1. LES BIEN AMIES (BELOVED) My favorite film of 2012 was an easy choice. I would probably have told you this was my favorite before the year began, since I’ve been waiting for it for ages, and it is by my favorite director Christophe Honore. It’s a French musical, which sounds whimsical, but this film [...]

2012 over already?! How did this happen! And shows on hiatus again? That doesn’t seem fair, I was JUST celebrating their Fall return, and congratulating myself for not dying over a rerun-only summer. But here we are, with amazing shows on every channel, and as we begin to say goodbye to the greatest comedy of [...]

The Best 10. HOMELAND This show should be much higher on my list, after a knock out first season that earned many awards and caused me much anxiety. The current season , however, has turned it from one of my most recommended shows to one of my most polarizing shows. But even though lately this [...]

Putting together a top ten list wasn’t easy. There are so many films I want to include but can’t, and yet I’ll still give the few that didn’t quite make the cut honorable mention at the bottom of this page. 2011 has been a fantastic year for film, and while I look at this list [...]

It’s that time of the year again! Time to take stock of what Hollywood has given us all year and celebrate the films we think were a rousing success. So far you’ve been treated to Kate, Allison, and Tess’ best movies of 2011 lists and hopefully you read my five worst films of 2011 list [...]

1. BRIDESMAIDS               What can be said that hasn’t been said before? This is a great comedy film. It’s not a great WOMAN comedy film, it’s great because the people in it are great. It might not be the most hilarious movie ever made, and it certainly has it [...]

  10) FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS While the exemplary acting and writing are what makes this show great- maybe one of the best, it’s the characters that made the last season such a joy. Through five seasons we loved the Taylors and the people that populate their lives and seeing them go in such a beautiful [...]

Now that I have looked over the music in the films of 2011, it is time to turn attention to the films themselves. And yes, these lists are different since movies can certainly have fantastic music (the TWILIGHT franchise proves this year after year) while the films themselves are not always the best (I’ll never [...]

As the classic FACTS OF LIFE theme song says, “You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of life.” We here at ReelVixen aren’t ones to dwell on or give any air to negativity. Generally, we fancy ourselves above all that. That said, with all [...]

It is the time of year when we look back at all the movies that came out in 2011 and I hone in on their accompanying soundtracks and scores to highlight my top picks of the year. It’s been quite the year in film and the various scores and soundtracks that have created their various [...]
