makingofmovies:
Rumors of remakes and reboots are all over the place right now, but this one has to be the most min-blowing/exciting that’s surfaced maybe ever.
/Film is reporting that Danish film director Lars von Trier is teaming up with Martin Scorsese to remake the new-holloywood classic Taxi Driver. If that’s not enough, Robert de Niro will again star.

The September Issue
Yes, I’m really behind. Sorry, kids.
I actually saw The September Issue months ago, but was recently reminded with all this fashion week talk. Since it’s been a while, I’ve forgotten most of the details about this documentary - but something has stuck with me. It is a perfect representation of the relationship between someone in creative and an editor. I remember leaving the...
up in the air
so i’m trying to catch up on all the nominees before the oscar’s on march 7th. wednesday i went to see up in the air. i liked it, but that was about it. i don’t really think it’s worth all the oscar buzz. george clooney’s performance was the same as always- charming and emtpy. i suppose you could argue that those attributes fit his character to a tee, but come on,...

the lonely bonerz
i’m a huge fan of going to the movies alone. especially in the summertime when there is a new action release practically every week because not all my friends will go see ANYTHING in the theater. last thursday i decided to go see the lovely bones because once again, i didn’t really know many others that wanted to see it. rotten tomatoes gave it a whopping 32% amongst the top...

yet avatar still managed to take home the award for best motion picture (drama) at the golden globes.
so they say avatar is going to change the way...
with holiday festivities in full swing, my movie watching took a backseat at the end of 2009. i didn’t take the time to watch the avatar trailer until the movie had already been released and i even skimmed over most avatar-related discussion in my google reader. for whatever reason, i was completely uninterested. after a few days of the movie’s release, i started to hear tons of people...

i have no idea.
a couple of weeks ago, i went to see antichrist with a friend. i’ve had a lot of time to think about it and i still can’t really decide if i liked it or not. the friend that joined me, did not like it stating that, “the premise was strong. a fine idea for a film. yet the flesh seemed weak. von trier had great intentions and a unique concept for a film, but the delivery fell...

kristin and i rarely post to this blog. this isn’t to say that we’ve totally given up on it. i’m still hanging in there. luckily i think there is going to be an upcoming shift in my work schedule that may give me a little more free time to update. since my last post i’ve seen:

claire watches a lot of fucking tv in august '09
ever since my epic dumping by the first boyfriend i’ve had in 5 years, i decided to get back into watching tv on dvd to keep my mind occupied. a little over three months have went by and i feel good about the break up, but now i am am currently faced with a crippling addiction to tv on dvd… once again. in the past few months i have blown through every season available on dvd of how i...

Triumphant Return
…sort of.
It’s been a REALLY long time since I’ve updated this (or any) blog. I’m starting the first disc of ‘John Adams’ tonight. I’m super psyched.
Especially with all these militias forming at the healthcare “town hall” meetings. My taste for revolution has been whetted. But not in that crazy “I’m gonna bring an automatic...

first post in a really long time
i know i promised a post earlier today, but i’ve been watching A LOT of movies, i’ve been going through some weird stuff lately and sitting down to write has felt a bit daunting…. and to be honest, i love seeing the summer movies, but with the exception of a few, the summer movie season has been rather disappointing so far.
what i think i’ll do for now is write a few...

recently my roommates and i have been getting into gossip girl. it’s filling the void in my soul that was left by the much needed cancellation of the oc. the voiceover is probably my least favorite aspect of the show thus far. all the dudes look the same and it’s the same shit we’ve always seen from these types of shows.
the other day i was sitting in the backyard with will and...

last weekend i went to wisconsin with my parents to spread my recently deceased grandmother’s ashes. i had to hole it up in a hotel room with my parents and little brother for the first time in several years. it was a little awkward because as of lately, me and my brother haven’t been getting along great. we have almost nothing in common these days, but it’s okay. he’s...
bedazzled
for anyone that hasn’t see bedazzled, please go rent it now. i’m not talking about the dudley moore version; i’m talking about the brenden fucking frasier version. i’m currently watching it AGAIN and i wholeheartedly believe it’s one of the funniest movies i’ve ever seen. added bonus- liz hurley is unbelievably hot in it as the devil.
