C'mon Twi-Hards we've been through this once already!!!
Posted: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:19 by Grace. C
Ok so for the three people who read my blog you'll remember that when Twilight first came out at the movies it was like this rabid frenzy at my video store, every time I worked I had some 12 year old girl begging to hire the movie, before it had even left the cinemas yet!!!
Thankfully twi-mania calmed down a hell of a lot once the damn movie went into our recent release section, I was no longer bombarded with images of a pale sickly Eddie Cullen and sour looking Bella Swan. It was bliss. But o

I Want Science In My Science Fiction
Posted: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 11:04 by Michael Guillory
You’re probably thinking, “What do you mean? Isn’t that why it’s called Sci-Fi?”
Well, yes and no. The method in which science is woven into the storyline has much to do in determining to what degree true science plays a part in a movie. It may be what the film is all about or it could simply be a good excuse to make things go boom…with lasers. To some this may be irrelevant but it has a lot to do with my overall enjoyment of any movie branded as Science Fiction. To this end, I’ve found that S

Twilight Saga: The legal way to take advatage of little girls.
Posted: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:56 by Coca-cola
Okay, so it's a fact. You take advantage of little girls, you are either going to be called a pervert or a pedophile. Well, what if I was to tell you that there is a legal way to take advantage of little girls and get paid to do it at the same time? Oh, I know that you are saying that there's no way you can get paid to take advantage of little girls, but I tell you there is.
First step: Write a bland-but-safe book.
While this is difficult to do for talented writers, non-talented hacks that ar

Genre Films, with great unappreciated impact in modern filmmaking
Posted: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:35 by Rusty Shackelford
We all hear the influence of Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, Gone With the Wind many times before
But what of Genre films; such as Sci-Fi, Horror, Fantasy, and Action
These films are usually dismissed by film snobs. But these simple genre films may actually give much impact then most people realize. Asides from the well-known ones Star Wars, LOTR, T-2, George Romero's Zombies films, The Matrix, I would like to write about films that are not well known, or films that not much people

Armond White: Worst Critic Ever?
Posted: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:30 by RabidScotsman
Criticizing someone's opinion is something I rarely do. If someone disagrees with my opinion on a film for example, I listen to their reasons for why they didn't like it and if I think they are telling the truth, I am perfectly fine with it. Unfortunately, I will criticize and haze people like Armond White who lie about their feelings, seem arrogant, and come off as dishonest. Before I get to some of his pieces, here is a brief list of films he liked and didn't like.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (honest) Review
Posted: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:11 by James
I attended the midnight screening. Wow, wow, and wow there are some crazy fans. My friends may be one of them. It may have been that this film is so hyped up, or it may have been that i was with a bunch of excited people whose mood got to me, or it even may be that deep down i like the whole series, but man did i like this movie.
The movie starts off where the first one left off, Bella Swan and her immaculately perfect boyfriends Edward Cullen, who (everyone should know by now) is a vampire, a

My thoughts on the Twilight franchise...ALL of them
Posted: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:08 by Shinigami64
This issue was honestly behind me, but then I re-visited the movie (thanks Rifftrax, some movies DO have it comin’…) and with the release of the second film installment upon us (in much the same way that H1N1 is "upon us") it brought back all of the thoughts that plagued me before. I am not a fan of this franchise, and there's no way anyone could mistake me for one especially if you’ve talked to me or read my review of the first movie. But there are a few things that generally irk the shit out
