Or Pirate Radio as it’s being called in the US.
I do love me a good Richard Curtis film, and I am looking forward to finally seeing this in two weeks.
It’s interesting to see the difference in trailers for this movie. If you have a minute view the UK, American and International trailers. Here is the [...]

the boat that rocked
October 16, 2009
it’s going to be a place where only the things you want to happen, would happen.
I went to see Where The Wild Things Are tonight.
Quite enjoyable, may have even shed a tear or two at the end. Who can resist a group howl?
It was like a bowl of nostalgia, spilled…
I will be humming the soundtrack for the rest of the weekend, I am sure. Here are two songs off the [...]

corn is the devil
Is what my friend Mel jokingly yelled at the market on Friday night, her thoughts after being told to watch the documentary King of Corn by the Boy.
Fast forward to last night, we’re sitting down at the cinema to watch The Informant! the latest Soderbergh film. I hadn’t even seen a trailer, so I knew [...]

if you gotta ask, your not
Having done this road trip myself, this film really hit home.
Especially the nomadic-where-is-my-life-going questioning.
Given the subject matter (this film is not just about a road trip), and what is going on in my life currently, perhaps not the best choice. However, I think my subconscious was trying to tell me something, and it must have [...]

long weekends rule all
I know I’m a week behind everyone else, but I how awesome was Star Trek?
I purposely did not read any spoilers so it was great to see certain actors pop in and out of the film. I’ve loved J.J. Abrams since Felicity, and wow did he ever not disappoint. I can’t wait to go again.
What [...]

ships are launching from my chest, some have names but most do not. if you find one, please let me know what piece i’ve lost
ever shed a single tear and let it roll down your face and neck, until finally its absorbed into some kind of clothing.
i was listening to sinead o’connor this afternoon and shed a few tears for no reason. maybe its the tiredness setting in.
sometimes i feel like my life is a series of jump cuts. [...]

less is more
I like when art shows you a little, but not everything, but that in itself is sort of everything.
For me in a good film there is usually one scene that is so subtle, it causes me to double take. Be it for its dialogue, editing or lighting, etc.
This evening I watched RocknRolla, and during the [...]

will depress you.
i made bread pudding for the first time ever (whole wheat and white bread, apples, cinnamon, eggs, raisins, sugar) and it did not depress me.
so good. really. so good.
best and worst parts of your day?

final answer
This film made me miss being a film student, in class.
So many things to discuss, especially the use of music. Have you seen it, thoughts?
Next on my list Revolutionary Road.
Oh, and I have a post brewing about this show, you may have heard about it, called Lost.
Stay tuned.

the art of a trailer
I cannot recall what class it was in, but sometime throughout my film and media studies we discussed “the art of making a trailer.”
In some cases its what you base seeing a picture on, right?
Now there are different trailers for different countries, of course. One has to cater to the market. So I was intrigued [...]
