Just Another Fairy Tale? K-Stew in the New Snow White

Posted on 29. May, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Abby Lee Hood

Oh Twilight, crusader of vampire novels, waster of teenage girls’ time, and hotspot in the box office (like it or not). Twilight may or may not be your favorite series, but it’s certainly been a jumping point for many talents; the stars of the movies are all over magazines, TV, gossip rags, and most of all, have been using that fame to make other movies. K-Stew has been in the Joan Jett epic, and Taylor Lautner starred in the thriller Abducted.Read More »

Late to the Party: A Real Review of Avengers

Posted on 23. May, 2012 by Leo Pond in category of Movies, avengers, Leo Pond, movies, reviews

 

I hate to admit it, I almost never go to the movie theater.  The last movie I saw at the theater was J.J.'s Star Trek, which was fantastic!  With long hours at work and so many other mediums of entertainment I can see, I often wonder how can the average person go to the movies on a regular basis.Read More »

Posted on 16. May, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Abby Lee Hood

 

This summer, we have lots of good movies to look forward to: The Expendables 2, Battleship, and more; besides the action-packed blockbusters, a new cartoon or animated film is released, and this summer’s most anticipated one is Disney/Pixar’s Brave, the story of Merida, a young girl of royal upbringing living in the Scottish Highlands. Follow her story as she learns who she really is, and how much family really matters.Read More »

Avengers, Assemble! Which Avenger Are You?

Posted on 14. May, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Abby Lee Hood

 

I recently did an article on the new movie The Avengers. If you haven’t seen the movie, read it to catch yourself up! If you are a fan, you already know who the main characters are: Iron Man, Black Widow, the Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and Hawkeye. They make up a superhero/super-assassin team known as the Avengers, the best crime fighting collaboration the world has ever seen.Read More »

Afraid of the Dark? New Vampire Flick Features Johnny Depp

Posted on 14. May, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Abby Lee Hood

 

The vampire culture has really taken over lately, but you already knew that. You’ve probably read Twilight, Nightshade, or one of the hundred other vampire flicks circulating right now. You may have even watched a movie or two. If you have, you know that some of this genre is most decidedly better than others (though we won’t name any names), and now, another film is joining the fray – Dark Shadows, starring Johnny Depp, and directed by the always-talented Tim Burton.Read More »

Want To See Tom Cruise Shirtless? Me Either

Posted on 07. May, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Audra Rundle

Okay, first it was Kelsey Grammar and his embarrassing (well, I was embarrassed for him) hip tattoo, and now it’s Tom Cruise donning guy liner and painted-on abs pretending to be a rock star. Why are Hollywood’s aging stars all going through identity crises at the same time? I would suggest “mid-life crisis,” but unless they live into their hundreds, that is not the case.Read More »

Avenged: The Avengers Review

Posted on 07. May, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Abby Lee Hood

If you haven't seen The Avengers yet, you're living under a rock. Okay, maybe that's a little harsh, but the movie made over $200 million in its opening weekend, so there have been loads of fans clogging up the theaters. If you're not one of them, I feel sorry for you. This is a movie for action fans, nerds, and active moviegoers alike. As a girl, I guess it's a little bit surprising that I love comic books and the like so much, but if anything, that should show you how wide the appeal for The Avengers is.Read More »

Lights, Camera, and Action

Posted on 04. May, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies

Grab a bag of popcorn, or maybe three, because 2012 is going to be full of great movies. We always hear about the box office's numbers and what's going to be big this summer, but this year, a wide array of films will be hitting the big screen. Here's a list of what you need to see.

1. The Avengers – This flick debuts May 4, 2012. It's about a group of superheroes coming together to save the world. Some of the Transformers guys are helping film this one, and it features all of our superhero icons: Iron Man, the Hulk, and more! Read More »

Movie Review: Bully

Posted on 17. Apr, 2012 by traceyv in category of Movies, Tracey Vest

I went to see Bully on Sunday with a friend and her 13-year-old. This movie has been on my “movies to see” list for a while, but lately my trips to the silver screen have not been as frequent as I would like, so I consider myself lucky to be hanging out with my friend on the day she “insisted” on taking her tween. I thought there might be people standing up and clapping when the film was over, but I think everyone was wiping their eyes and gathering up their tissues. I know I was.Read More »

The Perks of So Much Buzz

Posted on 09. Apr, 2012 by stylequirk in category of Movies

Not everyone is privy to the title The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but those who are can be fierce about their obsession with it. Bring it up in the right room, and you’ll feel as though you brought up something as monumental as The Hunger Games or the Twilight saga. If you’re on the outside looking in, it’s the title of an upcoming movie based on a book of the same title that was released in the early 2000s. It will star Nina Dobrev, Paul Rudd, Emma Watson, Dylan McDermott, and Kate Walsh.Read More »
