When I belonged to a fan fiction community back in the early 00s, a few writers friends were always talking about Velvet Goldmine. Eventually, their enthusiasm wore me down and I purchased the movie to see what all the fuss was about. Boy, was I in for a treat. Being an avid reader and writer …
I don’t watch movies like I used to. But when I find one I enjoy, I must share it with the world. So I thought I’d create a new category about the latest movie I popped into my DVD player, or recorded on PVR. I’m a HUGE Mad Max fan. I have been ever since …
In Canuckville, we’re still without snow (just because I said that, a blizzard will whisk through here). We got dumped on at the end of October and enjoyed the white fluffy stuff for a couple of weeks since the temp was hovering around -12 Celsius. Then a warm spell wooshed in and stole all our …
Although I don’t watch a lot of romance movies (go figure because I love romance novels), certain couples grab my attention when I’m immersed in an action movie. There are times when I do pop in a mushy DVD full of romance, and surprise, it’s the secondary couple I prefer. And the other time, it’s …
When I delve into chick flicks, two I can watch over and over are French Kiss (Meg Ryan) and She-Devil (Roseanne Barr). What draws me to them, besides the comedy and awesome performances given by great starring and supporting casts? The character arcs. And not just the MCs either. At the beginning of each movie, …
I thought I’d do something simple for my last post of the year. The title says it all. I put the quotes under the cut since there is some strong language.
When the holidays roll around, it’s movie time for me. While others watch Christmas classics, I prefer popping something from the past into the DVD player—usually one of my faves I can watch over and over. This year is no different. The other night I plunked down in the recliner and watched The Adventures of …
In my YA romance (WIP) that takes place in the 80s, three female friends enjoy gathering at one another’s apartments (they all live in the same complex) to scarf down popcorn, gossip, and fight over which movie to slip into the VCR. Each has their faves. During one scene in the WIP, the girls are …
Since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought I’d do a post on scary movies I enjoyed. Er, okay, my list won’t be long, and the movies hardly scary. Unfortunately, I’m terrified of movies that make your skin crawl, especially the paranormal kind. I can maybe handle slasher, gore, and some suspense, but nothing …
