Reluctantly, I saw Marley and Me in the movie theater yesterday. It’s not that it was a bad movie, but I didn’t want to see it in the theater because I knew it would be a tear-jerker since I read the book by John Grogan. Unfortunately, I don’t remember much about the book since I […]
This morning, I caught the opening chat fest on Regis and Kelly. If I see nothing else on the show (when I am able) this is it; many times the guests do not interest me. However, I love the chemistry between the hosts. Bantering, poking fun, reporting on the headlines, etc. Also the trivia contest

Ok, going in, I knew it would be a terrible movie. When Christmas With The Kranks came out in the movie theater, it was met with terrible reviews from critics, and its imdb.com rating is a measley 4.7 with over 7,000 votes. So why did I want to watch it? Two reasons – I wanted

While searching for the perfect DVD to view on the new Blu-Ray (yes DVDs are able to be played on the machine), I decided to give Star Trek VI – The Undiscovered Country a long overdue view. Released in 1991 (I remember seeing the film in a GOOD theatre setting while taking a break from holiday
Going against the more traditional holiday movie fare (a big chunk of it takes place during the Christmas season so it counts), it has become tradition to celebrate with what has become the most underrated, overlooked Bond flick (which is a shame). On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is by far the most emotionally charged film in

Remember that CNN.com article I wrote about the unusual names? The article spotlighted a little girl named Indiana Elizabeth Jones and her brother, Dow. Well, this post is not going to be about them. Rather, it’s an excuse to post a cute photo of my 4-year-old daughter wearing an Indiana Jones-like costume. For the real buffs out there,

Tonight while watching the first snow of the season continue to fall, I checked the tv listings and discovered two movies that piqued my interest: Santa Claus The Movie and the 1973 made-for-television version of Miracle on 34th Street. Since I have seen Santa Claus (the rather disappointing movie made by Alexander Salkind, producer of
I shouldn’t have liked it. It’s an 82 minute comedy farce co-starring Reese Witherspoon – what’s to like? But I actually enjoyed the movie 4 Christmases more than I thought. So why did I see if I thought I’d hate it? For one, it was the only thing playing at the matinee price and for
This evening, I went with my family to watch the Santa parade here in town. One of the nieces was somehow scared to death of Santa until grandpa took her up. Then you could not get her away. While we waited for the free photos to develop we watched the junior high band play carols

Once again I caught a movie that I definitely should have seen on the big screen (darn Speed Racer, anyway). Iron Man positively ranks up there with my all-time favorite superhero movies (need I say which is number one… and it is NOT Howard the Duck). I knew absolutely nothing about billionaire industrialist Tony Stark and
