Mission Impossible took the top spot this Christmas weekend at the box office and left in it’s wake The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Is it a flop or just take two after the holiday cheer? Some are speculating it might be the serious content that left folks feeling cold to view it, or many just like family fun at the box office during the holidays. Who’s the say, the message is always in the numbers—box office numbers that is.

I’m interested in watching it, just for Daniel Craig and the lead actress Rooney Mara—along with the bisexual content that has followed the trilogy of books, and the interesting history about the creator Stieg Larson, who died of a heart attack before  his books were even published. I would recommend checking it out. How many times does the bi community get a bad arse as a leading character?  Continue reading »

Live Coverage Twilight Mania Kickoff

This might not be our bisexual love affair we have for Trueblood’s steaming bedroom and neck biting blood fest with Sookie, Eric and Bill, but as a bi girl, I will say, I’m all bi candy over Robert Pattinson (Team Edward) and Peter Facinelli (Team Carlisle). Yes I know, I’m one of those older women who just love to get lost for a few hours into dream land and go watch the latest film Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. Why? Carlisle! Don’t get me wrong, I started with a love crush on Edward, and he still holds it for me, but there’s something about Edwards dad Carlisle that is so sexy.

The last book of Breaking Dawn had more scenes with Calisle then in any book, and so this is my favor of all. Okay, I love the first book too, but this book has more interaction with Calisle and Edward. Will the movie? I’m hoping since it’s going to be cut into two parts. So sit back and watch the live coverage beginning on Entertainment Tonight Ustream—got to love new technology. Continue reading »

REVIEW: Zeitgeist

October 15, 2011 By

Is the Government manipulating our lives through Religion, War and the Banking System? A chilling picture is painted in "Zeitgeist." Image Credit: Listal

The concept of a government that lies to its people is not a new one.  Indeed, conspiracy theories run rampant through much of American History—though there is nothing more chilling than a conspiracy that backs its claims with facts and figures.  Told in three parts—Zeitgeist: The Movie sets out to paint a picture that will enlighten the viewer to their victimization and manipulation through the devices of Religion, War and the National Banking system and economy controlled by the super rich.  The question, though, is whether or not the viewers are ready to face this possibility.  This content is for members only.

REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (Spoilers)

July 15, 2011 By

It All Ends. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 brings to a close a fantasy icon.

The final curtain has fallen on “the boy who lived.” With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2—we say goodbye to Harry Potter and to Hogwarts. We also say goodbye to a legacy and a fantasy that has become a part of our collective culture and is as much a worldwide phenomena as a well crafted story. J.K. Rowling has delivered one of the most intricate sagas ever devised—presenting threads that intertwine literally years later—and its translation into film was inevitable.This content is for members only.

REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One

All things end. J.K. Rowling knew this of Harry Potter when she dreamed him into existence. Hollywood knew it when they adapted her books into films and–after the original and five successful sequels–found themselves several billion dollars richer. With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the end is indeed nigh—and everything about the story is permeated with a sense of finality.  Though some critics may see the studio’s decision to split the book into two films as a money making tactic, fans of the long running series seem to see it as a decision that shows respect to the series—perhaps that is why it is easy to see Deathly Hallows part 1 is a film that is made for the fans. The film doesn’t break new ground in the series and doesn’t cater to newcomers—it is indeed a film that makes no apologies for counting on the stalwart and steadfast to carry the film to its success.This content is for members only.

REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

In Hollywood or even the Entertainment industry as a whole, if something is successful, a follow up is almost guaranteed. When a musical artist cuts an album that is well received and makes money a follow up is certain. When a book achieves notoriety on the Best Seller’s lists—an author is commissioned to tell more of the story. Most notably—and perhaps most guaranteed—is a film that performs well in the box office having a sequel greenlit. What’s more, if the sequel is as successful—or more—than its original, then a franchise is born. A franchise is quite the understatement for the Harry Potter series. With a story that is epic in scope, told across seven books, a very successful movie series and plenty of merchandising, the word “phenomenon” might be more apt. Still, the industry is fickle and so one might wonder what could bring viewers to the cinema for the sixth installment of the series—Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.This content is for members only.

REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

July 7, 2011 By

Rarely is there a saga so intricate as Harry Potter. Sure, Star Wars is intricate and even Lord of the Rings is very in depth. In fact it could very easily be argued that without those two fantasy sagas Harry Potter could not be as successful as it has been. Author J.K. Rowling envisioned not only the world in which Wizards and Witches lived alongside Muggles but also the life of Harry Potter himself—and the lives of all of his teachers and friends. Fans of the Harry Potter series see this coming to fruition in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This content is for members only.

REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

July 1, 2011 By

There is a moment in the life of every young man where the innocence of youth is shed and he becomes a young man. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire tells the story of that journey for its titular hero—and gives the viewer of the film more of what they’ve been waiting for. Amidst the backdrop of a wizarding tournament Harry transitions fully from wooden protagonist to tragic hero—a transition that was begun in the series’ previous installment—Prisoner of Azkaban. Goblet of Fire also sees the return of Harry’s antithesis—Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).This content is for members only.

REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

June 29, 2011 By

What is arguably the greatest thing about the Harry Potter series—is that the stories grow along with the audience. The titular character Harry begins his adventures as a Wizard in training at the tender age of 11 and through the course of seven books and eight movies we see Harry progress at school as well as in life. Author J.K. Rowling did not patronize her readers by keeping the stories wholesome and innocent—the tone of the stories became darker and more adult—it would seem that in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hollywood took its cue from J.K. Rowling.This content is for members only.
