Fantastic four plus Bradley Whitford

When I first heard about The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants I though it was a really stupid title. Today I came across it again, but this time I took the time to realise that all four main actresses are favourites of mine. Alexis Bledel not so much (she also did the worst job on [...]

It’ll be like an early Christmas

That’s how much I am looking forward to The Golden Compass which is set to come out December 6th. I just hope it doesn’t take forever to get to Austria, because that one I’d really like to see on a big screen.

rapid fire movie review – Red Doors

“Red Doors is understated and tends toward offbeat humor, foraging for amusement amidst pain and regret.”
That’s what this review said
For me [...]

Potty wee Potter

I finally managed to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and the book that is my favourite out of all Harry Potter books turned out to be also my favourite of the Potter movies. Obviously part of the glory goes to J. K. Rowling for writing such a great novel to [...]

“Knocked Up”

I have wanted to blog about Knocked Up for about a week now, but didn’t get around to it. NOT because I felt the movie didn’t deserve blogging; on the contrary: Knocked Up was probably the big surprise of this summer.

I had somehow bumped only into bad reviews about Knocked Up (or at least reviews [...]

how can some canadians make Shortbus – and other make THIS piece of crap?

I don’t know how exactly this got to be made into a movie, but somehow Floored by Love ended up on celluloid (or dvd or whatever it is low-budget films use these days). Oh. my. fucking. god. I swear I have never seen something that bad. Well yes, Rise of the Silver Surfer was bad. [...]

If you thought being fourteen and pregnant sucks, imagine being fourteen and pregnant and being a latina and your father is a minister. yeah, and now imagine being in [...]

Nina (Shelley Conn) left Glasgow on the day of her wedding, leaving behind her family, most of all her beloved father and his restaurant The New Taj. Years later she returns by the sad reason of her dad’s death. The restaurant is pretty much run down, and she soon learns that her father [...]

One girl grows up, the others kick ass

1. OK, there’s not much to say about Sancharram (The Journey), other than it’s the coming-of-age story of a young lesbian emancipating herself from tradition and convention to go her own way. Oh, and that she’s a lezzie in India, where it seems obviously much harder to achieve that. The ending was vague – I’m [...]

queer movie marathon: Spider Lilies

Last night I went to see the short film program Coming out is such great joy at 6 o’clock and the gf joined me for Ci-Qing/Spider Lilies at 8. As you can imagine I was knackered, especially since for about 20 minutes they weren’t able to start the last one of the shorts, so the [...]
