A Single Man
A Single Man is a good movie, but not an entertaining one. Colin Firth delivers a quietly stunning performance as George Falconer, a middle-aged college professor struggling to get through…
Chéri
I heard about Chéri when it was around, but being in small town USA, it was only here for an instant and I missed it. Fortunately, it is now on…
The Road
Another post-apocalyptic movie? Seems there can't be too many of them these days. The difference though with The Road is that it has a real story and isn't reliant on…
Invictus
Two questions come to mind when you watch Clint Eastwood's new feel good movie Invictus. Did rugby really make that big a difference in race relations in South Africa? And…
The Blind Side
Simply put: If you liked Jerry Maguire or Antwone Fisher (both excellent films, by the way) then you’ll definitely like The Blind Side. It’s not so much a movie about…
The Twilight Saga: New Moon
New Moon is a guilty pleasure for fans of the Twilight series. It starts off a bit slow, but eventually sucks you in (yes, pun intended). I actually liked it…
Precious
I went to see Precious expecting to tear up during the first scene and go through a box of tissues by the ending, but the trailer gave the wrong impression…
Fantastic Mr. Fox
It shouldn’t come as any big surprise to Chickflix fans that Fantastic Mr. Fox has made its way onto our friendly little blog. After all, it stars the voice of…
The Men Who Stare at Goats
Watching George Clooney do nearly anything for an hour and a half is worth the price of admission in my opinion (though I do wish he’d give us another romantic…

Fall Flicks
So, what is coming up this fall? More for the chicks, one can only hope. Usually, post-summer we get back to having adult fare and start the march to the…
The Time Traveler’s Wife
This is definitely one of those movies where it helps to have read the book. In fact, I doubt anyone who hasn’t read the book - a best-seller by Audrey…
Julie & Julia
Meryl Streep has channeled Julia Child. She is marvelous. I love her. Like Julia, I love food and I love cooking, so this movie spoke to me, though I am…
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
At two hours and thirty-three minutes in running length, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince could easily grow tiresome. But somehow, I was surprised when it ended. That is…
Public Enemies
Let me start by saying I am a big Johnny Depp fan. I loved him in "Chocolat" and "Finding Neverland", even the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy. He's one of…
Nine
I think musicals by their very nature are chick flicks, and "9" is a great one. I saw it on Broadway when it came out in 1982 with Raul Julia…
