All Together Now: Human Connection in 28 Days Later

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on February 29, 2016 by Erin MiskellJune 6, 2016

I saw Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later in the theatre, and I still remember the sense of terror I had when the characters were changing the flat tire in the tunnel. It was the first time that the concept of … Continue reading →

Coming Soon

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on February 28, 2016 by Erin MiskellJune 1, 2016

I had an unintentional theme for this week’s posts: the future. More specficially, how screwed we are in relationship to the future. You have to admit, this is a fairly accurate statement. This week, I’ll be your Tour Guide Barbie as … Continue reading →

Satursday Shorts: Peek a Boo

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on February 27, 2016 by Erin MiskellJune 1, 2016

Fun fact about me: I absolutely fucking hate opening the door when I’m home alone. I don’t mind being alone; that doesn’t bother me in the least. But ring my doorbell, and I tense right up. Doesn’t matter if it’s … Continue reading →

Weekend Movies: Five Reasons to Watch Another Earth

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on February 25, 2016 by Erin MiskellJune 6, 2016

I went in to Mike Cahill’s 2011 offering Another Earth right when it came out, intrigued. The concept of a second Earth suddenly appearing in the sky, as implausible as it is, tickles my science geek. The film tells the story of … Continue reading →

Guilty Pleasures: Road Trip Edition

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on February 24, 2016 by Erin MiskellJune 6, 2016

There’s no nice way to say this: I love Road Trip. Yes, it’s dumb. Yes, it’s sexist and has some really stupid jokes and plot points. It does not stop me from loving this film. I don’t even feel that … Continue reading →

All Bets Are Off: The Laws of Robotics in Turbo Kid

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on February 22, 2016 by Erin MiskellJune 6, 2016

Turbo Kid filled me with a glee I have not felt in a very long time: it had cheesy, synthesizer-driven music, hokey special effects, and a great deal more heart than budget. I adored it. Aside from the retro, love … Continue reading →

Coming This Week

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on February 21, 2016 by Erin MiskellJune 1, 2016

Some weeks, it’s best not to ask questions and just sort of steer into the skid. It’s all down the tubes from here. So in the spirit of surrendering to the chaos, we’ll confound ourselves with questions surrounding the laws … Continue reading →

Saturday Shorts: Passenger

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on February 20, 2016 by Erin MiskellJune 1, 2016

Silence is the worst enemy of guilt. There’s nothing there to help assuage it: no words of comfort, no hope for the future, no sounds of reassurance to let you know that you’re going to be just fine in the … Continue reading →

Weekend Movies: Five Reasons to Watch Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on February 18, 2016 by Erin MiskellJune 6, 2016

The Charlie’s Angels movies are a guilty pleasure of mine. The stunts are completely unrealistic and the plots are pretty goddamned out-there. However… they’re fun. Yes, they’re relatively stupid. But they make me happy, and considering that it’s the doldrums … Continue reading →

Looking for Love: Parental Rejection in Willow

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on February 17, 2016 by Erin MiskellJune 6, 2016

As a kid, I loved Willow. Two years ago, when it came out on Blu Ray, I received it as a Christmas present and spent that evening staring at the screen, once again a child watching a favorite story. As … Continue reading →
