MUST BE GOOD IT’S MONDAY – “The Stone of Destiny”
I’m not sure why the trailer makes this sound like an intense action drama… it’s an emotional uplifting family friendly movie about why Scotland is awesome. This is a feel good, “way to go kid!” kind of film that leaves you feeling smiling and satisfied. A week or so ago, I made the point that [...]
A FESTIVE FANTASTIC FRIDAY – “Nativity!”
Don’t let the cover scare you into thinking this is another Hamlet 2, which is on its way to my mailbox today via Netflix. “Nativity!” is an easy to digest Christmas comedy starring the ever so popular Martin Freeman (i.e. Sherlock, Hitchhiker’s Guide, The Office) and supported by a room full of amazing children and [...]
EVERYBODY’S WATCHING – “Buck”
Oh wow… I had no idea what I was getting myself into. And boy was it a treat. Ignore, for the moment, the fact that Robert Redford’s face is the still image for this trailer and let’s move on to serious business. “Buck” was hands down, a fantastic film. Buck, in short, is a Horse Whisperer. [...]
READER RECOMMENDED – “Howl’s Moving Castle”

I like Japanese films like this because they [...]
DOCUMEN:TUESDAY – “Zombie Girl: The Movie”
Loved this film. For starters, I must say that I am of the Zombie persuasion. And to add to taht, I hate that there is a classification of zombies known as “Romero Zombies”. There should be Zombies, and “Vampiric-Future-Dead-Hungries”. But I digress. But the only reason I checked in for this movie from the beginning [...]
WTF AM I WATCHING – “Morning Glory”
Part of me is embarrassed to say that I watched this, but I find it necessary to cleanse the palate every now and again. A lot of these independent movies offer a loose story or artsy delivery and it’s not always easy to follow so finding a blockbuster high budget big cast film gives me something easy to enjoy. [...]
KID TESTED : CHATTER APPROVED – “North”
I couldn’t find a trailer for this film that didn’t have tons of advertising in front of it or poor quality. Apparently this movie never received much attention, but for some reason I saw it as a kid and always thought it was the coolest. As an adult, this can be a dangerous thing, assuming [...]
