Weekend Roundup: Oz The Great and Powerful review

It's the last week of March already, but Spring is arriving VERY s-l-o-w-l-y here in Minnesota. By around the same time last year, we're already in mid 60s, I think some people were wearing shorts on St. Patrick's Day? This year, I'd be thrilled to see mid 40s by next weekend! I did see a …

FlixChatter Review: Olympus Has Fallen

I was wondering the other day if it's possible to find a review of this movie that does not mention the words Die Hard. Seems that the comparison is inevitable and it seems that Olympus Has Fallen is begging for a comparison. In fact, perhaps it's an homage to that action franchise, as it's more …

Weekend Roundup: The Intouchables Review

Happy Tuesday! Hope y'all had a great St. Patrick's Day weekend. Did you see any Irish film? I was thinking of watching Leap Year which takes place in Ireland after seeing Matthew Goode in Stoker, but maybe next time. Well, it ends up being a foreign-cinema weekend for me with two excellent films from France …

FlixChatter Review: Stoker

Though this film was not on my radar until a few months ago, I was quite intrigued when I first saw the trailer. If you haven't seen this yet though, I'd say stay away from the latest trailer. As you've perhaps read my Asian directors post, this is Chan-Wook Park's English language debut. It's not …

Weekend Roundup: Wreck-It-Ralph & catching up on Downton Abbey

Happy Monday all! Well, it's not quite Spring yet at least not weather wise, even though we've sprung forward one hour. That also means we lost one hour this weekend 😦 Downright addicted to Downton Abbey I've only managed to see one movie this weekend, as I've been catching up on Downton Abbey. I've even …

Weekend Roundup: Holy Motors and Mrs Brown

Happy Monday everyone! Hope y'all had a nice weekend. Still can't believe two months have come and gone in 2013. Well, because of the press screenings that usually take place on weekends, I don't go to the cinema on weekends. Here are my mini reviews of the two movies I saw: Holy Motors (2012) I …

FlixChatter Review: Jack the Giant Slayer

I've actually never seen any Jack and the Beanstalk movie before, but of course I'm familiar with this bedtime story. I was curious enough about this one given that it's directed by Bryan Singer. It starts unpredictably enough, with Jack's father reading him a bedtime story and of course Jack always believed it's not just …
