There are very few cinematic characters that are so beloved by the movie going public that both the actors and the audience would ever think of returning to – not just once, but twice! However, writer-director Richard Linklater has done it with American romanticist Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and French realist Celine (Julie Delpy). We fell in love with them [...]

You know that feeling when filmmakers tell you something you know isn’t true? It’s called being sold a false bill of goods. We all went through that feeling last Summer when we were told by Ridley Scott that PROMETHEUS wasn’t an ALIEN prequel (it is). And I have a feeling that in a few weeks [...]

Pst! I have some excellent news to share. The highly anticipated and addictive series BREAKING BAD returns on Sunday, August 11th for its final eight episodes. AMC also announced they will spin off their successful TALKING DEAD aftershow with a BREAKING BAD themed one, titled, originally, TALKING BAD. Can’t you all feel Andy Cohen’s smug [...]

From a wee young lass in eighth grade up to a present day thirty-six-year-old, I’ve had a massive crush on iconic American hero John McClane. After all, he’s the modern equivalent of the fairy tale [...]

Love can make people do funny things. It can heal old wounds and it can change a person – for good and bad. But what of you’re a corpse? What can love do for you? Can you even feel love, or anything at all for that matter? Such is the premise for writer-director Jonathan Levine’s [...]

Seriously, TWILIGHT is the only canon out there which provides fodder for fanfic? What HAVE I been missing? Here is news about the latest fanfic reworked into erotic fiction. THE OFFICE, no, not the office on television in its last season, but what looks like an erotic twist on a Harlequin Presents: young intern / [...]

Hey I don’t know about you, but I never cared for STAR TREK until J.J. Abrams got his nerdy little paws on the franchise in 2009. His reboot ruffled many feathers amongst STAR TREK purists, yet it still went on to be one of the highest-grossing films of that year. Clearly, I wasn’t the only [...]
