September 11, 2007
Today marks the 6 year anniversary of 9/11. It always sounds strange saying that. You always think of an anniversary as this positive milestone. I suppose if you looked at it as a survivor day it... Video Music Awards 2007
Oh MTV, what has happened to you? Besides the decades old complaint that MTV never plays videos (something Justin brought up twice, in fact challenged MTV to show more of), MTV has steadily... House of 9
Think Saw meets House on Haunted Hill. Not to gory and not heavy in dialogue. The movie was literally about watching the degradation of humans as greed takes over, as difficult decisions have to... The Good German
Hmmm... Stylistically speaking, this movie was shot beautifully. It took me back to early film noir pics, to Bogart films. You had the femme fatale, the soft black and white film, the angled... Ritchie is out...
I embrace the fact that I'm a contradiction. Nothing should be black and white. However, I suppose this drunk driving issue is important to me. I've never been a firm supporter of... Rest Stop
Ok...I watch those cheesy tv movies. I know what to expect-subpar directing, writing, acting. I know what I'm in here for but EGAD!!! This movie was just bad all around. I'm not a big fan... Vacancy
Phew! That was a ride...a heckuva ride. I rent...ALOT. And I've been waiting to see this movie. Though the running time is only 1hr25min, I must say you wouldn't want it any longer... SherryBaby
I know alot of people are Maggie Gyllenhaal fans. She's got an ease about her that transfers to her characters. She definitely becomes her onscreen personas. This film is no different. It felt... Wild Hogs
What a funny movie. From the previews, I knew I wanted to see this movie. The idea of these four actors, all out of shape and middle aged, getting together and playing that exact role just seemed... Bandidas
Hmmm... I like Selma Hayek and I like her work. This movie isn't my favorite but I don't think it's meant to be. It's supposed to be a fun western, a kind of Wild Wild West with a... Firewall
Ehhh! The cast was good and the storyline should have been good. I just never felt like I was invested or in suspense. I just felt like I couldn't wait for the movie to be over. I think I also... Disturbia
I loved this movie. I'm a little shocked that I did. A friend of mine said she felt misled by the trailers, that she walked in hoping to be on the edge of her seat from beginning until end and... Summer Update
Well, the summer continues to move much too quickly! Vacation was a perfect blend of history, relaxation, and exercise. We did some hiking in Shenandoah, stayed in a forest cabin, saw Romeo and... Road Trip 2007
Last summer, my sisters and I went cross country (sort of...we stopped short of California...we'd already done "it" on a previous trip). We went hiking in every national park in Colorado,... TB Scare
It's been on the news for a couple of weeks now. Speaker is told he has a rare, drug-resistant form of TB and is told that he should not travel. He's also told that he's not... Fear Tactics...I'm getting sick of them
Over the last few days, one couldn't watch CNN or MSNBC without hearing Cold War 50 million times and I am getting so sick of the fear mongering that the government is perpetuating and media... Paris Hilton
Ok...So Paris is definitely not my favorite celeb. Her fame is ill deserved. She can't act and, though even I liked the hook to her song, she can't sing anything more than a breathy tune.... Pandemic...ehhh
Alright, I have a penchant for watching cheesy natural disaster tv movies. I don't know why. The dialogue is always terrible, relationships/chemistry is usually forced, and the scenes are just... A Good Year Review
Ok... I recently saw A Good Year with Russell Crowe. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it. I'm not a big Crowe fan but, from the previews, I thought I would love the wide... 6/1/07 Introduction
Well, here it is. I've always wanted to do a blog and now, on June 1, I'm going to give it a go. I suppose this will be my forum for random thoughts, from tv to film to literature to...
