Fantastically Dark Trailer for “Jane Eyre”

Nov 10. 2010

Jane Eyre is one of my all-time favorite books, so I was thrilled to see this trailer for the newest movie adaptation. Directed by Cary Fukunaga, the film seems to have a dark, stylish feel that brings a modern twist to a story that is set in the 1800s. I love the fact that it treads on the thriller genre, because I have always believed that Jane Eyre is a thriller/mystery as much as it is a love story.

Guest Post: The Dangers of Singling out the Senses

Oct 25. 2010

Today we have another fantastic post by Nick. Here he talks about a topic I briefly spoke of in the past: new technology at the movies. While I am a self-proclaimed geek, I remain a traditionalist when it comes to certain topics (ie, opting for books over e-readers) and the moviegoing experience is one that I prefer old-fashioned as well. Nick does an excellent job of defending his stance against new technology at the movies, and I wholeheartedly agree with every word. That being said, I must confess that I am guilty of forking over $15 to watch Resident Evil: Afterlife in 3D...
