In attempts to keep the length down to a reasonable amount (showing clips of the 10 films nominated for best picture would seem like it would go on longer than the typical 3-4 hour event), there have been a few strategies put in place for the Academy Awards. First of all, the nominees for best […]

Yep, you guessed it… ANOTHER REMAKE that does not need remade. Why, oh why can’t people be ORIGINAL!?!? I did enjoy the first two Karate Kid movies… they went downhill after that. I wonder if Hilary Swank holds her turn as The Next Karate Kid in high regard. I guess there are changes in the

Prior to viewing Sherlock Holmes amongst all the needless ads, I did see a trailer for a movie that is definitely high on my list for viewing.

It took two nights, but we finally made it through the sci-fi 80’s thriller, The Abyss. What is with me and all the science fiction lately? Not usually my cup of tea; I guess I’ve just been enjoying a change of scenery. One reason for wanting to watch the Abyss is that I was very
Since none of the channels I get are bothering to show the glorious original 1947 version this year, I decided to spend my nine dollars on the Miracle of 34th Street DVD. There is a treasure trove of added features including a very rare 1955 broadcast on the “20th Century Fox Hour of Stars” of
Before the curtain went up on night two of the play, I got to watch the hilarious escapades of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. The film finds officer wannabe and quite agile mall security man Paul Blart (Kevin James of “The King of Queens”) up against a group of high-tech robbers on Black Friday. I must
