FilmFemme Fast Forward

I’m a busy lady.  If Super Bowl commercials are to be believed, I’m busy doing things like using my sex appeal to trap innocent horny men into unhappy relationships, but actually I just like to drink a lot and that takes up precious time — pre-partying, actual drinking, post-drinking carb binge — I just don’t [...]

The Marc Pease Experience

So my “blog every movie” experiment has so far encouraged me to…not watch movies.  But!  Last night I finally did.  I ventured to the “far” redbox at the Jons (with a J), which has a much better selection than the “near” redbox at Vons (with a V) because the clientele at Jons has tastes that [...]

Up in the Air

Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) travels a lot.  He flies all over the country telling people that they’ve been fired but it’s going to be OK.  He rarely sees his sisters and has no wife, children, girlfriend or dog.  He is happy that way.  UNTIL ONE DAY HE IS NOT. The movie opens with a series [...]

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Last week I had the pleasure of attending a screening of Wes Anderson’s newest foray into style and humor (most people call this a movie), Fantastic Mr. Fox.  I don’t normally use phrases like “I had the pleasure of..” but it really was a pleasure!  I don’t mean like the dirty, carnal pleasure I get [...]

Drunk Reviews: Up

I was just lamenting the other day that I really don’t get to do enough drunk blogging anymore because I don’t really have the internet at my house.  But really that just stops me from drunk *posting* not drunk blogging.  So, the original intent of the Drunk Reviews tag was to both watch and review [...]

Adventureland

I liked Jesse Eisenberg when I first saw him in Roger Dodger all those years ago — his pent up sexual energy oozing out among cougar sexpots Jennifer Beals and Elizabeth Berkeley.  I loved him in The Squid and the Whale – his arrogance hiding his pain and confusion, and still more pent up sexual energy.  [...]

Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist

Michael Cera plays a lovably baffled and recently heartbroken indie rock aficionado who, along with band of merry very gay boys meets Kat Dennings while on an unsupervised jaunt to Manhattan to track down their favorite band, “Where’s Fluffy?” They fall in love while trying to find her drunk friend (a charming and adorable  Ari Graynor) [...]

He’s Just Not That Into You

Firstly, can we please put the kibosh on the “America is Just That Into” and “We’re Just That Into” and “Harvey Weinstein’s Just Not That Into” headlines?  Please?  Pretty please?  I went to see He’s Just Not That Into You over the weekend.  It was pretty much against my will.  And it pretty much made me [...]

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

I struggled for a while, as to whether I should tag Paul Blart: Mall Cop with “comedy” or “horror.”  I won’t go in to the whys and hows that answer the way in which I ended up seeing this movie, suffice to say it has something to do with imitation Goldfish crackers, iPhone malfunctions and [...]

Armchair Marketing: He’s Just Not That Into You

I’ve discovered the secret to blogging more often: Write Less! The much delayed ensemble romantic comedy He’s Just Not That Into You, based on the book of the same name that has been dog-eared by cat-owning women across the world, is finally coming out February 6th.  The poster went online today.  Hmm…I wonder what this [...]
