Up, Up, and Away to Animation Genius!
Hello, Everyone! I have a guest blogger today. My friend, Scott Ellis, is a multimedia designer and a fan of really good movies so much so that I asked him if he wouldn’t mind being a Guest Blogger to review the latest Disney Pixar release (that’s getting all the critical nods it apparently deserves), Up. [...]
Hannah Montana Vs Fast - Who Will Come Out On Top This Easter Weekend?
Last week, Fast and Furious blew away the box office taking in a whopping $71M. With a production budget of just under $85M, the film is on track to make exceed all expectations. Close behind grossing $33M in box office sales was Parmount’s Monsters Vs Aliens. Not bad for either film, huh? And then comes [...]
Local Film Blaire’s Bridge Builds Heart
Last weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the World Premiere of a film produced right here in the Triangle - Blaire’s Bridge. It’s the story of how one covered bridge brings a community together despite the matters of the heart being tested by some members of that very same community. It’s a touching tale [...]
Benjamin Button - A Backwards Story With Heart
Imagine, if you will, it’s the end of World War I. Americans are celebrating all around the country, especially in the southern most region of Louisiana where the sounds of jazz flow out to the streets in the bustling French Quarter of New Orleans. It’s a happy time.
In all the celebration and chaos, a wife of [...]
July 4th Weekend Blockbusters?
Two new major films take to the screen this weekend - Hancock starring Will Smith and Kit Kitredge: An American Girl starring an all-star cast of many.
Hancock has an interesting twist to it. It’s a story about a…get this…alcoholic super hero. Is that an oxymoron or what? The thought perplexes me so much that it’s the [...]
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 [...]
All I Want For Christmas Is….
No, it’s not “my two front teeth” (Well, maybe they need to be straightened or something. ). My favorite movie from the summer just came out on DVD yesterday - The Bourne Ultimatum starring People’s SEXIEST Man Alive for 2007, Matt Damon. If you are a follower of the Bourne series, you were probably one of the [...]
Rewind - Bewitched (2005)
It’s Saturday night and while there are several options on TV - the Hurricanes game, a few holiday movies, etc. - my husband and I decide to watch the 2005 theatrical release, Bewitched starring Will Farrell, Nicole Kidman, and Shirley MacLaine. Neither of us had seen it. We had thought about seeing it when it [...]

Compass is alternate world meets reality with souls that manifest themselves into animals alongside a 12 year-old girl who tries to save her friend and ends up on her way to saving our world as well. The movie also stars such Hollywood [...]
Enchanted - Truly It Is
I just spent two hours in a total fantasy world…and I loved it! I have not laughed nor smiled that “goofy” smile (in complete darkness with no one looking either) nor walked away from a movie with that “Boy! Do I feel good!!” feeling in a very long time. This movie gave me [...]
