“Tolkien” Struggles to Explain the Magic that Tolkien Effortlessly Captured

May 7, 2019 By Haley 7 Comments

In Tolkien, the new movie based on the early life of J. R. R. Tolkien, myth and romance are the antidote to war. Guest Review by Boze Herrington “To be caught in youth by 1914,” wrote English novelist J. R. R. Tolkien in a second-edition foreword to The Lord of the Rings, “was no less hideous an experience than to be involved in 1939 and the following years. By 1918 all but one of my close … [Read more...]

Let’s start with the one that (to my surprise) disappointed me: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Maybe I should have known that when Rowling branches out from the original canon, it doesn’t seem to go well (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child *cough cough*).

Les Misérables Review and DVD Giveaway!

March 27, 2013 By Haley 169 Comments

Going to the movies is something that happens once in a blue moon for us. Due to the outrageous prices and having to find childcare for the little ones, we’ve gone to the movies once in the past 18 months and we went to see the new Les Misérables. I simply couldn’t miss it because I’ve been a huge fan of the musical since I was a little girl. To be honest, I was anxious that the new film wouldn’t … [Read more...]
