A note from our Publisher & Founder I always really loved watching movies. Reading was fun and don’t get me wrong, I am a librarian, read your books, eat your peas, look both ways before blah blah blah and all that stuff.It was film, though, that always really captured me. More like held me hostage, really. This way to disappear into never never land, to feel true joy and the excitement of an adventure, to stare face to face with...
The Spotlight: Badass Women, The Best of The Best
I’m a big fan of movies where ladies kill dudes–who isn’t, amiright? Superb action heroes come in many forms, and thus, not always in the form of a man. Get ready for a fun ride down memory lane with me and a few legends. Take a hike, Angelina; no room for you on this list, Beckinsale; sorry Gal Gadot, you’ve got a ways to go. I’m talking the BEST OF THE BEST. Hold onto your seats, people. Meet my top five...
The Spotlight: Romantic Time Travel Movies
To balance out my love of disturbing movies, I like to partake in a few romantic comedies from time to time. Anyone who knows me knows I am a sucker for time travel movies, so when the two come together, it is irresistible. I was recently convinced to read a book just by the sentence, “It’s like Sliding Doors meets a Choose Your Own Adventure novel.” Can you guess the book? Why time travel romantic comedies? I love...
Saawariya
“When someone reads a book, I will miss you. When someone sneezes, I will miss you. When someone laughs while he cries and cries while he laughs, I will miss you.” 2007. 138 minutes. Rated PG. I am not at all up on my Russian authors. I didn’t know what a palanquin was until I Googled it. I’ve only seen two other Bollywood movies–Monsoon Wedding and Bride and Prejudice (“Slumdog Millionaire doesn’t count,” says my friend...
The Spotlight: Vito Corleone
Vito Corleone is a role that has been portrayed in film twice, by different actors. They both won Oscars, and each would be a showing that would define the raw essence of acting. How to even talk about such a game changing character over the course of film is simply daunting. I am going to do my best. Vito Corleone, better known as The Godfather, is the main character in the first of the trilogy of famous films about the cosa nostra...
The Bourne Identity
2002. 119 minutes. Rated PG-13. Quote: “Great police work, really brilliant! Why don’t they just put up a sign that says “Don’t come back!” For a long time I’ve been attacking Matt Damon and saying how much I think he sucks and has changed. I don’t often give any reasons though, and friends get frustrated and disagree with me saying things like “that’s ridiculous, it’s...
