Well, my English exam is done and dusted. I think the essays went beyond well, as long as I answered the questions the way they were supposed to be answered (I have huge issues with that...I guess that's because I write well without any purpose, which kind of defeats the purpose of writing). And now, I'll never have to think of The Shawshank Redemption or World War One poems ever again. Since it is a week until my next exam, I can hunker down tonight and watch a few movies. I only really have Arthur Christmas and Killer Joe on tap, but I do have to watch another Nicolas Cage movie before tomorrow so that will fill in the night.
Video of the week...
Warm Bodies looks like so much fun. Even if my boy Nicholas Hoult is a zombie...he makes a pretty cute one. And yeah, that's all I have to say about that one.
Just a random picture to get you into the Christmas spirit...

I was made to put up Christmas decorations at work in the weekend, and all I could think about was making the entire window The Dark Knight Rises themed. Because The Dark Knight Rises comes out at the end of this month and I don't know about you, but I love that film. So that's the tinsel Batman I made, and I just need to make a sign and some other stuff. To all you people who didn't like The Dark Knight Rises, just know that Blockbuster Dannevirke will have a cool Christmas window because of it. Boom.
Links...
Josh has his early Oscar predictions up, which reminds me...I should probably get onto mine. But I literally don't know anything because I haven't seen anything.
Sarah reviews the criminally underrated Tyrannosaur, which is one film that I could never sit through again.
Steven reviews Jack and Diane, a movie starring Riley Keough and Juno Temple which looks extremely odd, but in a slightly intriguing way.
Mettel has made her Movie Alphabet into a blogathon. Go submit your entries and keep an eye out for mine, coming later this week!
Also sharing the love for Anne Hathaway on her birthday was Sati. Plus, this most comes complete with gorgeous pictures.
It seems that Alex was rather overwhelmed by Rust and Bone...be sure to check out his enthusiastic review on one of my most anticipated films.
Candice lists down five black actors who could take on the role of James Bond. We all know that Idris Elba is headed for the 007, though.
It seems that Ryan quite loved Lincoln. I'm always excited for anything Spielberg, but it has taken me a while to get excited for this one...but I totally am now.
Final word...
What is your favourite 'limited release' movie of 2012 so far?
So far, it's Moonrise Kingdom. I haven't gone out to the art house theaters as of late.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link love.
Moonrise Kingdom is a film which I still need to see. I probably should have seen it in cinemas, but oh well.
DeleteThere isn't a concept of limited release in India. Still, I guess Moonrise Kingdom so far.
ReplyDeleteI so want to watch Warm Bodies. It looks hilarious, even though they tell the whole story in the trailer. Also Black Keys music- woo hoo!
Killer Joe is out on DVD??
Haha, there isn't a concept of it here either...unless we count the arthouse theatre there is over in Palmy.
DeleteKiller Joe is out on DVD here, which is strange, because it is still another month away in America.
Ugh, Christmas stuff. Don't get me wrong, I like the holiday. Just not the fact it's hyped up the minute Halloween's over. (I wish advertisers would wait until Black Friday to promote their holiday sales.)
ReplyDeleteFavorite indie release...um, either Moonrise Kingdom or Beasts of the Southern Wild.
Haha, I know. The only reason I put it up so early was because it was so quiet at work that I was just about to lose my hours...the very few that I had :(
DeleteBeast of the Southern Wild! So wish I saw that at the film festival.
I second Nikhat with "Killer Joe is out on DVD??" I look forward to your review of it.
ReplyDeleteFavorite Indie release..probably Moonrise Kingdom.
It is indeed. It was INSANE! I will be reviewing it on Friday.
DeleteMy favourite limited release is Abitrage, which also happens to be my favourite film of the year so far.
ReplyDeleteI really want to see that, mainly because Brit Marling is in it.
DeleteThanks so much for the link! Overwhelmed is exactly what I was and am from that film. Whew.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to take part in Mettel's blogathon.
I hope I experience the same!
DeleteFavorite Realease Moonrise Kingdom, but I'm still waiting to see The Master and Lincoln which won't come out very soon for me
ReplyDeleteThe Master and Lincoln still don't have release dates here :( Along with The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which I really want to see.
DeleteThanks for the link! Yeah, you should get onto that. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite limited release is Oslo, August 31st.
I will soon!
DeleteI really want to see that movie, I've heard it is really good!
My favorite limited release movie of 2012 so far is a tie between Being Flynn and Ruby Sparks.
ReplyDeleteBoth starring Paul Dano, I see. I would really like to see both of them!
