Oh the joys of celebrity…

Let me start off this post by saying that I am an E! junkie. As I’m writing this, I’m currently watching re-runs of that obnoxious show “Kendra.” You know, the one with the ex-girlfriend of Hugh Hefner trying to drink that last drop of stardom before the cup runs completely dry. I have to admit […]

The Social Network

Unwind readers, I have a confession to make. You may be wondering why I’m making a confession, coming clean so early in this relationship, but here goes: I’m a Facebook-fanatic. Okay, glad we got that out of the way. I feel better now. I’ll admit to using my “study time” to creep all of my […]

Latest Movie Sensation

Right, I should be saying goodbye like my fellow bloggers. I’m also graduating and moving on into the big people world. But I can’t. Why? Because, hello, Iron Man 2 and Robin Hood just came out. After a year of reviewing movies and general entertainment, how I can let the newest and latest entertainment storm […]

My Generation’s Answer to Citizen Kane

Oh, hi Unwind readers. So, I’m doing something even more different this week:  I’m not going to talk about books at all.  As you (probably don’t) know, last week I ranted about my generation’s lack of affinity for reading.  This week, I’d like to present a cautionary tale regarding what happens when people who are […]

Ooh, who lives in a pineapple

Let’s talk about the phenomenon that is Spongebob Squarepants. He’s everywhere. Everyone knows who he is. He’s a cultural norm – you make a reference to anything Spongebob and 4 out of 5 people are going to get it instantly. Spongebob is this generation’s Bugs Bunny. And it’s just the story of a fry-cook sponge […]

Outpost

Unfortunately, I find myself inundated with papers and the necessity to study for looming midterms–no substantive book review or commentary this time, folks.  After spring break, I’ll weave wondrous literary posts, I assure you. Until then, study hard.  Maybe see a bad movie.  Can I recommend The Room?

Can’t Say Too Much…

Spectacular. That’s all that needs to be said, truthfully. Spec-tac-u-lar. Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland enthralls and inspires. The CG effects (that literally pop in 3D) and the acting of Johnny Depp (Mad Hatter), Helena Bonham Carter (Red Queen), and Mia Wasikowska (Alice) draw you in. There’s no escaping Wonderland here.

This movie shows us the end of the world with politics and the average Joe trying to survive.

Shutter Island – See It

Martin Scorsese latest movie, Shutter Island, is a dark, devious, punch-in-the face brain tease. And it’s spectacular. This intense psychological thriller will leave you shaken, shocked, thinking and talking. The wicked atmosphere alone of this movie will leave an impression, let alone the plot and characters. From the opening scene, where you meet a sea-sick […]

Long title, but worth it…

Today sees the movie release of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief. Now, this movie has received a lot of hype (but clever hype, seeing how it’s just the same trailer reformatted over and over again). As a rule of thumb, movies that receive a lot of hype tend to run sour in […]
