Weekend Roundup: Five Minutes of Heaven and JJ Abram’s Star Trek

I hope y'all had a lovely and storm-free (weather or otherwise) weekend. Boy, the weather's been strange this weekend, it couldn't decide whether it wants to be rainy or sunny, so it alternated back and forth practically every half an hour! There's even some strong storms hitting our neck of the woods, even a tornado …

Weekend Roundup: Never Let Me Go review

Welcome to May, everybody. For having endured a pretty cold and snowy Winter, I'm certainly glad Spring has arrived and Summer is upon us! I was fortunate enough to watch not one but two excellent sci-fi movies this weekend, a genre I like especially if it's the thought-provoking kind. And both Never Let Me Go …

Weekend Roundup: Local Film Festival News & Movies I watched

It was quite a busy weekend I just had, dampened a bit by a coating of snow on the ground Saturday morning. Our local weatherman Paul Douglas aptly called it groan-worthy, and we now have a Winter alert with possible 3-5 inches of snow in the next 36 hours! Heh, so much for Spring 😦 …

Weekend Roundup: HANNA review

I finally venture out into the theater after about a month of a lot of home cinema viewing. All the great reviews on HANNA got me really curious to check it out on opening weekend. It wasn't powerful enough to defeat HOP in the box office, but managed to finish second with $12.4 million, which …

Weekend Viewing Roundup: The Adjustment Bureau and North by Northwest

This weekend cinema-viewing choices came down to Rango and Adjustment Bureau, which trailer was quite intriguing. In the end my hubby and I went with the latter, even though Rango won the weekend box office just as I predicted in Scarlet Sp1der's poll last Tuesday. It seems that the viewing theme this weekend is men …

Weekend Viewing Roundup: The Happening, This Is It, The Matrix

It's quite an eclectic weekend, movie viewing-wise. Friday night we saw The Happening and This Is It back to back and The Matrix just an hour before the Oscars begun. Why these three, you asked? Well, if you must know, after seeing Unbreakable, arguably M. Night Shyamalan's best work, my husband and I got curious …
