Star Trek Into Darkness (advance screening)

content discovered on Friday, May 17, 2013 in audiences, action adventure, movie makers, science fiction, seating

SPOILERSI'm afraid the only way I can talk about Star Trek Into Darkness properly is if I go into full detail about the movie. Sorry about that. If you don't wanna be spoiled, turn back now. Quinto and Pine have made Spock and Kirk their own without imitating their predecessors. Quinto in particular makes for a very tenacious Spock.The AMC Loews East 19th Street theater in Manhattan was the site for this advance screening. My email said to arrive no later than eight. I got there at about 7:15. 7:20 or ...

The Howard Hawks Blogathon is a celebration of the life and career of director Howard Hawks, and is hosted by the blog Seetimaar. For a complete list of participating bloggers, visit the website.Sergeant Yorkseen on TV @ TCM5.10.13I imagine that for as long as man has waged war on each other, there have been individuals with moral objections to the practice. It's certainly not hard to imagine why. Someone once described war as a failure of the imagination, and when one considers how long some conflicts h...

Mud

content discovered on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 in romance, friends, drama

Mudseen @ Kew Gardens Cinemas, Kew Gardens, Queens, NY4.30.13I wrote a post once in which I revealed some of the craziest things I did for love of a girl. Some were less weird than others, true, but in every instance I believed myself totally justified in my actions. Didn't matter if I was thinking straight or not.I've tried to play it cool. I've told myself that I can't let things get out of hand in dealing with females, can't let things go to extremes, because that has been a problem for me in the past...

My hay fever knocked me the hell out last weekend, and indeed, this has been a kinda rough season for it this year, which is why I haven't written as much lately. Right now, I feel fine. I've decided I have to put "City Mouse Makes a Movie" on hiatus for awhile, because I have another project that I have to devote more of my attention to, because it has a deadline. I'll tell you about it eventually. CM should return before the end of the summer. Finally, I wanna say thanks to everyone who dropped by ...

Iron Man 3

content discovered on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 in action adventure, favorite theaters, science fiction, books, writing

Iron Man 3seen @ Williamsburg Cinemas, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY5.7.13Iron Man 3 is what it is. Did it entertain me? Yeah. There were funny bits (though not as many as in the first one), there were unexpected bits (I didn't really think [SPOILER] was gonna die, but for a moment I wasn't sure) and the visuals were astonishing as always (sitting through the credits, waiting for the obligatory after-credits scene - which is not worth waiting for - I was amazed at the gargantuan list of people involved in m...

The Mary Astor Blogathon is an event honoring the life and film career of actress Mary Astor, and is hosted by Tales of the Easily Distracted and Silver Screenings. Click on the links for a complete list of participating blogs.Dodsworthseen on TV @ TCM4.14.13"What a drag it is getting old," the Rolling Stones sang, and brother, ain't that the truth. It's nothing you can control, try as you might. In your head, you may still feel like you can mosh like a madman and rave till dawn, but one day, you wake up...

Iron links

content discovered on Thursday, May 02, 2013 in bloggers and critics, movie stars, movie industry

Oooooh boy, the summer movie season is finally upon us, and while my expectations for the summer blockbusters are fair-to-middling this year, it's still exciting to see what they have for us. As much as I've been kvetching on Twitter about the new Star Trek film, for instance, there's no way I can avoid seeing it, simply because it is Star Trek. The superhero movies, on the other hand, I've cooled down on a little bit - too much of a good thing, y'know - but hope springs eternal. Can Christopher Nolan's ...

All Quiet on the Western Front

content discovered on Monday, April 29, 2013 in classic cinema, beyond nyc, loew s jersey theatre

All Quiet on the Western Frontseen @ Landmark Loews Jersey Theater, Jersey City, NJ4.27.13I liked All Quiet on the Western Front well enough, but something about it bugged me, and the more I think about it, the more it bothers me. I'll get to it in a minute.Okay, so this is a war movie, right? And it's fairly ahead of its time too. At first, all I noticed were the usual war film cliches: boot camp, the heartless, hard-ass drill sergeant, being sent to the front lines, the rookies meeting the veterans, th...

The Lost World (1925)

content discovered on Saturday, April 27, 2013 in action adventure, silent films, classic cinema, music, fantasy, puppetry

The Lost World (1925)seen @ Pavillion Theater, Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY4.24.13Dinosaurs! Such lovable critters, aren't they? I vaguely remember seeing those dinosaur bones at the Museum of Natural History as a kid and being blown away by them. I recall reading a young adult book involving modern-day dinosaurs of some kind. That's about all I remember about them from my childhood. They say kids, especially boys, love dinosaurs, and while that's not entirely untrue in my case, I guess it never quite caught...

Star Trek TNG: The Best of Both Worlds

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Best of Both Worldsseen @ College Point Multiplex, College Point, Queens, NY4.25.13It's amazing how wedded we as a society have become to technology. The thought crossed my mind last weekend as I saw a jogger in the park adjusting a small iPod worn on her arm. It seems like such an everyday thing now, and yet, when one stops to consider what a miracle it is, the thought is mind-blowing. All these gadgets and gizmos that have become shockingly commonplace, however, hav...
