Labor Day Weekend Roundup: Kick-Ass, Expendables, Purple Rose of Cairo

Happy Wednesday, folks! Hope your weekend was a good one. Well, mine was hectic to say the least, part of the weekend I was working on my fantasy movie pitch, speaking of which, have you read it yet? Well, Clooney is box office king this weekend with The American. I didn't see it though, I …

FlixChatter Review: The Other Guys

It's a super hot Saturday afternoon and all I wanted to do was cool off in a movie theater and watch a Summer popcorn flick! I saw the trailer when I posted it on the Mark Wahlberg's spotlight post and I found it pretty funny. Well, I'm happy to report that the movie lived up …

Random Thoughts: Musings on Robert Pattinson in Remember Me

This movie's been on my radar for a while, as my colleague and long-time FC supporter Mike B. gave such a good review of it last April. I'm not going to review this again, except to say that it had that 'whoa' kind of ending. Though I sort of already knew the main character's 'fate,' the …

Rental Pick: Cinema Paradiso (1988)

I saw Cinema Paradiso a few months ago during our monthly gals' movie night, but I haven't had a chance to write a review on it. Since I just watched Nine recently, which shares a 'cinema italiano' theme, why not do the review back-to-back? (The Nine review will be up tomorrow.) While the theme and …

FlixChatter Review: The A-Team

I originally wanted to post this as my weekend roundup, but haven't got around to finishing it. Anyway, last weekend was a busy one but I managed to watch two movies that couldn't be more different from each other: the action-packed The A-Team and Rob Marshall's musical NINE (review forthcoming). Well in a way they …
