[Wintry] Weekend Roundup: House of Cards and All About Eve

Hello everyone! Happy post-BAFTA Monday, fellow film fans. I've only followed it somewhat via Twitter, seeing people's reactions on the winners. What's with the hate against ARGO, I think it deserved the Best Film and Best Director win for Ben Affleck. In fact, it's perhaps one of my favorite Best Picture contenders, but I remember …

FlixChatter Review: Steven Soderbergh’s Side Effects

This supposedly Steven Soderbergh's last feature film wasn't even on my radar, in fact I just saw the trailer the day of the screening a couple of weeks ago. I'm glad I didn't know anything about this movie and I think the less you read or watch about it the better. In fact, when I …

I watched the Superbowl for the trailers… specifically Star Trek Into Darkness & The Lone Ranger

I barely watched the Superbowl, maybe only for 5 minutes when the Baltimore Ravens' QB threw a 40+ yards touchdown pass. I've only watched the biggest sporting game show for the ads, and now that I've got a movie blog, for the movie trailers! The power outage cracked me out though, someone tweeted that he's …
