FlixChatter’s Most Anticipated 2011 Movies – Part I

This post has been in my draft folder for a while... originally I wanted to post right after award season is over. Now Oscar is already behind us for nearly a month (boy, I kinda forgot about it already), so I better not procrastinate any longer. This post will be divided into two parts, Part …

Rental Picks: Miller’s Crossing and Road to Perdition

I finally got around to seeing Miller's Crossing this past weekend, but instead of my usual Weekend Roundup, I decided to review another gangster movie that I've been wanting to do for quite a while.

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 …
