I think that in talking about Inception, you can do one of two things. First, you can analyze what the film means – what was Nolan saying, what does his world consist of, does it make sense? Second, you can actually talk about whether or not it was a good movie. I’m not saying the […]
I’ve come to take it as a granted that my favorite movie of the summer and year will probably be a Pixar film. I’ve learned to accept that the film that’s going to bring me to the highest level of pathos and enjoyment will inevitably be something brought to me in animated form. This has […]
This post is brought to you by My Cinema’s new writer, Rachael. To begin with, a disclaimer: If the mere thought of sparkly vampires makes your blood boil, if you’re so sick of Robert Pattinson’s face and Taylor Lautner’s abs that it makes you feel like Edward when Bella stands in front of a fan; […]
I was joking recently that the only thing I feel qualified to blog about lately is shows on ABC family. But here’s the thing… I REALLY like ABC Family shows. Every time I start off liking one semi-ironically, it ends with… well, long indulgent blog posts on why the show is so amazing. So, […]

It felt like, especially in the second half of the season, the show was aiming to […]
Maybe it’s the rosy Joss Whedon glow (and I need to go back to watch previous episodes to tell if the directing really was that much better this episode, or if I was just more inclined to notice it), but I kind of loved this week’s Glee. I think this was the show I was […]
