FREE MOVIE PASSES: See Natalie Portman in “Annihilation” EARLY & FOR FREE

If you’re a fan of the Southern Reach book series, then you already know what Annihilation is about. If you’re like the rest of us who AREN’T familiar with the books, you’ll probably watch this trailer and think, “What tha HELL is going on here?”
Natalie Portman stars as a woman who joins a dangerous expedition in hopes of saving her husband. That’s really all I could figure out, other than there’s something that looks like a bubble over everything that’s turning people into monsters. The coolest thing about Annihilation though, is the cast. Watch the trailer below and tell me what YOU think is different about it.

Talking About SCARY MOVIES (& Not-So-Scary November Releases) on GOOD MORNING TEXAS

I joined Jane McGarry and Alanna Sarabia today on Good Morning Texas to discuss the big November movies everyone should watch for. Since it’s Halloween, they also asked me to show up in costume and talk about my favorite SCARY movies. I learned a number of things from the costume I wore today (see above), namely that Kylo Ren is forever shutting his skirts in car doors and struggling to keep them out of toilets. Click HERE to watch the segment, and remember to check the Julie Says So FREE MOVIE PASSES page to see what I’m giving away next.

MOVIE REVIEW: “Anomalisa”- I Wasn’t Expecting Doll-Sex

No one walks into a Charlie Kaufman movie expecting the ordinary. He’s made it clear with films like Adaptation, Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind that he has no interest in making a blockbuster. Kaufman wants to challenge his audience and show them something completely out of the ordinary, even if it means infuriating them along with way.

Such is the case with Anomalisa, the tale of a man who has lost his ability to connect with other people. Michael Stone is a successful author as well as a husband and father, but his detachment from the world has left him numb to the point of worry. Even Michael can tell that his disinterest is abnormal but he doesn’t know how to fix it, and probably doesn’t care enough to try. Instead, he stumbles through life, hoping to find the one person who will make a difference. Then he meets Lisa. Continue reading →
