I’m growing sick of the sight of a small stack of dvd’s. They’re sitting in front of my TV and don’t seem like they’ll be going away anytime soon. This, my friends, is the ‘to-watch’ pile. At the moment, they are there for a bouillabaisse of reasons. Some are new purchases I haven’t watched yet.…
The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes
Pardon me while I take a small break from writing about the glut of movies I’ve recently seen in theatres and on dvd (three more to go before I’m caught up!). This morning I thought I’d give y’all a glimpse at my Valentine’s Day shennanigans. See, for quite a long time, Lady Hatter has been…
Remember the Time
Yesterday, Joel wrote a review of INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE. He didn’t seem to care for it too much, giving it a score of 2 out of 4. My first reaction when I read this was to call foul and/or scream “Blasphemy!”. I say this because growing up this was one of my favorite movies,…
Dark Was The (K)night

Blog-a-versary Edition of Everybody’s Talkin’ 8-20 (Chatter from Fellow Bloggers)
So tomorrow is my blog-a-versary. Another year, another 65 movies seen. Indeed for two straight years now I’ve been babbling away hear in my tidy corner of cyberspace, and I’m still humbled that a few dozen of you keep coming back to hear what I have to say. I say it jokingly sometimes, but I…
Don’t Let It Bring You Down (or Another TIFF Decision)
It’s funny the way things happen sometimes. Just two days ago, I wrote in this space about how I was slightly bummed by the fact that I’d be missing out on Toronto International Film Fest screenings this year, making it the first time in nine years I didn’t get to catch a flick. Well it…
