And now, for the part of 2009 that really didn’t personally concern me.  Macabre as it may sound, the part of the Oscars that I most enjoy is their tribute to the stars that have died that year.  Well, this … Continue reading →

Finally. . . Movies to Look Forward To!

Posted on 25 September 2008 by Valarie

There really haven’t been many movies worth going to see lately. We did go to see “The X-Files: I Want To Believe”, but it was a huge disappointment. And I am a big X-Files fan. And while I am interested … Continue reading →

Posted on 28 June 2008 by Valarie

I guess my favorite movie, ever, is “What’s Up Doc?” starring Ryan O’Neal and Barbara Streisand. So, since tonight was the kids’ last night before going off to camp for two weeks, we decided to make a Family Night of … Continue reading →

The Golden Compass

Posted on 23 November 2007 by Valarie

I have probably received twenty or more emails about the upcoming movie, “The Golden Compass”.  None of them have been good.  Now, I rarely let reviews deter me from seeing a movie I am interested in seeing, whether those reviews … Continue reading →

1408

Posted on 24 June 2007 by morningtower

Okay, I’m not a horror movie fan, per se.  And I have never read a Stephen King book in my life, but I love John Cusak.  So last night Gaylon and I went to see 1408.  For anyone who doesn’t … Continue reading →

Posted on 29 June 2006 by morningtower

I am so angry and disappointed!  I was watching World News Tonight last night, and at the very end, they aired a segment on the new "Superman Returns" movie.  Apparently, Superman no longer stans for "Truth, Justice and the American … Continue reading →
