Hey guys! It hasn't been too long but it feels like it. It's been the first week here of freshmen year of college, and so far it's been okay. Meeting new people (most of whom talk about consuming alcohol just as much as they actually consume it; I don't drink/smoke, so...), getting used to my new living environment (including finding privacy with two roommates who like to bring others in a lot), and classes (which aren't bad really at all). I'll...

Woody Allen's got a way with the ladies. As Oscar has shown time and time again, the (mostly) supporting girls in his films have attracted Academy attention with nominations and a few wins -- all distinctive in their own quirked out way, in films that took a different route of getting to a human core. Some of these nominees are generally known in a broad sense to be inexplicable, theatrically quotable, incredibly beloved, or even a little unbalanced....
Da' Nominees Are...* Joan Allen in Nixon* Mira Sorvino in Mighty Aphrodite* Mare Winningham in Georgia* Kathleen Quinlan in Apollo 13* Kate Winslet in Sense and SensibilityThe five ladies that make up the distinctive, solid category in this vaguely dull year (Braveheart? Mel Gibson??) are sharp standouts and five performances that have been in high honor among those in the blogosphere -- each garnering varying amounts of respect and love, where four...

* Click on picture to watch the full movie *~~~~~A while back I did a post about a Halloween fan film that caught my attention, and even despite it's flaws, oddly interested me with a subtle charm and genuine (though not always precise) nostalgic dedication. Not too too long ago I had heard about a tribute/fan film with an interesting title and twist: Judith, a "prequel" to the original film which gives us a little more than a glimpse into the older...

I have been in talks some people about a continuation of the Supporting Actress feature on MovieMania, but with a little twist to open things up for others to contribute. It's been a dry summer for me (literally and figuratively) but not really a bad. The blog has been sitting for a bit due to mainly my mild writer's block and the preparation for college in a few weeks. It's exciting yet a bit nerve-racking...

The ending to the rarely broadcasted TV cut that switches the movie around quite a bit and especially turns a darker, eerie conculsion into one that ends on a happier note.Just as the ambulance is about to pull away, a white sheet pops up behind Laurie......to reveal the warm-hearted acquaintance she made the night before named Jimmy.Laurie's face of fear crumbles into a wave of thankful, stunned relief as she realizes that she won't be the only...

Only a few days ago did I hear of the news that the fan-favorite sequel Halloween 2 is going to be released for a anniversary special edition in September of this year, but the main problem is...it is only being released in Blu-Ray! I don't understand why, especially after fans have been dying for the extra material, they wouldn't simply extend the much awaited release to the DVD format for even more people to enjoy, and for their...

George Lucas' enormous return to the screen, gave the end of a great decade the Movie Event, which sent even non Star Wars disciples into a frenzy of excitement, hype, and hope. It was to the '90s what Batman and Avatar were to the '80s and '00s; mounting a spectacle for film lovers to gather around and cheer with one another. The turn out was something a bit different, with the public split, eliciting cries of joy and anger from different sides...

It's been a while since I've gone back and revisited the whole Star Wars franchise all at once, and with a real critical eye besides a simple thumbs up or down. They are movies that even die hard fans are divided over, though generally consensus' have been formed as to which ones are truly great films and which are slumming in crucial and essential elements. I tend to agree with them for the most part, with one or two exceptions, but overall...

Baby Doll (1956)_____________________"Strange, sad, and sexy, but only occasionally thoughtful in its organic absurdity....Baker's performance, however, is a quiet triumph." ____________________--The combination of playwright Tennessee Williams and director Elia Kazan gave 1950's Hollywood something that had rarely been felt or experienced by any kind of public, movie-going or not. A public that had been accustomed to straight-laced...

Sorry it's been years (i.e. a week) since I've posted, I've been getting out of school and everything and two days ago was actually my graduation! So it's been a bit hectic but exciting currently. But anyways...This is one of the scenes that was filmed for the TV broadcasting of the movie in 1981 when the sequel was being released, and that was added to a limited DVD release about ten years ago. In total, all the new footage adds about...
