Film Gurl

Since I am a fan of the franchise, I was really looking forward to this film. Being that it came out around Halloween season, it really put me in the spirit of things. Before I go into the review, I will warn you – what you see in the trailer is not at all a true depiction of what you see in the film. Many have been disappointed as there were some parts in the trailer that I had been anticipating while watching the movie. It has been argued that the trailer was a bit misleading due to this Read more [...]

“If fashion is a religion, VOGUE is the Bible.” – The September Issue Since I enjoyed the last documentary I saw on the subject of fashion, I decided to check this one out as well. And, let me tell you – it was definitely an interesting and thought provoking film. Basically, this movie takes you behind the scenes (as did the last one I reviewed) of the fashion world. Though, this time – from the viewpoint of one of the most powerful women in fashion, Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief Read more [...]

When I first saw the trailer to this film, I thought it was going to be an action based kind of film full of car chases and gun robbers. Though, I do have to admit – it didn’t look like something I wanted to rush over and see at the theatre. However, based on the positive reviews – I decided to go and check it out. Let me just say, I think the trailer did a very good job of explaining the plot and getting the interest of movie goers. It did look like a typical action film with an interesting Read more [...]

When I first saw the trailer to this film, it definitely looked entertaining. I’ve always enjoyed watching Steve Carell, whether it be on film or television. Though, I was a bit unsure if this was a movie I should wait to go on DVD. Yet after much debate (as well as reading a lot of positive reviews), I decided to check it out and hit the theatre. I’m glad I did! Before I get into the review, I will say my hesitation to see this movie was due to the trailer – it looked like it may be a film Read more [...]

“Change begins with a whisper.” -The Help I recently saw this movie based on this book. And, let me tell you – it was definitely worth it. When I first saw the trailer to this film, it really looked like a fun type of movie to watch. But, at the same time – it also looked like a film with an important message. Even more so, it was a period piece which serves a special place in my heart. So, I decided to check it out. I’m glad I did! Before I go on, I just have to give a small warning. Read more [...]

Ok, I have to admit – this film was not at the top of my list of movies to watch. When I first saw the trailer, I didn’t know what to think. And, when I actually went out and saw the movie – I had the same reaction, I didn’t know what to think either! Let me just warn you, this film is not linear – it does not tell the story in a sequential order. The way the story is told is in bits and pieces, from past to present and from present to past. In a way, there’s a lot of back and forth – shifting Read more [...]

When I first saw the trailer to this movie, I was kind of up in the air about it. Sure, it looked funny. But, I just wasn’t sure if it was something I’d go out and see – it seemed a little “raunchy.” Though, I was in search for a comedy type movie to watch one weekend. And, this was one of the few that was out. So, I started to read the reviews (one being from my film blogging pal ReelTalker). To my surprise, they were actually positive. So, I decided to check it out – I’m glad I did. From Read more [...]

Now, I have to admit – this film was not really on my radar even when I saw the trailer. Honestly, I have not really enjoyed much of Woody Allen’s work in the past. So, I really didn’t think anything of it when it first came out. Though, it wasn’t until I started reading reviews about the movie that got me interested. And, to my surprise – many of the reviews were positive. So, I decided to check it out – I’m glad I did. This film is a bit of a comedy and drama type of movie rolled into Read more [...]

For a very long time, I had been hearing talk about this film. And, let me just say – it’s one of those movies I had been really looking forward to seeing this summer. Not only was the film directed by J.J. Abrams, but it was also produced by Steven Spielberg. Putting these two minds together for the movie, I had a feeling I was in for a treat. And, I was right. Before I go on, let me just say – this is not a film for everyone. To be fair, this is a movie by filmmakers geared towards filmmakers Read more [...]

When I first saw the trailer to this film, I knew it was a movie I wanted to see. It seemed very entertaining and fun to watch. And, when I read my film blogging pal ReelTalker’s review – it just confirmed it. Let me just say, this movie did not disappoint. From the very beginning, this film was all about the laughs. And, let me tell you – I laughed a lot. (Note: For those of you who have seen the film, you’ll know what I’m talking about). Both the cast and the script were brilliantly Read more [...]
