(Dir. Tate Taylor Starring: Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer)
The cast had a spectacular wardrobe.
And really? Yay, a film about racism! In the South. This could get super duper political, but I’ll try my best not to, I swear. Brownie’s promise.

Why I Liked... War Horse (2011)
(Dir. Steven Spielberg Starring: Horse from Seabiscuit)
I love horses and horse films.
Except...well. In Black Beauty the horse was the narrator (with an incredibly impressive vocabulary for a horse). National Velvet had a young Elizabeth Taylor in a stunning role. When I saw The Horse Whisperer, it was roughly around the same time when I had my first fall off a horse. And Hidalgo had Viggo Mortensen in it.
‘Nuff said.

Oscars 2012 Nominations
Yes. I know. I'm back and are there any TIFF reviewed films? No, no there are not. But there will be (one day). I swear.
For now, however-I give you the nominees...(predictions pending)

Why I Liked... Special TIFF '11 Edition
There’s no such thing as too early when it comes to lining up for tickets.
There’s no such thing as not having a credit card be an excuse when it comes to lining up for tickets.
There’s no such thing as shoddy reception on your phone when it comes to lining up for tickets.
There’s no such thing as too many snacks when it comes to lining up for tickets.
You all getting this? I’m passing on VALUABLE INFORMATION here. Take it, use it, abuse it, fuse it...? I don’t know, I’m running on no sleep right now (I’m writing this before I take my nap), but it seemed like a good rhyme at the time.

Why I Liked... Wild Target (2010)
(Dir. Jonathan Lynn Starring: Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint)
A really cute plot.
Yeah, that’s what I liked about this film. Bear with.

Why I Liked... Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011)
(Dir. David Yates Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson)
HARREH POTTAAAHHH!!
Oh, my childhood. My beautiful, bookish childhood that turned quickly into a nerdy, outcast-ish adolescence. It has come to a cinematic end. And what an ending that was.

Why I Liked... Writing And Other Artistic Pursuits (My Life)
Hello all,
So yes, I can admit that it's been quite the while since I've posted here...bad me, bad! But truth be told, I've been in quite the writing rut lately. Normally when I can't write fiction I can write fact (and vice versa), but it's been a terrible combination this past month.
I honestly thought that once I had seen Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 that I'd be back on my game, but...well, it's not like I got depressed, I just stopped writing. Sadly.
But seriously-I'll get back to it all, I promise. I'm also thinking of adding a new feature to this bloggo (I know, right? Way to over-extend, G...), one that I hope you'll all appreciate. And figure out on your own. It'll be at my own pride's expense, so I hope you might find it amusing. Somewhat. And hey, I gotta make this place a little more original, don't I?
