Side Effects – My Review of a Riled-Up Rooney Mara

First off, has anyone seen this yet? Out today! I got the sneak peek a few weeks ago and can’t deny that this was a breath of fresh, corrupted air in the midst of the Oscar run. A sneaky submission into the most popular film days at the theatre, I almost cashed out because it … Continue reading

What’s Happening at Our House…

It’s time we all admit it – The days of girl’s nights with wine, cheese and homemade dips are over. Pajamas or not, this occasion just doesn’t exist anymore. But it is certainly not because we’re not still watching it. (Please). And it’s not because we’re not hosting the get togethers. Attention world, it’s because … Continue reading

Screen Actor’s Guild Awards Wardrobe Report

One question, why is tea length acceptable again?                     Does a stylist not take measurements first?                     My pick’s for the night.

Beasts of the Southern Wild – Life on the other side of the levee

I talked Mike into watching a movie the other night. Now, that may seem unusual to those of you who know Mike pretty much watches movies 99.9% of his free time, but let me revise the statement by specifying that it was an Oscar nom. That fact and the realization that he’d heard nothing about … Continue reading

Lincoln – A Movie About Our Country’s Greatest Leader

I realize that’s a powerful statement to lead with, but honestly fans, it sums up the way I feel after having seen this movie. In fact, I’m not even going to build up the justification behind my review first. I’m going to lead with the fact that I really, really, really loved this movie. Okay, … Continue reading

Les Miserables – My review (finally)

Well, it took me a little while you guys. I saw this a couple of weeks ago at a quaint dinner theatre in Brookhaven. I loved it. I thought it was a little long, but epic all the same. It was filled with moments of pain, anguish and heartache that truly gripped me to the … Continue reading

Django Unchained – Movie Review

Ohhh, Quentin, Quentin, Quentin. Let’s be frank – this is not a film for the faint of heart or stomach, or spirit even, for that matter. This is a rough, tough, gory, (funny), controversial film about the ways and woes of slavery in MIssissippi before the Civil War. The story is that of Django ( … Continue reading

The Oscar Nomination break-down

So, they’re out. They’ve been out for awhile, so I apologize for being so behind on a review of my thoughts and predictions. I haven’t seen half the ballot yet, so look out for updates as we get closer to the beloved Sunday night. And don’t worry, you don’t have to buy nearly as many … Continue reading

Chicken Parmesan Perfection: The way to my man’s heart

Okay, I’m going to be honest. I really hate canned clam sauce. Mike loves it. I tried it and didn’t like it. I made it once, from scratch and it was pretty good. So, I’ll never go back to the can. I just won’t. Well, I left Mike in charge of going to the grocery … Continue reading

Amour – Movie Review

You can see what I told the public eye here: Insite Atlanta’s Winter Issue Reading this, it really seems like I hated it. And I did, that’s not lie. But the truth of the matter is that I hated the story. It’s too hard to watch if you know anyone elderly. Or, just anyone suffering … Continue reading
