Are YOU Attracted to Your Mate’s “Otherness”?

I imagine right about now you’re thinking, “What the hell is she talking about?”  Ahhh…but there is a purpose behind the title!
There’s a new movie coming out in a couple of weeks, Nights in Rodanthe, the adaptation of the best-selling novel by Nicholas Sparks.  It stars Richard Gere and Diane Lane who pair up again [...]


Body of Lies – Highly Anticipated

Leonardo DiCaprio. Russell Crowe. Ridley Scott. What a combination!
One of the most anticipated movies for the fall season 2008, Body of Lies, is coming soon to a theater near you – October 10th, to be exact. And yes, I know it’s not even August yet but the buzz around the net on all the film [...]


Batman: The Dark Knight is Just Plain…Dark

And I’m pretty confident that ”dark” is the best way to describe it. 
Batman: The Dark Knight brings all other Batman movies to date to a whole new level.  I walked away at the end just utterly amazed at the sheer psychological factors that inhabit this film.  From the plot points (which you think you’ve figured it all [...]


“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 [...]


Rewind- The Kingdom (2007)

I finally got around to catching a movie last weekend.  My husband and I decided to spend some quality time together so we popped some hot buttered popcorn, poured ourselves a beverage or two, and selected The Kingdom on our cable In-Demand channel.  We were in the mood for something dramatic, something that would have [...]


Road Trippin’

So here I am on I-95 heading north in Virginia on my way to Massachusetts for the weekend.  Yeah, I know – CRAZY!  The trip will take us about 12-14 hours up…and 12-14 hours back.  At the very least, it’s taken 11 1/2 hours or at the most, 16 hours.  Crazy.  But, my headin’ home [...]


Vantage Point – New Meaning to “Know Your Surroundings”!

For the first time in over a month, I had a chance to take in a flick this past weekend.  Some of this is due to the fact there wasn’t really anything out there that I absolutely had to see and some of this is due to the fact I really haven’t been inspired to [...]


Rewind – We Are Marshall (2006) – A Commercial for Kleenex

Seriously. I’m not even entirely sure I can write a brief synopsis of the film expertly since I spent more time in front of my TV as a blubbering fool then I did absorbing the movie. BUT, I’ll give it the ole college try (pun intended).
We Are Marshall is the tale of a University, a [...]


The Great Debaters is In a Word – GREAT!

This film has heart. It represents everything you can imagine a film should be like if it’s based on a true story with a historical significance and a backdrop of what it was like to live in the deep south during pre-segregation . It’s that last part that should get you saying, “Uhhh-huh!”
I saw Charlie Wilson’s War [...]


Charlie Wilson’s War

Up for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical, I took in Charlie Wilson’s War on Saturday afternoon. War is not a musical by any stretch. That much I knew. But, after seeing it, I don’t know how it fell under the category of comedy either. Sure there are some witty lines [...]
