I’ve come to the conclusion that if Robert Downey Jr. is in a movie i am going to end up watching it for he never seems to get himself cast into crap. It’s nice. Perhaps it’s just dumb luck, but i would like to think there are, out there, movie stars and starlets who actually [...]

 I'm a student pursuing a doctoral degree in late medieval history. My main interests include but are not limited to Latin, Italian, cultural theory, educational curriculum, historiography, cognitive processes, language-theory, gender relations and THE WESTERN CANON (mwahaha); i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; My main hobbies include the exciting activities of cooking, baking, going to the gym, eating green apple-caramel lollipops, restaurant reviewing and acting as child-like and sassy as possible. I keep these entries from the years of my life - no matter how i feel about them today - available because i find it useful to revisit events i now interpret differently. My name is heather, i'm of Montreal and i was born in the nefarious, ominous year 1984. |
Last week it rained and was unseasonably cold for four consecutive days. But the last, Saturday, all that i wanted to do was hide indoors under a blanket. However, instead, i went to the movies down by the Harbour - a theatre that has a full bar inside - very nice! This was after a [...] I love action movies and the newest James Bond does the genre justice. In keeping with the precedent set in Casino Royale, the movie opens with a fantastic chase and then dives into an even better chase scene on foot through the streets of Siena. Ok… as i think about it, maybe Quantum Solace is [...] I hadn’t been to a movie on opening night in ages and, i must say, the theatre was packed. Burn After Reading provided exactly what i had hoped for in a birthday movie - it was funny; it made me uncomfortable at times; it was social commentary in a completely palatable form. On September 19, Alliance Films is releasing a movie starring Julianne Moore entitled Blindness. I’m sort of undecided as to whether or not i will harass someone to go see it with me. The plot, there is a plague and society crumbles, sounds strangely reminiscient of Children of Men, which though i liked it, i [...] My parents are forever telling both myself and anyone willing to listen how “difficult” i am to get along with. There is some truth to this. I have not been at home a week and i am already tired of doing dishes for three people, cooking for more than one person, running around to get [...] Bryan Bertino’s newest screenplay, The Strangers, will be released in Canada on May 30th. The extent to which the trailer reminded me of Vacancy, which i saw last summer at the drive-in, was actually so substantial that I ended up doing an IMDB look-up. I’m usually opposed to writers directing their own work as is [...] I love action movies - my excitement over the impending release of the new Indiana Jones is already starting to irritate those few people who talk to me semi-regularly. Iron Man had been highly recommended by a large swatch of the population and now i see why. Image via Wikipedia Having come highly recommended to me by more than one person, i sat down last night around 2am to watch Lars and the Real Girl genuinely worried that my laughing might wake my landlords whose baby has been sick recently. On May 16th, Morgan Spurlock will be releasing a new movie. You might remember him from such past entertaining documentaries as SuperSize Me. I watched the trailer for Where in the World is Osama bin Laden? on the Alliance website earlier this week and am intrigued. Even with an entourage consisting of a film crew [...] |
