Movie Review: Lost in Austen starring Jemima Rooper and Elliot Cowan

by Keira 07.19.2011

This three hour BBC miniseries is just precious. It’s lighthearted, humorous, and perfect. Pride and Prejudice is revisited and reintroduced. Lost in Austen pays homage to Jane Austen’s original masterpiece while reinventing it. My friend, who is not a Pride and Prejudice fan—blasphemous I know!—loved this film. My other friend, who is a huge fan [...]

Movie Review: Alice in Wonderland starring Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Anne Hathaway

by Keira 07.15.2011

I honestly thought I wouldn’t like this Tim Burton film. Everything looked just entirely too too much and over the top. The trailers didn’t really appeal to me. I went to the 2D version because it was cheaper, so if I didn’t like it I hadn’t shelled out a lot of dough to see it. [...]

Movie Review: Keeping the Faith Starring Ben Stiller, Edward Norton, and Jenna Elfman

by Keira 06.01.2011

This love triangle features a priest, a rabbi, and a–oh you heard that joke have you? Well, drat there goes my punch line! Anyway this movie is a bit old, but I saw it for the first time the other day and I’m so glad I sat down to watch it, VHS tape, preview ads, [...]

Movie Review: Walk in the Clouds Starring Keanu Reeves and Aitana Sánchez-Gijón

by Keira 05.26.2011

Walk in the Clouds is one of the sweetest love stories I have ever seen on the silver screen. I’ve fallen in love with the cast and characters as surely as I have fallen in love with Pride and Prejudice. The grandfather (Anthony Quinn) is by far my favorite; he’s got eyes in the back [...]

Todd Anderson is the vice president of customer relations and order fulfillment for a company that sells over the phone patriotic kitsch. Within five minutes of the movie starting, Todd learns that despite his excellent record and that of his team [...]

Movie Review: 17 Again starring Matthew Perry and Zack Efron

by Keira 05.18.2011

I read a really funny review of 17 Again right before going to see the movie. It said something along the lines of if you can suspend belief that someone who looked like Zack Efron could wind up looking like Matthew Perry in twenty years then you can enjoy the movie. Truer words never spoken. [...]

Movie Review: Ghosts of Girlfriends Past starring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner

by Keira 05.05.2011

This is a fabulous contemporary update of the Christmas Carol. Matthew McConaughey is Connor Mead. Connor is the new Mr. Scrooge, except he’s gorgeous, charming, and wealthy. So what’s wrong with the guy? Connor is a miser, just like Scrooge. How? Unlike Scrooge, Connor withholds love/feelings instead of money/possessions. Just like Scrooge, Connor gets visited [...]
