‘Dark Shadows’ Review: Depp Can’t Save Wounded Plot

There’s something special about the gothic, gloomy and melancholy feel of a Tim Burton film. Whether it’s the stunning snowy backdrop of the modern day fairy tale and the first Burton/Depp collaboration, Edward Scissorhands or the hypnotic musical set in London starring a crazed barber, Sweeney Todd, we always walk out of the theatre knowing we’ve seen something. When it comes to Dark Shadows, we leave the movie knowing that we’ve just seen something, we’re just not sure what exactly it was.

Dark Shadows is based on the late ’60s television soap opera of the same name. From what I’ve gathered, …

Joss Whedon Has a Special Message for DC Film Girl!

I still can’t believe this happened! On the weekend of April 13-15, Kevin and I traveled to LA for The Avengers press junket, checked in at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills and ran into Joss Whedon on the elevator! Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my all-time favorite TV show, so this meant so much to me!

Later that night, I saw The Avengers at the El Capitan theatre on Hollywood Blvd, where Samuel L. Jackson joined us in the balcony to watch the movie too! The movie was incredible! Full review here.

The next day, …

‘Marvel’s The Avengers’ Review: Intense Action, Witty Dialogue, All-Around Badass

If you’re not a fan of Joss Whedon, you will be after this movie. Marvel’s The Avengers was written and directed by someone who is passionate about movies, superheroes, science fiction and action sequences. And let’s not forget that Whedon is the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, my favorite superhero of all-time!

What’s unique about this superhero story, is the fact that Whedon fulfills every Marvel comic book nerd’s dream, while also making it an enjoyable film experience for people who have never even picked up a comic book.

Most of my knowledge of Thor, Captain America, Iron Man and The Hulk …

‘The Five-Year Engagement’ Review: Unfunny, Depressing and Poorly Scripted

The Five-Year Engagement feels five hours too long, is fifteen jokes short of a punch line and worst of all, a script so poorly put together, you aren’t quite sure what’s going on during the majority of the film.

Written by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller, who brought us the hilarious and charming Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I had high hopes for this film and was severely disappointed with the overall picture.

Since Judd Apatow threw his name under the producer credits, I thought this was going to be the year’s perfect romantic comedy, mixed with a little bit of Bridesmaids and Knocked …

On its debut weekend, the Nicholas Sparks novel brought to life, The Lucky One made $22.5 million at the box office. It beat out The Hunger Games, which was at the top of the box office for the last four weeks. Sparks’ film adaptations, which include The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Dear John and The Last Song have brought in over $600 million in box office dollars.

We all know Sparks for his beautiful stories centering around two people who are romantically involved. But how exactly do his popular stories come to life on film and who is behind the transformation from book …
