Wow. What a great film… and I don’t think I’ve been able to say that since I saw The Orphanage months ago. We ventured over to the Toledo suburbs yesterday for date night to see Changeling at the nice theater since we still had a free pass leftover from a movie where they had technical […]
No, this is not one of the Boy Wonder’s many quips to the Caped Crusader (that I am aware of, anyway). This comes from the 1994 movie The Fantastic Four. Never heard of it? Wasn’t it made more recently than that? These are not surprising questions. In the early ’90s a theatrical version of the

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS (not purposely, but if you have yet to see Quantum of Solace or even have a fresh viewing of Casino Royale behind you, I would skip this post. And if you are uninterested in either, then I give you permission to skip it all together. One thing I can say about

Tonight saw the return of our semi-regular game night. I will not comment on the night itself but on one of the challenges I was asked to perform outside of the games. Somehow, we got off on the tangent of James Bond. I was asked to list all of the villains in the 21 (now

One of my favorite elements of the best Bond movies was the reliable appearance of Q, supplier of 007’s weapons and high-tech gadgets. Sadly, Q has not made the leap to the latest two shows. Played with excellent comedic presence by the late Desmond Llewelyn (and later by John Clease), the head of Q Branch

In honor of the opening of the 22nd Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, I will be asking my readers (some of whom are fans, some who have never seen a Bond movie, and others who could give a flying fig) a series of questions. The new film will hold the distinction of being the first
Even though our car is out of commission, we were still able to get out to vote yesterday with our rental car, courtesy of our car warranty. I have to say that after years of driving a loaded mini-van, I kind of enjoy zipping around in the little Malibu they gave us. My husband pointed out that

I don’t know what kept me from seeing The Incredible Hulk when it was in theatres last summer. Maybe it was the fear of being disappointed a la the original film. More probably, it was the fact that I was in a show and was really busy, because I read some reviews and got excellent

AH…… HALLOWEEN HAS COME (and gone for another year by the time this post is complete). I love this time of year. Some of my cousins (on my Dad’s side) actually operate a small family-friendly attraction. They charge absolutely no admission and get lots of visitors every year. At the end of the haunt, Ed
Blindness is an interesting movie starring Julianne Moore. Think Outbreak, except this time the disease that’s afflicting people at a record rate isn’t fatal, but it causes sudden blindness. The movie was alright; I liked the ending, but there are a few scenes that are extremely disturbing to watch. As always, I don’t want to go into
