The Slant / The stuff that dreams are made of...

Wow! I went into this movie with limited expectations - I had never really heard of the graphic novels and I've grown somewhat tired of Michael Cera in recent outings. He keeps playing the same character in all of his movies and it began irritating me. Here, as Scott Pilgrim, Cera really shines. However, the acting (which is phenomenal all around) isn't the only thing that makes Scott Pilgrim vs. the World the most enjoyable movie of 2010 so far; the film's style really sets it apart.

I'm Back!

After taking over a year off from my blogging activities, I've decided to give it another go. I'm going to streamline the site though, and really only post information I find interesting concerning my own movie tastes. Movie news will be less visible and I'm going to stick mostly to reviews; I might have some lists or trivia-related segments as well. It's just too much work to update daily! I'm excited to start writing again, just to get some thoughts out there. So without further ado, enjoy reading screen/slant!
