Narnia – A great movie

By • Dec 12th, 2005 • Category: MovieReviews, Theater

According to SciFi Wire, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe came in first in box office receipts this weekend (67 million…WOW!). Suzette and I braved the Mall crowds on Saturday to see it. We both gave it two thumbs up. I found the special effects impressive. At times, it was [...]



Walk the Line – A screen writer cashes in

By • Nov 28th, 2005 • Category: Pop Culture, Theater

I have really two things to say, then I’ll elaborate. “Great movie!” and “Awful script!” I’ll start with the good, because this is a great movie.

It’s been a long time since I’ve loved a movie so much that I paid the admission price to the theater more than once. I can tell you haw long it’s been, since Saving Private Ryan came out in 1998, it’s been seven years. But I had to go back to see Serenity again. I [...]



Some new content

By • Oct 6th, 2005 • Category: MovieReviews, the Site

I’ve added a category called “MovieReviews”. I plan to at least say a few words about every movie I see. So far the subs include “NetFlix”, “Theater” and “On TV”. I just recently opened a NetFlix account and am very happy with it. I’ve seen six movies and have one waiting for me at the [...]
