Rock the Boat

Ok...I am shamelessly avoiding studying for my finals right now but why not let all of you benefit from my procrastination?  I wanted to let you know my pick for the best looking film this summer.  It's called The Boat That Rocked and it's got Bill Nighy and Philip Seymour Hoffman.  It centers around a group of people broadcasting "pirate radio" from a boat in the English Channel.  This is of course scandalous because as you and I both know...rock and roll is the central cause of all manner of terrible behavior.  It seems like a generally fun time especially for those of you who secretly dream of sticking it to the man while blasting an array of classic rock music (you know who you are).  I think it's a really unique film that stands out amoungst the piles of terrible parody and remake flicks that seem to be poplar right now (hello Dance Flick and Land of the Lost) It's already out in the UK but I will for sure be seeing this movie on August 28th when it comes out here in the states and I hope you will too! Check out the trailer!

Hey Guess What....

I've decided to join the blogging world....I figure I read enough blogs that I might as well jump on the band wagon.  So this blog won't be about the life and times of Julia (although those might be interesting enough) but I've decided to make a blog dedicated to my love of film.  I watch an average of 3 movies a week so i've decided to share my love of the silver screen with all of you.  Once a week (hopefully) i'll be posting about one of the movies i've seen recently and talk about whether or not I recommend it.  As I also LOVE trailers, I might be giving some heads up about up coming films that you should check out.  So I'll try to get one up this week (even though it's finals) and keep going strong through the summer.  Until then....BYE!
