We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jul 11, 2012
For those of you looking for a good vampire movie to bite into, Film Fresh is streaming some classics and new films, including the musical “I Kissed A Vampire.” They gave me the opportunity to write another guest blog on vampire movies, which (luckily for me) just happens to coincide wi read more
Batmonth Tipsy Twilight Tweet-A-Thon Recap
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jul 8, 2012
Starting Batmonth off right, my friends Dori, Gabe from Beer And A Movie, and I went to an outdoor screening of “Twilight” at Street Food Cinema. We had a surprisingly fun time considering the film quality (fortunately with Gabe, the beer quality is always excellent). In case you misse read more

We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jul 1, 2012
“I Walked With A Zombie” isn’t the only strange adaptation of “Jane Eyre.” There have been 16 movies, 4 radio plays, 11 made-for-TV-movies, a graphic novel, and at least 15 books. Out of all of those versions, here are the five weirdest: Where oh where is my Oscar? How could you give read more
Oscars Outdoors: A Star Is Born Revisited
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jun 30, 2012
Oscars Outdoors is a fantastic summer movie series put on by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. (Full disclosure: The Academy does not pay me, but I show up anyway.) Each Friday and Saturday night this summer the Academy sets up a big screen on a lawn across from the Mary Pickford read more
I Walked With A Zombie Jane Eyre
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jun 26, 2012
Before “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,” before “World War Z,” “The Walking Dead,” or even “Night of the Living Dead,” there was a zombie movie based on “Jane Eyre.” Because “I Walked With A Zombie” (1943 dir. Jacques Tourner) is B.R. read more
“Alien” & “Prometheus”: Movies That Make Childbirth Terrifying
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jun 13, 2012
(For those of you who don’t want to read this review for fear of spoilers, I promise you that I only spoil one scene, and it’s for your own good.) When Ridley Scott told interviewers that “Prometheus” contains the DNA of “Alien” (1979 dir. Scott), he was being li read more

We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jun 3, 2012
Hey everyone, the Internet is down this week while we move, so there won’t be a post today. Get ready next weekend though, as Prometheus opens June 8th! read more
Harry Potter Guest Blog at Film Fresh!
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on May 22, 2012
Hey everyone! As you may have noticed, there’s no blog this week. Instead, I had the fun challenge of discussing the eight “Harry Potter” movies in 300 words over at the Film Fresh blog. Not an easy task, I assure you. Film Fresh is a movie-streaming website with the kind of dive read more
Countdown to The Avengers: The Avengers!
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on May 10, 2012
“Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod!” After seeing “The Avengers” last weekend, I promised my friend Eric I’d start the post this way. This sentiment is currently echoed by audiences all over the United States as they watch the action-fueled, surprisingly funny film by writer/director Joss Whedon. read more
Countdown To The Avengers: Why The Marvel Cinema-verse Matters
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Apr 25, 2012
As I watched the latest installments in my Countdown to “The Avengers,” I had a revelation: Marvel is attempting something virtually unprecedented in modern moviemaking with the Avengers movies, something that is perhaps only possible in today’s franchise-hungry Hollywood. Marvel brings read more
“Ben-Hur” For Easter
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Apr 8, 2012
Happy Easter and Passover everyone! When deciding on an Easter movie, I had a wealth of films to choose from. But since I’m not Catholic enough to appreciate “The Passion of the Christ,” not stoic enough to labor through “The Greatest Story Ever Told,” and not on enoug read more
The Adaptation Games: “The Hunger Games” As Book And Movie
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Mar 28, 2012
I’ll be honest; even though I saw “The Hunger Games” (2012 dir. Gary Ross starring Jennifer Lawrence) at midnight on Thursday, I hesitated when deciding what to write about it. This is partially because so much has been written about it already, and I wasn’t sure how to add my voice to the read more
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Marry Brunettes, and Ignore Censors
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Mar 12, 2012
Since we’ve primarily talked about remakes so far, I thought we should move on to another kind of Hollywood recycling: the sequel. Now, while it’s true that some sequels end up becoming equal to or better than the original (“The Godfather Part II,” “Toy Story II,” “The Empire Strikes read more
Some Oscars History WRM Style!
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Feb 26, 2012
Tonight are the 84th Academy Awards, so in honor of Hollywood’s big night I thought I’d share some Oscar history with you, We Recycle Movies style. I went through all 84 years and 492-odd nominated films to crunch the numbers on how many of these illustrious films are recycled. Turns o read more
My Bloody Valentines: A Beer And A Movie Crossover Event
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Feb 12, 2012
Nobody likes being alone on Valentine’s Day, so with that in mind I invited over Gabe Feinberg from the fantastic blog Beer And A Movie to indulge in every single person’s secret Valentine’s wish: watching couples suffer. We chose “My Bloody Valentine,” a 1981 “ read more
A Star Is Born In New York, New York (1977)
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jan 29, 2012
If “A Star Is Born” is a love letter to Hollywood’s myth about Hollywood, then “New York New York” (1977 starring Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro) is a love letter to Hollywood’s myth about New York. Director Martin Scorsese uses his films to explore many face read more
A Star Is Forced Upon The Audience For Two Painful Hours (1976)
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jan 22, 2012
I think it says a lot for my commitment to this project that I actually sat through all of the terrible 1976 “A Star Is Born” starring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. I almost gave up the project right here. However, thinking of you, dear readers, I persevered. Now I just have to read more
A Greater Star Is Born (1954)
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jan 14, 2012
The 1954 version of “A Star Is Born” (starring Judy Garland and James Mason) is undoubtedly the best. Made when the studio system was teetering towards disaster, the film perfectly captures the contradiction of Hollywood in the ‘50s: filled to the brink with glitzy sets and lavish musical read more
The First Star Is Born (1937)
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jan 9, 2012
The original “A Star Is Born” (1937 starring Janet Gaynor and Frederic March) is a Depression-era fable about the joys and sorrows of Hollywood. Though the first of its name, the story is actually lifted from an earlier Depression-era fable about the joys and sorrows of Hollywood called “What read more
A Blog is (re)Born!
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jan 6, 2012
Now is the time for making New Years Resolutions and breaking them the next week, and in that spirit I have resolved to resurrect this blog! For the brief time it existed, this blog happily occupied my mind, and even though I haven’t written anything for almost six months, the damn thing keeps itch read more
