We’ve moved our host server. We are now located at www.theflickchicks.net. This site will remain up for a while but all new posts will be at the new address. Since we’ve moved, would someone mind cleaning up after us for the landlord. Thanks.

Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Chick 1 says:
The fifth and my favorite in the series so far, I watched this last night with a friend who hadn’t seen it yet. We were preping for the upcoming July release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth movie and number one on my I Can’t Wait List for summer.
The Basics: Harry’s fifth year at Hogwarts is a bleak one indeed but he also begins to grow into the leader he’s destined to be. Read the rest of this entry »

Randomness: So What Is Lens Flare? And Why Should I Care?
Chick 1 says:
Chick 2 can explain this better than I but for our loyal readers who are wondering, “What is lens flare and why should I care?” Here are a couple of examples of flare from the Star Trek movie. (No, it’s not something they make the waiters at Chotsky’s wear.) I’ll leave the technical explanations to Wendy Jo.
I loved the movie but the flare drove me crazy. I don’t mind it as an occasional mood setter but too much gets in the way of seeing the action.
I get it. I get it. There are a lot of bright lights on the ship and alot of shooting into suns & stars so naturally there will be some flare but come on!
Discuss.

Casting Notes

Here’s a tidbit for Chick 2. There still may be another Lemony Snicket movie. Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events is a series of children’s books. In 2004 a movie of the same name was released starring Jim Carrey, directed by Brad Siberling, and based upon the first 3 books in the series. I had read several of the books and enjoyed them but didn’t know if they could be adapted. Read the rest of this entry »

Sing it with me now, “When Cameron was in Egypt land, Let my Cameron go.”
Cameron Frye’s house, complete with car museum, is for sale in Highland Park, IL, just outside Chicago. Ferrari sold seperately. You can see pictures at the realtor’s website. If you decide to purchase, I’ll be expecting a finder’s fee.

On My Radar: Shymalan, Carrey, & Willis
Chick 1 says:
New category. Movies that are On My Radar are more developed than Casting News but haven’t quite won a place on my I Can’t Wait! list. So, a couple of interesting blips popped up this week.
The Last Airbender: M. Night Shymalan is currently directing the movie version of Nickelodeon’s series of the same name. I’ve never seen it so I have no idea what it’s about but I’m glad to see Shymalan branching out. Read the rest of this entry »
