27 Dresses is a Delight!
This past weekend I was in the mood for a chick flick but I didn’t want to hit the theater. I was perfectly comfortable on my sofa sipping coffee so I decided to see what In Demand had to offer. Lo and behold, the early 2008 hit, 27 Dresses, was just released! I chose to [...]

A Tribute to Tim
I know this blog is supposed to be about the movies but for the last several days, that topic is not what’s been on my mind or in my heart. I suppose I could go to my personal blog to express my sorrow for what has captured my heart and soul this weekend but I [...]

“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 [...]

HOLY POPCORN KERNELS, Batman! No wait…that’s a different movie release weekend but still…do you see those numbers that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull brought in? YOWZA!
Indy SMOKED the competition by nearly 100 million smackaroos! To be quite honest, I [...]
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 [...]
