For My Sister: Twilight Eclipse Trailer Released

March 11, 2010

I made a deal with my sister over Thanksgiving that I’d see New Moon with her if she went to see Fantastic Mr. Fox with me. The thing I forgot about was that I hadn’t seen the first Twilight movie. So I had to watch both of them. If you factor in my compulsion to [...]

March 10, 2010

I was a latecomer to the Tron world. I may have watched the original as a child but I don’t remember. A few years ago when I lived in Africa I would happen upon DVD collections from China. They had mostly bootlegged copies of new films. (Don’t judge, I needed my movie fix and there [...]

Watch Alive in Joburg. The Short that Became District 9

March 4, 2010

District 9 is kind of the little darling of the Best Picture nominees. It is not likely to win but everyone is glad it was nominated. Few people know that Neil Blomkamp was noticed by Peter Jackson after watching his short film Alive in Joburg. Jackson and Blomkamp tried [...]

Wednesday Double Feature: The Last Station and Ajami

March 3, 2010

In a rush to fit in as many Oscar nominated films as possible before Sunday’s Academy Award ceremonies, I’ve been cramming a movie into every free moment I have. Today happened to be a free day. I had nothing going on. I mean I have a ton of things I should be doing but movies [...]
