Welcome, 2013: Free Screenplays, Interview with a Quvenzhané, and an Angry Tolkien
The Oscar nominations are in, and I find it interesting that 2012 film does not a pose a strong #1 film that will take down Oscar this year. Perhaps that will happen regardless, as it does most years, but with so many great movies that came out, I really do wonder who will take Best […]
The Hobbit: New Trailer Released!
In lieu of Frodo and Bilbo’s shared birthday on September 22, The Hobbit‘s marketing plan goes into full swing as it releases the latest and most revealing trailer for the first third of films. This trailer certainly includes some new material that makes it come off as a bit of an action flick. We also get […]
AEOS Review: The Bourne Legacy
I haven’t reviewed a film in quite a while, but I have some free time right now, so I’m back to posting. Thanks for everyone’s patience! (I know all of you just missed me so much, ha!) There haven’t been that many great films to review this month (see: last post), but The Bourne Legacy was one of […]
August: The Dead Month of Movies?
For a year that was highly-anticipatory for film, January through April took its sweet ‘ol time passing through, delivering only one fairly memorable film–The Hunger Games–and made all us viewers wonder if 2012 was really going to deliver, or just release a few biggies during the summer and Oscar seasons. Finally, May rolled around and The […]
The Comic Book Movie Debate: the Serious, and the Not So Serious
I credit Christopher Nolan for sparking the ever-growing debate circling comic book films: colorful, or dark? campy, or serious? true to form, or realistically-based? It must have been the release of Batman Begins in 2005, when the world was introduced to a comic book character–Bruce Wayne/Batman–and it wasn’t a pretty look. It was dark. It was a […]
AEOS Review: The Dark Knight Rises
Not Avengers. Not The Hobbit. Not the first of The Hunger Games or the last of Twilight produced the most anticipated hype for movies in 2012. I still believe that The Dark Knight Rises was the most anticipated film of the year. You can even add in a Tom Hooper and Quentin Tarantino flick near Oscar movie season, and I still hold […]
The Boy Who Loved Batman — Up Close with Executive Producer Michael Uslan
Little did I know a few weeks ago that meeting Michael Uslan, executive producer of all batman films, that I would find some of the greatest inspiration to pursue my passion for film. After finding my way into the right building at Harper College, I paid the seven dollar fee, saving myself a few bucks […]
Favorite Five Films of 2012 (January–June)
I’ve been seeing some of these posts pop up on friends’ sites, so I decided to add my own. I actually have found the first half of 2012 to be relatively uneventful and dull at the movies. There have been just a few hits that I’ve seen, and even fewer films that have resonated with […]
Three Final Weeks of Movies
I was a little inspired after seeing Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, and I thought it would be a cool to ask myself–and all of you out there–the following questions: What movie would you watch if you had only 3 weeks left to live? Dodge and Penny had only 3 weeks left, and […]
