The Muppet Movie

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Last night, my daughter had a friend sleep over and we watched The Muppet Movie. I can't remember the last time I saw The Muppet Movie. I'm guessing it's been at least 20 years or more. I remember really enjoying the movie and I couldn't wait to watch it with ...

Yo Gabba What?!?

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

There's a relatively new kids show on Nickolodeon called Yo Gabba Gabba. The look and feel of the show gives off a totally 70s, trippy vibe. My 4-year old son loves the show. As far as kids shows go, it's probably one of the better ones and I feel it ...

Spoiler Alert

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

I'm not a big fan of spoilers. I hate knowing what is going to happen in a movie or TV show before I see it. I took my son to see Wall-E on Sunday. As I was getting into my car, my daughter's friend says, "You know EVE dies at the ...

Premonition

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

I watched the Sandra Bullock movie, Premonition, on cable last night. I was intrigued because it involves a woman who seems to be living a week out of order. I'm generally interested in any kind of story that involves the hint of time travel (although I'll probably not watch the ...

Snow White’s Step-Mother Could’ve Lived Happily Ever After

Friday, August 4th, 2006

We own a copy of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves on DVD, which gets quite a bit of use, since I have two young children. After watching it for the umpteenth time the other day, I had an epiphany. I think the Evil Queen/Witch could have solved her problem ...

Movie Survey

Monday, July 31st, 2006

Last week, the phone rang while I was giving my son dinner. The caller ID said Florida and I didn't recognize the number. We have friends and relatives in Florida, so I answered. It was a guy from Nielsen who wanted me to take a survey about current and new ...

Movie Trailer: Flight 93

Friday, March 24th, 2006

There's a movie coming out on April 28th called "Flight 93". As you may have guessed it's about the 9/11 hijacking that crashed in Pennsylvania. When I first heard about the movie, I thought it was too soon. Actually, I still think it's too soon. A couple of months ago, ...

Don’t Push That Button, Part II

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

Last night, I was using my Tivo.  Under the  Music, Photos, & More menu, I noticed a new item.  I can't remember exactly what it said, but it was something like, "Browse and Purchase Movie Tickets" or something like that.  It seems pretty cool, but it doesn't seem to work ...

Ode to Serenity

Monday, October 17th, 2005

I finally saw Serenity last night.  It was fantastic!  I had high expectations going in and I was not disappointed in the least.  I must disclose the fact that I am a huge Joss Whedon fan and a huge fan of the Firefly series that the movie was based on.  ...

A New Perspective on Return of the Jedi

Monday, May 23rd, 2005

On Friday night, I watched Return of the Jedi. I wanted to examine Luke and Darth Vader's interaction to see if my perspective changed a bit by what I saw in Episode III. And, I am surprised say, it has -- and probably for the better. In Jedi, Darth Vader ...
