Sunday, November 17, 2013. The Best Man Holiday," Films, Black Films, and Wtfery. This started as a Facebook post but kept getting longer and longer. That's when I realized that it's been damn near three months since I've posted anything here. Anyway, a friend linked to this. On her FB page, and I have to say it pissed me off so much that it brought me out of blogging hibernation. The article's writer, Scott Bowles. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What Makes a Fangirl? Is good for you. Buy the Book at Lulu.

Diary of A Fangirl--Home of the Squee: MAGIC MIKE XXL: Review
http://jillrobisfangirl.blogspot.com/2015/07/magic-mike-xxl-review.html
Tuesday, July 7, 2015. MAGIC MIKE XXL: Review. One of the first posts I made on this blog was about my going to the "Magic Mike" premier. I didn't love it. There were a lot of things that were very problematic, and the only bits I cared about were of Channing Tatum dancing. But "Magic Mike XXL," well.Channing's body and its movement are still very much magical, but there were some other nice bits along the way. Here they are in no particular order:. JADA PINKETT-SMITH as ROME. Along with Jada, there's Da...

Diary of A Fangirl--Home of the Squee: March 2014
http://jillrobisfangirl.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2014. While I have not read the books, I was all too curious to see the latest in teen film phenomena (presumably), "Divergent." In addition to it taking place and being filmed in my awesome city of Chicago, was based on the novel by Veronica Roth, who wrote the first one as her thesis for a creative writing class at Northwestern University. I think this would have been a role better suited for Saoirse Ronan or Michelle Trachtenberg. Meeting Josh Holloway and Ian Somerhalder. TV Guid...

Diary of A Fangirl--Home of the Squee: June 2015
http://jillrobisfangirl.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 13, 2015. Going into this film, I had the idea in my head that the magic from the first film would be impossible to capture [ever again]. And I was right. Is what definitely elevates the film. HELLLLLLLL no." But yes, it made me briefly lament that Jurassic World (well, parts of it) wasn't real. And then the musical score- they basically stole the sheets from "Jurassic Park," and played with my nostalgia through my ears. Manipulative, but effective. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Diary of A Fangirl--Home of the Squee: July 2014
http://jillrobisfangirl.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Going into the pre-screening for this film, my expectations weren't terribly high due to my slight ambivalence over its predecessor. I didn't really care about any of the characters; actually wanted one or two of the main characters to just die already. This film, however, turns it all the round. That being said, this movie is not goretastic (that's a made up word, I know)- one of the most chilling deaths, involving lots of machetes, we don't even get to see. I am thankful for...

Tuesday, August 5, 2014. Or as it's better known as-. Let's Be Psych- The F/X Edition". Let's Be Cops" is a buddy film that involves an odd couple of bros who are also BFFs for the last ten years or so. You have. Ryan, who's unemployed and likes to relive the glory days of his youth, goofing around, living off of a small fortune he got a couple of years ago from a herpes commercial. Then you have. Has only been off the air for one season, but I do miss their bromance and shenanigans. Look out, Jonah and ...

Diary of A Fangirl--Home of the Squee: Maleficent and the Power of Pure Love
http://jillrobisfangirl.blogspot.com/2014/05/maleficent-and-power-of-pure-love.html
Saturday, May 31, 2014. Maleficent and the Power of Pure Love. Love, and not true love. Note: Very mild spoilers. Admittedly, I am a HUGE Angelina fan, but I did in fact go into this film as an impartial viewer. If it had sucked, I would be honest and say that it did, but it did not. Feel of "Avatar." Though the whimsy is short lived, and only present for a fraction of the time. This film is not only dark in tone, but in design (and with great, valid reason). Maleficent becomes bitter and enraged, appoin...

Tuesday, August 27, 2013. Diary of a Fangirl: Miley Cyrus' Grotesque VMA Performance. There are many articles popping up ( such as this one. Stating that Miley Cyrus is privileged and shouldn't be using aspects of "black" culture. Here's what I think: I have to say that I don't like the idea that those particular things are associated with black culture. Sure they're part of some kind of culture- ghetto culture or ratchet culture- but not black. I'm also not oppressed by that. Friday, August 23, 2013.
