My husband and I have been watching some stinky movies lately. Many of them have had something in common, but I don’t want to say which ones or what their common trait is for fear of making these movies predictable and even worse for people who might decide to watch them. I will just name […]

What would happen if characters in fairy tale land (or Disney animation land) joined real-world New York City? That is what Princess Giselle of Andalasia learns when she is banished on her wedding day by the Evil Queen Narissa. The Queen sends her son’s intended off to the land where “happily ever after” doesn’t exist.

Just watched Fight Club – one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I can’t believe we wasted over 2 hours of kid-less time on this piece of you-know-what. The people who voted (yes, all 357,160 of them) for this on imdb.com to give it an 8.8 out of 10 and made it #16

Here we go, another movie review – have you seen or even heard of a movie called Triangle (2009)? It’s not a mainstream movie; it only got about 5,000 votes on imdb.com But my husband and I watched it the other night, and we both really enjoyed it – so much that I found it

Before the newest in the endless stream of Robin Hood tales hits the big screen this summer (the first film featuring the outlaw dates back to 1908… the character is hundreds of years old), I recently revisited the 1991 Kevin Costner version Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Lots of memories dating back to the summer

If nothing else, last night’s Academy Awards made a strong statement that traditional movie making is still preferable to the rise of technology…. in the eyes of the voters anyway. Avatar may have earned $567,890,123.45 (that figure may even be low) at the box office but I think it was ultimately the big loser this

If memory serves, Stephen King’s Storm of the Century was a mini-series in the late 90s. It definitely was not a theatrical release since I watched the 2hr15min first part tonight. I have seen many of King’s other movies and this one definitely ranks VERY high. Maybe it’s because Mr. King actually had a hand

I have heard all kinds of forecasts for the next day or so. I will let Nature take her course and live with what we are given. This afternoon, Megan and I had made plans to see Shutter Island. The first I had come into knowledge of the movie was the trailer during the Super
