“Sex” is Back and The Latest Hollywood Buzz
Not that it was ever going out of style. Oh wait! That’s for another post on another blog. The sophisticated ladies of New York City are back. THAT’S what I meant!
The long-anticipated movie version of the UBER successful HBO series, Sex In The City, opens in theaters this weekend. Ladies, get out your [...]
Producer-Director-Actor Sydney Pollack Succumbs to Cancer
Well…I’m sad. Not heart-broken, just sad. I liked Sydney Pollack. As a top-notch Hollywood everything, he will be missed!
Pollack directed such classics as The Way We Were, Tootsie, Out of Africa (of which he won for Best Director and Best Picture in 1985), to name a few. He produced 47 films throughout his career (including Tootsie [...]

Indiana Jones Saves the Day…Again!
Without revealing my age, let’s just say that I was so looking forward to this film because of the nostalgic memories it creates. I can remember paying $2.75-$3.25 for each matinee showing of Indy films 1-3. I remember when my friends and I would meet to view the film and then head to the mall [...]
Downey, Jr. is Iron Man
Let me start by saying while I had every intention of taking in this flick at some point, when the decision was made nearly two weeks ago to see a movie, this wasn’t my first choice. I was more in the mood for a chick flick but being the good wife that I am, I [...]

I find these results somewhat interesting. I fully anticipated that the sequel to the original Chronicles of Narnia would’ve crushed the box office this weekend. However, it turns out that isn’t the case. Rather, though there is only a 23 mil difference [...]
