I rented W. a couple of nights ago. I thought, what could it hurt? Pfffttt. Silly me. My first warning should have been the fact that it was directed by Oliver Stone. It wasn’t a horrible movie, but it certainly wasn’t great, either. I suppose the content was fairly accurate even if it was out [...]
I went to see Marley and Me today. I wanted a break from the usual science fiction, action, adventure, and drama that I’m usually drawn to. I thought I’d go see a lighthearted funny film for a change, just to laugh and enjoy myself. Well, Marley and Me was that and so much more. Marley [...]
I went to see Valkyrie yesterday at my favorite movie theater, The Rave. There were four movies I wanted to see, so we let our arrival time at the theater dictate which one we watched. Valkyrie was it. Tom Cruise plays a colonel in the German army in the during World War II. He becomes [...]
I went to see this movie yesterday, opening day. I saw it at the fabulous Rave theater. I love that place, except for the parking, which is mall parking and therefore not good. The theater is what I imagined the future would be like. The posters inside are animated. It uses digital projection and thunderous surround [...]
Hubby and I decided at the last minute to go see a movie late this afternoon. We choose Four Christmases because it would be funny and get us in the mood for Christmas. Nothing heavy today. We drove all the way to the Rave theater because we love it so very much. It’s the totally [...]
I watched this one on DVD. I was only mildly interested when it came out in the theaters. Certainly not enough to pay admission, but I’ll watch nearly anything with my Blockbuster membership. The Bucket List stars Morgan Freeman as Carter Chambers and Jack Nicholson as Edward Cole. It’s directed by Rob Reiner, who did [...]
This makes me squeal in excitement. I mentioned briefly in another post that the next Terminator movie is coming out next year. It’s called Terminator Salvation. Christian Bale (Batman) plays John Connor. He’s going to be outstanding as John. Some things are just exciting. I love the Terminator story, all the movies, and the TV [...]
I rented the DVD of The Water Horse and watched it a couple of days ago. The Water Horse is a charming story rather like a fairy tale. A young boy named Angus found a strange egg along the shores of a large Scottish loch. He brought it home and out of it hatched a small [...]
Oh my. I saw The Dark Knight this evening. My head is still spinning. Christian Bale came back as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Gary Oldman returned as Jim Gordon. And Morgan Freeman came back as Lucius Fox. Michael Caine is still Albert. Bruce Wayne’s “love interest”, Rachel, was replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal. And, of course, Heath Ledger [...]
I rented Batman Begins on DVD so I would be ready for The Dark Knight. Although I’ve heard that the sequel pretty much stands alone and it’s not necessary to see the first one to enjoy the second one. I didn’t know that Batman is a ninja. It’s true. A good bit of the first part [...]
