“Mom, guess when Iron Man is in the theater? May 2nd!” “You know what? Iron Man.” “May 2nd. Iron Man.” “Guess where I wanna be May 2nd? Iron Man!” “Don’t forget Iron Man starts May 2nd.” “I don’t want to wait for my birthday to see Iron Man.” “Do we have Iron Man tickets yet?” […]
I once described Evan as very much like the little boy in Elizabethtown, but nobody saw that movie so it’s a bad point of reference. What if I said he’s a lot like the boy in Catch and Release? Did anyone but me see that one? I can’t explain why, but I really like Catch […]
Over the weekend, I cashed in our Blingo tickets and took the girls to see Horton Hears a Who. It was sweet and completely appropriate for small children. Sarah giggled when they drifted into the anime sequence and Amy giggled when she recognized characters. I wasn’t distracted by the celebrities behind the voices as I […]
Late nights, I like to crawl in bed and watch old movies. Old is a relative term since it is no longer used to categorize black and white movies from generations before mine. It now applies to movies that were in the theater when I was old enough to be working in the theater. Last […]
Brad Renfro wasn’t included in the Oscars memoriam segment. Had he fallen behind on his membership dues? Somebody pay the dues and let his legacy be remembered for his accomplishments. Also, if Hollywood won’t do it, movie fans need to “mute the memoriam” instead of listening to the applause-a-rama of popularity. Let’s show some respect.
Last night, Doug, Tommy and I went to see Cloverfield with LissaKay and Rich. I knew what to expect going in and I am not a scary movie fan, so I liked it and I didn’t like it. I know everyone else loooves the way it ends, but I didn’t. I am still processing the […]
. . . and drink a bucket of soda tea. I think all movies should have a pointless musical number halfway through the movie. If a musical doesn’t fit, how about a flashback for everyone who wasn’t paying attention. Can’t do that either? Then put an old fashioned intermission in there, because those buckets of […]
After Friday night’s football game, Sarah and I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I’m just doing my part to make sure the children know the classics. While watching, something kept bugging me about Principal Murray. Ohhhhh, that’s why his voice seemed wrong in Buffy.
My stage blood recipe is a mix of glycerin, food coloring and chocolate syrup. I think I need something less staining for Halloween. FYI – I am stunned at the number of people who have NOT seen Shaun of the Dead. An intervention must be planned.
Newscoma and Cuppa Joe are celebrating Halloween with scary movies this weekend. I’m not a big fan of horror films. Life is scary enough. I’ve had to deal with real gore and know that I react on auto-pilot until the crisis passes and then collapse into a puddle of weeping goo. Why would I deliberately […]
