I've never been a big fan of the action genre. Don't ask me why but while all my friends were harking on the virtues of 300 I was more interested in seeing The Queen. In fact, if it was up to me I would have seen The Queen instead of 300 one spring afternoon. But due to the fact that our movie selection was at the whim of other teenagers 300 ruled. I ended up seeing both and while The Queen now

This is my first post of this nature so I'll briefly explain it. Every Tuesday I play to write up a post that discusses the thoughts, ideas and themes behind one or two films. I will generally default to the theatrical release I see but if don't have one on a given week I'll pick the one I think has the most worth talking about.

If I could only watch one film from one studio each year it would easily be Pixar's yearly release.

Poor Molly, the book hasn't even started and she's already dead. I have to be honest, one of my pet peeves is the use of the death of a character as a mere plot device.
