Usually, when I go to a press conference- two things happen. For one, I have seen the movie and taken notes so I know what questions, if any, I have for the cast or directors. Two- the cast and directors actually give answers about the movie. Neither were the case for the press conference this past weekend for Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War and it made for a hilarious, fun, albeit unusual, press … [Read more...]
REVIEW: KONG: SKULL ISLAND – Gorillapocalypse Not Now
King Kong has gone through many iterations throughout the years, but one thing remains constant: He’s a misunderstood giant who’s far less of a monster than the humans who attack him. Peter Jackson’s KING KONG pioneered technology and special effects all whilst gifting us a hugely entertaining spectacle with gravitas and heart. Director Jordan Vogt-Robert’s KONG: SKULL ISLAND does a sufficient job … [Read more...]
REVIEW: HIGH-RISE Is Filled With More Lows Than Highs
There’s a scene in director Ben Wheatley’s HIGH-RISE where two characters discuss the qualities it takes to live in a high-rise apartment building. However, none of the characters in the film possess these qualities – nor are they as deep as the filmmaker would have us believe. This film is deliberately provocative, pretentious and pompous. But it looks so seductive, polished and pretty. Based … [Read more...]

Director Marc Abraham’s I SAW THE … [Read more...]
Crimson Peak Review: Lavish Style Over Literary Substance
Guillermo Del Toro tackles Gothic Romance in his latest feature Crimson Peak. Once more Del Toro is a master of creating stunning visuals and a beautifully elegant production design, but leaves much to be desired with a predictable story line that falls flat rather than thrill. The story follows the budding novelist Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) who clashes with publishers who refuse to invest … [Read more...]
The Pirate Fairy now on Blu-Ray Combo Pack #PirateFairyBloggers
I received one or more of the products mentioned below. No compensation was received. All opinions are my own. Peter Pan is a childhood tale that we're all familiar with and love; and with a fantasy world as vast as Neverland, it's only natural to be curious as to what some of the other characters' lives are like. Disney took that 'what if' scenario and developed a new Peter Pan inspired … [Read more...]
An Interview with Tom Hiddleston aka Loki in The Avengers #TheAvengersEvent
I never thought I would fall for a villain. But then again, none have been played by Tom Hiddleston before. That lady clearly knew what I was about to find out first hand. When I was told we were to interview Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, the main villain in the upcoming The Avengers, I thought oh cool- Loki is a great villain- and I expected that it would make for some great character … [Read more...]
