How To Get Your Ex Back
Submitted by RyanHalloway on September 1, 2009 - 10:23amPerhaps you’ve already heard someone say “How to get back my ex?” Often, they would break into sobs and be completely lost in overwhelming grief. This is normal. In fact, most people who have lost their husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend are scarred for life and have never really fully recovered. Well, break up can be that devastating.

Looking for Custom Essays on Western Movies
Submitted by ChristinaMaryRo... on May 18, 2009 - 9:38pmWestern films can be compared to a distinctive writing style. Writers like Jane Austen and Ernest Hemingway developed a style they would become famous for. It’s the same with Western movies. All of them feature cowboys, damsels in distress, and lots of gunfights.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Submitted by miss_niki on February 22, 2009 - 12:47pmDirected by David Fincher
3 stars
::spoiler alert::
I love David Fincher’s work. I especially love it when he’s paired with Brad Pitt. He brings the grit of his music video background to an extended format, cleans it up a little, but not enough that you don’t still know there’s a layer of filth underneath. I like that. I’m a grit-girl.

Slumdog Millionaire
Submitted by miss_niki on February 22, 2009 - 12:46pmDirected by Danny Boyle
4 stars
::spoiler alert::
I was introduced to this film in two ways:
1. I saw a commercial for it in which there was a lot of Bollywood dancing & high-energy music.
2. My boss told me about walking out of it about 15 minutes in because the images were disturbing & they were duped into thinking it was the feel-good movie of the year.
Milk

Why did I not know this story already? Oh … that’s right. Because there isn’t a “LGBT History Month” in the United States. Seriously, though, why sometimes do we need Hollywood to feed us our history lessons?

There Will Be Blood
Submitted by miss_niki on January 28, 2008 - 9:32pmDirected by Paul Thomas Anderson
4 stars
::spoiler alert::
From the beginning, the screech of the score & the unnerving tang of the metal against rock set the tone. Not unlike Saving Private Ryan, the first 15 or so minutes of this movie are painful to watch. There’s no dialogue, no flashy MTV-style editing. Just Daniel Day-Lewis in a shaft. A filthy, life-threatening shaft.
Persepolis
Submitted by miss_niki on January 28, 2008 - 9:09pmDirected by Vincent Paronnaud & Marjane Satrapi
3.5 stars
::spoilers alert::
This film is exactly why I don’t like knowing too much about a film prior to seeing it. Going into the theatre, I expected to view a film in which I wouldn’t be able to tell which black & white drawing was the main character & also in which I would see & hear a lot of political rhetoric about Iran.
