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, […]

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 […]
As an unabashed fan of both bad action films and Joel McHale’s biceps, this week’s episode of Communitywas always going to be a hit with me. However, the show really knocked it out of the park by anchoring it in the kind of plot-moving emotional relevance that few shows can pull off with this sort […]
