Website Update: I hit 6,000 followers on ShannonAThompson.com. Thank you for all of your continuous and loving support 😀 27 days until Minutes Before Sunset release! I'm going to be super careful with this review, because I think it's necessary. The Host is the movie adaption of Stephenie Meyer's novel, The Host, which I wrote… Continue reading Movie Mention: The Host

11 a.m. update: Yesterday evening, part of the KC Country Club Plaza exploded from a gas leak. I've received a few emails asking me if I'm okay, and I am.  However, I hope everyone involved in the fire is okay, and special thanks to firefighters, police, and first responders (or anyone else who is helping the… Continue reading Movie Mention: Beautiful Creatures

Happy Valentine's Day! On Monday night, I went and saw Warm Bodies--the movie that takes our normally feared zombie creatures and turns them into potential dates. When a young zombie man, R, saves Julie from becoming a zombie herself, the two trigger a heartbeat in the living dead, changing everything.

Movie Mention: Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

It's phenomenal. End of story. Seriously. I saw this Sunday night, and I couldn't get over how fantastic every bit of it was. The characters are rounded--they're, not only believable, but they complement one another tremendously. Jeremy Renner is a perfect sarcastic killer, while Gemma Arterton reclassifies the badass heroine every fantasy tale deserves. The… Continue reading Movie Mention: Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

ParaNorman is set in a superstitious town, haunted by the ghost of a prosecuted witch. Norman, a young boy with the gift of seeing the dead, realizes he must take charge and solve the… Continue reading Movie Mention: ParaNorman

I saw this bootlegging gang movie when it came out in theaters, so I'm very excited the DVD is released today! Living during the Depression, the three Bondurant brothers run Franklin County, Virginia with their illegal alcohol sales. But when corrupt eyes fall on their successful money, Forrest, Howard, and Jack must rely on one… Continue reading Movie Mention: Lawless

Movie Mention: Magic Mike

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: Interview with the Vampire

Shannon A Thompson14 Comments

  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
