Pirate Radio aka The Boat that Rocked
Pirate Radio aka The Boat that Rocked is a very, very funny movie with a kick ass soundtrack. I don't think I have ever enjoyed the music in a film…
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…
2012
It was a rainy, cold afternoon and just seemed like the perfect day to pop into a warm, dry theater for some mindless entertainment, so I settled on 2012 mainly…
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…

Good Hair
“A woman’s hair is her glory.” Maya Angelou says it in Good Hair and it’s an idea that goes back to biblical times. So no wonder so many women are…
Sunshine Cleaning
I will repeat what I said before; what is the deal with Amy Adams? I don’t get it that she is all over the place, pretty much playing the same…
Capitalism: A Love Story
Michael Moore makes controversial films. To call them documentaries is a miscategorization, though there really isn’t a word for what he does. He juxtaposes ideas, images, and words and lets…
The Brothers Bloom
What is it about Adrien Brody that is so attractive? He is not classically handsome. It’s the eyes. Those sad puppy eyes. In The Brothers Bloom he plays the younger…
