Great Scott! It's that Rocky Horror time of year again!

by kiya@evpl on Thursday, September 30 2010, 3:51pm

October is almost here, and along with the scarecrows, the rustling leaves, and Halloween candy everywhere you look, there are signs of The Rocky Horror Picture Show all around... This year, a whole new generation of folks will be introduced to the movie...

by this.is.not.here@evpl on Tuesday, September 14 2010, 9:06am

Ever get really tired of all the glitz, Hollywood glamour and CGI special effects and long for the days of rubber monsters masks, UFO's made of paper plates, giant insects and storylines that could have been written by a 3rd grader? Well those days...

Christopher Nolan movies you've probably never heard of

by professor.knowsitall@evpl on Tuesday, July 27 2010, 4:14pm

With the success of Batman Begins , The Dark Knight , and the now-in-theaters Inception , Christopher Nolan has become a pretty popular guy. And rightfully so. However, most folks don't realize that Nolan has been making films for over 10 years. As...

Shutter Island... Good or Bad?

by E-Ville Librarian@evpl on Saturday, July 3 2010, 2:51pm

So often I am of a single mind when it comes to liking or disliking a particular movie (just read some of my other posts and you'll see what I mean.) But in the case of the latest Leonardo DiCaprio DVD Release, I am of two minds. Without giving too...

Sherlock Holmes is taking back "deduction" from the IRS

by E-Ville Librarian@evpl on Saturday, April 10 2010, 11:26am

I was really skeptical about the quality of the new " Sherlock Holmes " when I saw how quickly it came to video. However, Robert Downey Jr. has again left me thankful this actor didn't end his days the way of Belushi or Farley. Every time...

Alice in Blunder-I mean, Wonder-land

by PotionsMaster@evpl on Tuesday, March 16 2010, 11:54am

Alright, that sounds a bit melodramatic. It was an enjoyable film. It just suffered from lackluster dialogue, gaping plot holes, and flat characters. After hearing mixed reviews about Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland', I decided it was best...

The Informant

by KickinLibrarian@evpl on Wednesday, March 10 2010, 11:39am

Matt Damon has done some pretty amazing roles since starring in Good Will Hunting back in 1997. While I have never been a huge action movie fan, the Bourne Trilogy is a fan favorite and I made sure to check them out on the big screen. I loved Ocean's...

Coco Avant Chanel (Coco Before Chanel) and The September Issue

by librarianinheels@evpl on Tuesday, March 9 2010, 6:28pm

I love Chanel. Seriously - since childhood, I've been obsessed with someday, somehow owning some tiny piece of Chanel something . I even (somewhere, although sadly I could not dig it up for this post) have a photo of me in West Palm Beach, Florida...

by googler@evpl on Wednesday, February 10 2010, 9:20am

Just in time for Valentine's Day, I ran across this list , published about a year ago, of the best (in their opinion, of course) romantic comedies of the decade. I love movie lists that include at least a few things I've never heard of (which...

by MediaPhile@evpl on Friday, February 5 2010, 3:48pm

Did you know that the director of the recently relased DVD "Moon" -- Duncan Jones (also known as Zowie or Joey) -- is the son of David Bowie? Which is especially intriguing because "Moon" is the ethereal tale of a lonely man finishing...
