Favorite Films of 2012 and Favorite Posts of 2012
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor As a film blogger, I do see a considerable number of films/movies during the year, yet when it comes time to pick my favorites, and the Golden Globe Nominations are revealed, it becomes abundantly and disappointingly clear that I didn’t see nearly enough films/movies to make a proper judgment. I also swear, I’m constantly doing write-ups on what I do see, but then at the end of the year, there’s a whole host of movies I never did a post about, or just a very short commentary on facebook. (by the way, please like my facebook page – it’s at 143 likes, 150 would be…

Candyland White Cake Showdown: DJANGO UNCHAINED
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I always say I would have enjoyed the Antebellum South were it not for the total degradation, abomination and heinous practice of slavery. However, I like to imagine taking color and race out of the equation and instead put in robots or an alien race who truly live to serve. Then, I couldpicture myself with a pretty sweet life of sipping mint juleps on a colonnade porch, attending balls in fancy gowns, sleeping in the afternoon heat and entertaining suitors in the parlor. Writer/Director Quentin Tarantino likes to rewrite history, imagining some kick ass retribution that levels the playing field. First annihilating the Nazi’s in…

Will You Stop Eating Cupcakes! – THIS IS 40
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor If I had realized the characters in Judd Apatow’s This Is 40, were the same couple from Knocked Up, I would not have gone to see this movie. I hated Alison’s (Katherine Heigl’s) annoying, abrasive, argumentative sister and brother-in-law. My amnesia is not surprising considering Knocked Up is on my list of “never need to see again movies” – just did not see the funny. I did however, really like the trailer for This Is 40, and not only did the trailer do the movie justice – for a change, there are heaps more funny scenes and lines than the trailer shows! Most importantly, Debbie…

Très Bon: Les Misérables (Golden Globe Nominated)
It’s hard for me to remember a time when the song “Do You Hear The People Sing” has not been among the top rotation of songs that just constantly live in my head. I’m not very political and I’m far too afraid of being arrested to ever actually participate in a sit in; nonetheless, I have a fantasy about taking a stand for some injustice and just when defeat seems imminent and those that stand with me seem about to cave, I break out loud and clear with: (see video below) The truth of the matter, I, like so many others have listened to Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil‘s score…

Feast Fit for a Dwarf – The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Yes, I have seen and took pleasure in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. However, no, haven’t had a chance to watch any of the 3 again since seeing them in the theater. And no, I haven’t ever read J. R. R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”. Although, I’ve added it to my Audible.com queue, or what they call “Wish List”. Therefore, I’m basically unqualified to truly review The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. So I went to TheOneRing.net – forged by and for fans of J.R.R Tolkien, to see what they had to say about this much anticipated prequel. There’s a lot there – including 12 things they like and dislike…
