State of the Blog

I know no one is going to stand up and clap for me and there aren’t any Supreme Court Justices to tell me I’ve got my facts wrong, but that’s OK because I think I’ve got my facts right:
My blogging habits stink.  I don’t blog.  I start posts and never finish them.  I see tons [...]

A Better Way to Review Films

Well, it seems like I’ve been wasting my time. All along I should have been using The Dictionary Test to rate movies. Not sure how this translates to female anatomy, but I’m willing to run some tests.

FilmFemme’s 2009 Oscar Picks (now with winners!)

I know you’re having an Oscar party, so don’t forget your printable pdf ballot.
It’s funny, last year I probably saw more movies at the theatre than in any other year of my life.  For only the second time in my life (the first time being last year), I’ve see all of the Best Picture nominees [...]

FilmFemme’s 2009 Golden Globe Predictions (now with Winners!)

Prediction #1: I will not watch the Golden Globes and instead spend tomorrow morning reading recaps and looking at fashion photo galleries online instead of doing work.
Apart from that, here are my other predictions, keeping in mind that I haven’t actually seen all the nominees….actually, I don’t think that is an important part of predicting [...]

Paul Newman

With the passing of 83 year old movie legend Paul Newman yesterday at his home in Westport, Connecticut, plenty will be said about his storied career, long and successful marriage, foray into charitable salad dressings and pasta sauces, irreverent and self-deprecating humor, piercing blue eyes and iconic roles like Butch Cassidy and Cool Hand Luke.  [...]

Newsflash: The movie business is a huge clusterfuck

and I can’t decide how to feel about that:

(1) Elation? Michael Cera in a movie directed by Edgar Wright in which “a young slacker [...]meets the woman of his dreams but finds that he can only win her heart by battling and defeating her seven evil ex-boyfriends. ” Oh yes, tell me more, Hollywood Reporter!
(2) [...]

SXSW

Don’t get too excited, I didn’t go there. Maybe next year. But I was just reading about it in this LA Times article, with the oh-so-clever headline “Like its well-fed folks, the Austin, Texas, gathering is swelling” (aren’t there too many commas in there?).
I wanted to go to SXSW (I don’t get a [...]

Off Topical: Obaminable

from the LA Times:
Sen. Barack Obama accused rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton today of attempting to “hoodwink” and “bamboozle” voters into thinking she was the front-runner by offering him the second slot on her ticket.
from yours truly:

 Hoodwinked?

Bamboozled?

Heath Ledger

When I was 15, I thought it would be cool to be a film snob. It’s hard to be a 15 year old girl and be a snob about anything – if you want to have any friends, which I did want. Actually, I needed friends, because I couldn’t drive yet and didn’t want to [...]
