Those cool kids over at Gordon and the Whale asked me to guest write a review this week. With their permission I'm also re-posting it here. Check out their site, they are pretty much all that's great in this world. The last few weeks have ushered in the season of summer blockbusters. First we had the record-breaking opening of IRON MAN 2, then

Hey all! We had a blast at the Opening Night for the 2010 DALLAS International Film Festival. I'm running around today, but I wanted to make sure to share a few of the highlight moments with all of you! Below are some pictures from the Red Carpet and the Opening Night Party.

Now, I’ve always considered myself to be somewhat of a nerd. Not because I delve deeply into one particular interest but because I sample a bit from each genre. This last weekend, I received the largest culture shock of my nerdy life; immersion into the Anime world by attending the Naka-Kon in Kansas City, Missouri. My best friend and I

A Quick Disclaimer: Sorry it’s taken me so long to get to this. I had to wait until the rest of 2009’s movies trickled down to Houston (I swear we’re the anus of the cinematic release system). So, here are my top ten movies of 2009… 10. THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS – Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) and Mr. Nick (Tom Waits)

Nerdy Cinema: THE BOOK OF ELI

Reprinted from Reel Vixens I’m starting to think that I should no longer give my opinion of a movie right after I see it to any of my peers. Even if I’m not so impressed with a movie, I always try to come up with something vaguely positive to say about a movie. I’ll say something like “oh, the ending was a big surprise” (translation:

(Previously posted at Reel Vixens) My oldest and dearest friend Jen has been in town from Vermont the last week, which of course leads to debauchery and adventures. If you read my Twitter feed, you probably got an eyefull this week. Well, the other benefit of having Jen in town, besides an adventurous partner in crime, is her new-found
