Before I get into this review, let me give everyone a fair warning: if you haven't read the first book of the series, City of Bones, I will spoil most of what happened there for you since it's impossible not to, when talking about City of Ashes. If you're here just because you're curious whether or not...
How excited was I about this new Superman movie? Much more than I thought I would be. Let's get one thing straight: I did not grow up on comic books and superheros, so when movies like this one come out I kind of treat them as average sci-fi action - I enjoy watching them and forget about them as soon as I'm done...
Who doesn't like a good magic trick? Except, at least for me, magic tricks look much less impressive on the screen than they do live. With today's technologies, one can make pretty much anything look realistic on film. For this reason, when I saw the trailer for Now You See Me, I was on the fence about...
And now for something completely different... I went to see a limited release movie. It wasn't only because the films released this past weekend didn't really interest me - I genuinely wanted to see Mud ever since I first saw the trailer. Unfortunately, limited releases can be hard to catch and I tend to forget when...
I've been on the lookout for a good clear brow gel for a while. I decided to give the Sonia Kashuk one a try and, while I was looking for it at Target, I saw this Arch Alert brow kit. I thought it would be a good idea to experiment with a cream brow product and picked up the quad along with the brow gel...
OCC Lip Tars have been a topic of beauty conversation for a while now, but personally I was weirded out by the packaging. Call me old fashioned - I'm used to lipstick being in a twist-up tube. That being said, I was passing by an OCC display at Sephora and the bright colors caught my eye. I was amazed by the pigmentation and...
I have another movie review for you today, as you can tell. I can't help it - all of the movies I want to see are coming out right now! When it comes to Star Trek, my official introduction to it happened in 2009, when the first J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie came out. I was never a "trekkie" growing up and barely knew anything about the subject...
Here we go again with a book-to-screen adaption getting mixed reviews. I'm coming to a conclusion that there is no such thing as an adaptation that makes the majority of people happy. I'm not saying I'm any good at separating films from the literary works they are based on - in fact, I contribute my good share of...
Leave it to me to enjoy a movie that is getting mixed reviews. Maybe I'm just into post-apocalyptic science fiction or maybe it's the fact that I think Tom Cruise can do no wrong as an actor - either way, I really did like this movie. Were the visuals more powerful than the story? Eh... I guess. But I still thought it was pretty epic...
