Movie Mention: Skyfall

Shannon A Thompson9 Comments

Last night I didn't get out of the theatre until 11:30 p.m. because I went and saw Skyfall, even though I've been slightly ill. (Hopefully that goes away in time for Thanksgiving!) But was it worth it? Probably. I'm not a HUGE action-movie fan, or a fan of James Bond being blonde-haired and blue-eyed, BUT… Continue reading Movie Mention: Skyfall

Movie Mention: V for Vendetta

Shannon A Thompson11 Comments

Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... That's right. Today is the fifth of November; therefore, we are all required (if not overjoyed) to watch V for Vendetta. This 2005 Sci-Fi thriller will cause you to wear a… Continue reading Movie Mention: V for Vendetta

Sorry for the lack of posts! I’ve been busy with school and Halloween. BUT—speaking of Halloween—I watched a scary movie recently that I think is a great Halloween flick: Insidious. After moving into a new house, a family starts having strange occurrences. Once one of the children falls into a coma, the family decides to move,… Continue reading Movie Mention: Insidious

Okay. Okay. I know. This isn’t exactly my classiest post (or my longest), but I couldn’t help myself. I saw Magic Mike in theatres, and it’s the perfect Girls-Night-Out (Or Girls-Night-In with wine and chocolate) movie! Today Magic Mike was released on DVD, and of course it is an adult movie (Rated R), and it’s… Continue reading Movie Mention: Magic Mike

Movie Mention: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Well—I was FINALLY able to see this wonderful movie, even though I had to drive 40 minutes to find a theatre that was playing it here in Kansas. (I swear these things don’t normally happen in the Midwest—contrary to popular belief, we do have a lot to do for entertainment.) And for those of you… Continue reading Movie Mention: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Movie Mention: Interview with the Vampire

  Now that I’ve given you all a great YA Halloween read, I thought I’d suggest a good Halloween movie. (But I wouldn’t clarify it as YA, because it is more on the violent side). Everyone nowadays seems to be in the vampire craze (or at least was in it at some moment). I have… Continue reading Movie Mention: Interview with the Vampire

Movie Mention: Looper

Shannon A Thompson17 Comments

Afternoon, readers! I saw Looper last night, so I thought I'd give my opinion on this science-fiction thriller. In the future, it's nearly impossible to get rid of bodies, so the mob uses loopers--trained assassins that kill and dispose of whomever the mob sends backwards in time. Shockingly Joe, being one of these men, gets his loop closed… Continue reading Movie Mention: Looper
