SCENE & HEARD: The Twilight Saga – Breaking Dawn, Part 2

November 28th, 2012 Grace Duffy

For many, the passing of the Twilight franchise on film (for now anyway) will be something of a relief, if not a cause for celebration. Yet for this sad little loser, it was an emotional affair.

Scene & Heard: The Raid: Redemption

August 20th, 2012 Grace Duffy

It’s unusual, at this stage of the year, to feel like 2012 has already reached its cinematic peak. No, I don’t mean The Dark Knight Rises or The Avengers – although both were pretty terrific. I’m talking about the fabulous Indonesian martial arts movie that appeared out of nowhere to take the movie world by storm earlier this year.
