Here at Rooster Illusion we try not be redundant. As such, we only run multiple reviews of the same movie if opinions vary drastically. For example, both the Tuesday Zone and I have critiqued Zero Dark Thirty, because we disagreed on a few major points. I had only once felt the inclination to re-review a…
Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 Some people have a real problem watching adaptations without having first read the source material. By and large, this doesn’t bother me. I do, however, have difficulty watching movies based on Shakespeare if I haven’t read the play. It’s not so bad with his comedies, because…

As I wrapped up my exams and was still unmotivated to finish my papers, I once again…
Oh, man, let me tell y’all about my awesome Wednesday. So, it started out unlike a regular Wednesday. Normally, I get to sleep in on Wednesdays, but I had to wake up early for an extra section of my theatre class. This didn’t bother me, though, because rather than an actual class, we were just…
