movie review

okay, football season is over, Ginny is feeling better and it’s time for my first movie review of the 2009 non-football viewing season.
I watch a movie this weekend.  FOUR TIMES.
My five month old laughed, squealed and bounced her way through it.  Almost singing along with the catchy songs.
any guesses which  movie?
I’ll help you along.

review: sex and the city

Yes, I actually went to see this movie.
Yes, I know. I had always avoided the show. I mean how could I possibly enjoy something whose theme appeared to be all about promiscuity? How could it not be with such a blatant title?
Well.
While I still don’t know anything about the TV show, I [...]

Secondhand Lions

Just saw the movie “Secondhand Lions” this past weekend.
Had no idea what I was getting into.
It was recommended by a friend of ours who likes horror, so I didn’t know what to expect.
Turns out it was a sweet character development piece. The type of movie that hardly ever comes out of Hollywood anymore.
Robert Duval, [...]

Night at the Museum

Martin wanted to watch a movie with dinner last night. I had just enough brain for something entertaining, but didn’t want to see anything that was going to tax me emotionally or mentally.

One night with the King

all right, I know I’m behind on my movie reviews.  I can get this one out of the way with just one word though: underwhelming.
normally i don’t get too bent out of shape when people monkey with a story, but let’s face it the story of Esther is pretty darn good to begin with.  It’s [...]

late to the party

I’m behind on my movie watching.    So forgive me for being very late in viewing Ratatouille the Pixar movie from 2007.
I finally saw Ratatouille this weekend and I absolutely adored it!
I loved how they didn’t ever have the rats speak to the humans, just used gestures and expressions. As a dabbler in art, [...]

new movie rules

As I dyed eggs this past Saturday with my 14-year-old niece, we were goofing around and at some point the subject of the new Indiana Jones movie came up.
My husband and I were stunned to discover that Ivey hadn’t ever seen “Raiders of the Lost Ark” clearly this was an oversight that [...]

okay, okay. I recant

This is not about my belief in God. On that I stand firm.
This is about a movie review I did earlier this year where I said that I didn’t like Errol Flynn. (Feb 15. “who gets the remote now?”)
Okay. I was wrong.
Turns out that I didn’t like Errol Flynn IN THE MOVIE “Robinhood”
I [...]

who gets the remote now?

There’s going to be a fair amount of “movie reviews” showing up on my blog between now and August.
Why?
Am I a movie buff? no.
Do I feel I have something to add to the famous critics and pundits who review each and every piece of fluff that comes out of Hollywood? no.
So [...]
