 3 Comments »

RETURN TO ME I can’t remember exactly how I stumbled upon this one years ago, but I sure glad I did. Now I’m not a huge fan of chickflix in general, especially those with the quintessential formula of ‘boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back and [...]

Based on a book by Audrey Niffenegger,  it’s about an adverturesome librarian, Henry (Eric Bana) and his relationship with beautiful art student Clare (Rachel McAdams). Henry has a rare genetic anomaly that causes him [...]

FlixChatter Review: Wolverine

I realize I should’ve put a spoiler disclaimer on this from the start. Sorry to all of you readers who haven’t seen the movie, this ‘review’ is meant as a post-viewing discussion/observation. I’ll make sure to be clear on that in the future, and enhance my flix reviewing skills! Marvel and DC ought to thank [...]

Update on Burns

Posted in Flix News, Random Thoughts on June 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Just when I thought the project is smooth sailing, I learned that it’s back on the back-burner, again! According to The Scotsman, budget is still an issue. Even so, the future of the £5 million film, first mooted a decade ago, is unclear. Although Mob Films, the production company behind Burns: The Movie, has held [...]
