Genre Grandeur: Romeo + Juliet (1996)

The theme of the Genre Grandeur for the month of June over at the wonderful Movierob was high school/teen romance movies. For my choice, I thought what better than the ultimate teenage romance story – that of Romeo and Juliet, as originally written by William Shakespeare in approximately the year 1595, but brought to life […]

The Beach Party Blogathon: Orca (1977)

A tale of vengeance and seaside misadventure, Orca (1977, dir. Michael Anderson) isn’t exactly a party at the beach, but it is definitely a very unique viewing experience. Orca tells the story of Captain Nolan (Richard Harris), who captures wild marine animals to sell them to aquariums, to pay off the mortgage for his boat and eventual […]

The Decades Blogathon: Deep Red (1975)

When I heard that Mark of Three Rows Back and Tom of Digital Shortbread were hosting the Decades Blogathon, I knew I had to join in. The concept of the blogathon is to pick a film to review from the fifth year of each decade – whether it’s 1905, 1955, or 2015. I love this […]

When I saw this blogathon over at the most marvellous Karamel Kinema, I knew I had to partake in it immediately.

The […]

Shitfest is here! My favourite celebration of terrible, horrible, no good films is finally here for everyone to enjoy. I chose to review a little film called Australia (2008), which was really not very good at all. Viva la Shitfest!

NOOOOvember: Pacific Rim (2013)

It’s November! That means it’s time for another awesomely great blogathon over at the wonderful Cara’s blog Silver Screen Serenade – NOOOOvember. The purpose of this fine blogathon is to celebrate disappointment and purge the feelings of regret and anger that arise after watching a bad film that you had high expectations for. I really […]

Genre Grandeur: Lisztomania (1975)

The theme for October’s Genre Grandeur over at the excellent MovieRob was biopics, and I chose one of the most non-biographical biopics of all – Ken Russell’s Lisztomania (1975). As always, Genre Grandeur is a super awesome series and I’d definitely suggest checking out the posts at MovieRob. (Thought I’d post this now to provide […]

The Ten Most Iconic Female Movie Characters Blogathon!

I love watching films about strong women. I think they’re so important to see and to celebrate, so when I found out that Martin of Martin Teller’s Movie Reviews passed the baton to me in this most excellent of relay blogathons, I was really excited! Any chance to highlight the diversity, strength, and iconic status […]

Here’s what Nostra says about this challenge of cinematic connection: […]
