When I Grow Up I’m Going to be a Vampire
Tweet by Kimster With Halloween coming up, I guess it only makes sense that I have vampires on my zombie-free brain. As I was eating my lunch today, I realized that vampires and chips are very much alike in that you can’t have just one. For decades the lore of vampires in film has varied and changed so dramatically from…

How To Throw An Awesome Movie Halloween Party, Part 3: Spooky Food and Drinks!
Tweet by Maggie Kruger What’s that you say? “Food’s not spooky, Mags, you daft baggage! Food’s lovely!” All I can say is “How are those maggots, Michael?” The census taker, her liver, some fava beans and a nice Chianti. Texas Chainsaw Massacre Are you with me yet? OK, I’m not suggesting you go out and do anything rash with a power…

OK, we’ve still got a couple of weeks to go but it’s time to get back to planning your awesome Halloween Movie party – this week: decorations and games! 1.

How to Throw an Awesome Halloween Party – Part 1: Movie-Themed Costume Ideas
Tweet by Maggie Kruger I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Joel’s a little excited about Halloween. And why not? It’s easily the coolest excuse for a party there is – everyone gets dressed up, you can get freaky with the décor, with the food, and let’s face it – the best movies are scary movies! With that in mind,…

5 Babysitting Lessons I Learned from the Movies
Tweet by Maggie Kruger So my sister calls me up the other week, asking a favour. Faintly, in the distance, I heard warning bells start to ring… Tubular Bells, one might say… I love my sister, but when she asks for a favour it usually means one of three things: 1. She wants to come and stay with me for…

Two Friends Talkin’ Movies – Tokyo Story
Tweet Nathan My double-shot of Ozu in one week was well worth the time. I watched Tokyo Story (1953) last week, and as you know, we screened Late Spring (1949) as part of our TPR Cinema Tuesdays series. If I had to immediately pick one above the other, I think I’d say I like Tokyo Story more. We often hear…

How to Plan your Movie Week
Tweet by Maggie Kruger Much to the chagrin of my friends and family, I am a movie geek. (They’re also fairly chagrined that I use the word ‘chagrin’ but never mind that.) They don’t complain about me being a movie geek when they can’t remember the title of that film with that bloke and the woman, or when we’re in…

It Came From the ’80s: Superman 2 (1981)
Tweet by Sheri White In early summer of 1981, I was a member of our church’s Teen Club (shut up). I mostly joined to please my mom, who figured I wouldn’t be doing anything I shouldn’t if I were a member. I did have some fun and actually met a cute boy named Joe. Joe was funny, smart and together. …

Two Friends Talkin’ Movies: Gojira (1954)
Tweet by Dave Umbricht and Nathan Cone Dave Gojira, Gojira, Gojira, Gojira, Gojira Want to start? Nathan STOMP! STOMP! STOMP! Of course I selected Gojira because our last review was all about a giant lizard attacking a major metropolis. Like many kids, I grew up with the Godzilla movie series, including such memorable (ahem) films as Mothra vs. Godzilla, Son of Godzilla,…

Peter’s Retro Reviews: Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid (1982)
Tweet by Peter Nielsen This is my favorite Steve Martin-movie! Sure, he’s made other funny movies too, like for instance The Jerk, Three Amigos and All of Me, but he was never better or funnier than in Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid. It’s a classic detective story in the same spirit as the ones from the 40’s and 50’s. All…

It Came From the ’80s: The World According to Garp (1982)
Tweet By Sheri White Last week I said that every girl dates a creep at some time in her life. Well, she will also date a really cool guy at some point. My cool guy was Andy. I met him when a group of us went to the Mall in DC on July 4th to party and listen to the…

It is R –Rated, 18 certificated, 100% not one for the office*** So I know my life sounds like a catalogue of woes at the moment (rat infestations, flatmates swanning off on holiday, don’t even get me started on the leak from the apartment upstairs and the mushrooms growing out…

It Came From the ’80s: Pink Floyd’s The Wall (1982)
Tweet By Sheri White At some point in a girl’s life, she will date a creep. She may not realize that the guy was a creep until well after they’ve broken up, but trust me – every girl dates one. My creep was Ivan. I dated him in between first-love Kevin and Marine Kevin. I met him while Marybeth and…

Two Friends Talking Movies: Q the Winged Serpent (1982)
Tweet by Dave Umbricht and Nathan Cone After a bit of a hiatus, we are back. Logistical issues delayed us. Who would have thought it would be difficult to obtain a copy of a B-movie about a flying lizard? Anyways, here we go. Nathan: Want me to give you an opening salvo, or would you like to begin? Dave: Go…

It Came From the ’80s: The Day After (1983)
Tweet by Sheri White My parents had the Cuban Missile Crisis when they were in school; I had the threat of world nuclear annihilation during my school years. Occasionally a warning siren would be tested while we were in the middle of class, practically ensuring my uniform would need a washing that night from the sweat that had soaked it.…

How to Reinvent Yourself Via the Magic of the Movies
Tweet by Maggie Kruger Ever had one of those mornings when you’ve woken up, looked in the mirror and wished you were somewhere else? That you were someone else? That you had someone else’s life, one that didn’t involve long commutes to the office, lengthy arguments about whose turn it is to do the washing up, and in which you…
