TGIF and Happy last-day-of-the-month, everyone! Instead of the usual scene spotlight, I thought I'd highlight a movie-related art form that often goes unnoticed: the title sequence. For me, watching a movie title sequence is almost as fun as seeing a movie trailer. Many of them simply list the credit, but the great ones not only …

DVD Picks: Slumdog Millionaire & August Rush
I wrote these reviews before I decided on the Britastic blog series, but they work just fine because they're both British-related. Slumdog Millionaire is directed by talented British director Danny Boyle, and Freddie Highmore who plays the title role in August Rush was born in London.

Via Twitter, the prolific Twitterer Simon Pegg wrote this last February: Due to an extensive post production schedule you won’t be seeing our little desert caper any time soon. Rest assured it …
Friday Guilty Pleasure Flix: The Saint
TGIF! Time for another guilty pleasure post! I usually just pick one at random, and that's how this one comes to mind. My hubby and I don't have an extensive dvd collection, but we actually own this movie as we both enjoy it a lot. He describes it as part James Bond, part McGyver, with …
The Art of Movie Posters
I was taking a break from blogging and just browsing randomly last night, and I came across this site that gives out International movie awards annually. It's called IMP Awards which stands for Internet Movie Poster. How cool is that? I didn't even know this existed, I kind of found this out the same way …
