Coraline delights and thrills
Posted by: transwriter on: August 19, 2009
I know I’m a bit late for a review of a DVD that released July 21, but I just watched this adorable movie the night before last – no pun intended.
This is now my second movie review on a Neil Gaimen adaptation in which I have not read the original source! (See the Stardust post.) I think it’s about [...]
I read Twilight.

Like the thousands of other people. My friend to the left of my cubicle at work is reading it. My other friend to the right of my cubicle has read and owns all four books.
I finished it last Friday night and saw the movie Sunday. And I still keep wondering why, exactly, it’s such a [...]
I saw a movie for free.

THE SPIRIT is “just damn plain weird” like a little man’s head connected to the top of a foot hopping around under a mad scientist’s experimenting table. If you’ve seen the movie, you understand me. I liked the film, but I really don’t know what it was about.

Film Reviews

This weekend I had the chance to view a couple movies in my free time, which was well-welcomed to my husband and I after our work week.

I noticed [...]
‘House Bunny’ isn’t a dust bunny, don’t sweep away
Posted by: transwriter on: September 11, 2008
I would have normally written off a movie like THE HOUSE BUNNY, even though it’s produced by Adam Sandler’s production company, Happy Madison, and from the cutesy writers who brought us Legally Blonde. I guess I’m just not initially attracted to many comedic or seemingly shallow films. But it’s actually really good and funny. And [...]
MARTIAN CHILD – story from Mars?
Posted by: transwriter on: December 22, 2007
No, it’s not. Not far-fetched. Not “out there.” It’s a tale from the heart. And of the heart.
Of how to love a child (or anyone) who doesn’t “fit in.” Of identity – who you think you are, who others want you to be. Of a strange little boy who thinks he’s from Mars and [...]
More than Stardust – Yes, 5 Stars for sure!

Having never read Neil Gaiman’s young adult fantasy novel, Stardust, this review of the film adaptation will have nothing to do with how the movie compared to the book itself. However, I felt that seeing the movie created the same sort of feeling you get from reading a book of its nature: enchantment.
