Nerdy Cinema: THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE »
Our good friends over at Big Fan Boy originally published this review. Go check out their site, because they are awesome! As I’m just now getting my hearing back and my heart has finally stopped racing, I guess it is as good of a time as any to nail down my thoughts on the newest TWILIGHT SAGA movie. It may be too ambitious for me to jump
Trailer Time: KANE »
The good people at Singletree Productions make some hilarious films. I had the chance to meet Mark Potts and Brand Rackley during their stay in Dallas for the 2010 Dallas International Film Festival where they were showing their hairy short FOLLICLE FROLIC. For all my fellow hair lovers, it's pretty sweet. However, the highlight of my time with
Nerdy Cinema: Sex and the City 2 »
I’m going to say something that 90% of women my age always say: “I grew up watching ‘Sex and the City.’” It’s not a shocking or even an informative statement, it’s as expected as saying “I drink coffee” or “yes, one day I would like to get married.” The show is a part of our consciousness as women, and therefore it’s a part
Nerdy Cinema: SHREK FOREVER AFTER »
Those cool kids over at Gordon and the Whale asked me to guest write a review this week. With their permission I'm also re-posting it here. Check out their site, they are pretty much all that's great in this world. The last few weeks have ushered in the season of summer blockbusters. First we had the record-breaking opening of IRON MAN 2, then
Nerdy Cinema: NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET »
This morning, pre-coffee, I found myself reflecting on the week’s highly anticipated remake of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. Having had a little trouble falling asleep last night, a combination of movie candy induced tummy aches and maybe some minute irrational fear of what lay in my dreams, I had lots of time to piece together my thoughts. And my
PHOTOS: Opening Night DALLAS International Film »
Hey all! We had a blast at the Opening Night for the 2010 DALLAS International Film Festival. I'm running around today, but I wanted to make sure to share a few of the highlight moments with all of you! Below are some pictures from the Red Carpet and the Opening Night Party. Kinda makes you feel like you're there, huh? Oh, and there was a
DALLAS International Film Festival: Day 0.5 »
The DALLAS International Film Festival launches this evening with multiple film screenings and a set of after parties any drunk would drool over. This year’s festival plans to feature over 150 film screenings and parties each evening celebrating everything awesome in this world—movies, celebrities, and debauchery. DIFF is an event I hold dear
Why, Zach Galifianakis, Why? »
Saturday Night Live this weekend had the opportunity of a lifetime as beard-tastic host Zach Galifianakis took over hosting duties. He is exceptionally funny, as you undoubtedly already know if you are reading this, and his beard is something I want around 24/7. Unfortunately he blatantly chose to ignore my (and my fellow beardophiles')
UPDATE on Missing Sweet Briar College Professor »
2/17/09 UPDATE: This video aired on Lynchburg news last night. 2/16/09 UPDATE: I just found this news article on the Sweet Briar College website. No new information. Campus Community Prays for Colleague’s Safe Return. ***** I've read on fellow SBC alumnae Washington Bella's site that reports are going around the college
Sweet Briar College English Professor, Eleanor »
This is more of a personal and serious post. My favorite and most influential professor from college, Eleanor Salotto, has been missing since Thursday (2/11). She was last seen in Lynchburg, VA wearing a lavender baseball cap, lavender sweater with a red shirt underneath, black pants, and tennis shoes. Eleanor Salotto was one of my Film Studies
