My Top 300 Movies :: 246-250
246. All About Eve Oh Bette Davis, how I love you in this film (and so many others). I adore the quick dialogue, both witty and snarky, something I LOVE in both film and television. This movie never loses its punch, and is such a delightful and devastating look into Hollywood. “Fasten your seat belts, its going to be a bumpy night!” Beau Soir :: Claude Debussy from the soundtrack to All About Eve Trailer 247. Walk the Line Music movies and music biopics, they always steal my heart. Joaquin and Reese are fantastic in this, they have so much … Continue reading My Top 300 Movies :: 246-250
My Top 300 Movies :: 216-220
216. Blue Valentine My heart broke watching the story of Cindy and Dean unfold and fall apart, and it left an ache in me that I can still feel as I recall the story. There are scenes in this movie that feel ripped from my life, which I know is part of the collective conscious of what its like to fall in love, to deal with the unexpected, and to have love fall apart. I wanted a different ending, at times I was holding my breath for a different ending, but the ending is part of what makes this movie … Continue reading My Top 300 Movies :: 216-220
Captain Tight Pants takes on the Invasion of the Gunn-worms and The Real Mike Returns to the hunt for the Tall Man :: Saturday Horror Movies
Captain Tight Pants takes on the Invasion of the Gunn-worms and The Real Mike Returns to the hunt for the Tall Man :: Saturday Horror Movies Its that time again, time to grab your favorite snack and your favorite hand to hold when you get frightened, as we share another Saturday Night Horror Double Feature. This time around we decided on an early film from Guardians of the Galaxy‘s James Gunn, a film my husband actually did background work in as one of the many bodies/hands within Michael Rooker’s wormified creature. The whole family had recently enjoyed the hell out … Continue reading Captain Tight Pants takes on the Invasion of the Gunn-worms and The Real Mike Returns to the hunt for the Tall Man :: Saturday Horror Movies
My Top 300 Movies :: 211-215
211. Milk An emotionally-charged, phenomenal bio-pic, this movie belongs on a list of movies that make me cry my eyes out. Amazing performances by Sean Penn, James Franco, Emile Hirsch, James Brolin, Diego Luna and Alison Pill – among others – directed by one of my favorites, Gus Van Sant. This is the kind of movie that makes me want to get back into volunteer/social change work again. Gay Pride rally speech Cleve joins the revolution Trailer 212. The Evil Dead One of my favorite horror franchises. I actually saw the second of the series first, but have definitely seen … Continue reading My Top 300 Movies :: 211-215
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken and Zontar: The Thing From Venus :: His and Hers Double Feature (1966)
His and Hers Double Feature :: 1966 :: The Ghost and Mr. Chicken and Zontar: The Thing From Venus It’s that time again, the attack of the His and Hers Double Feature and this time we decided to go for a little Ghost Mystery and a lot cheesy Sci-Fi. We wanted to go back to the spirit of the drive-in movie with choices we’d love to showcase at our own drive-in or backyard theater (maybe someday). We went with a stereotypical reluctant hero story, you know the kind, where the coward with a whole lot of heart and spunk saves the … Continue reading The Ghost and Mr. Chicken and Zontar: The Thing From Venus :: His and Hers Double Feature (1966)

206. Where the Heart Is Maybe its because I had my oldest daughter at a young age, maybe its because I’m ever drawn to stories of unconventional families and the bonds we create of our choosing (our families of choice), or perhaps it is because I adore Natalie Portman – whatever the reason, this is one of those films that I can watch over and over, and it will always make me cry, laugh, and feel less alone. Natalie is brilliant in this, as is Stockard Channing (such an underrated actor Stockard is!) and Ashley Judd (her story breaks me), … Continue reading My Top 300 Movies :: 206-210
Boeing Boeing and Dear Brigitte :: His and Hers Double Feature (1965)
His and Hers Drive-In Double Feature :: 1965 :: Boeing Boeing and Dear Brigitte Our Movie Nights are back at Lyriquediscorde, switching back-and-forth between Horror Double Features and our “His and Hers” year-by-year “Drive-In Double Feature“. We took a break, but are back in service to watch and review two movies for the Lyriquediscorde readers. This time around we settled in for a tale of womanizing gone awry in the City of Lights, and a story of an eight year old mathematical genius/French actress fanboy who travels to the City of Lights to meet the gorgeous Brigitte Bardot, oh, and also … Continue reading Boeing Boeing and Dear Brigitte :: His and Hers Double Feature (1965)
Wish I Was Here :: For the love of Movies
Wish I Was Here (2014) Written by Adam & Zach Braff Directed by Zach Braff Focus Features I am going to start this by saying that I went into this film expecting to love it, and I left the movie loving it more than I expected. I start this post off with that sentence so that if you have come to this expecting me to rip the film apart, which seems to be the overwhelming nature of all the reviews I’ve read, then you have come to the wrong place. Also, I have absolutely no intention of comparing it to … Continue reading Wish I Was Here :: For the love of Movies
