I love music. I love singing – I love dancing. And I love watching singing and dancing. Musicals have been a part of my life since the first moments I can remember. My favorite movies have singing and dancing [from the Muppets, to Barbra Streisand, to random Disney fare]. So – I will watch movies, [...]

Life’s been a pendulum swinging from one extreme to the other in the last couple weeks. Last week I had a great time playing volleyball with friends – which I haven’t done in years. Then I played Clue late into the night with some new friends [apparently that game has changed. a lot.]. Then, yesterday, [...]

My life has been topsy turvy for quite a while, and I’m starting to feel like I’m on an even keel again now. Or…getting there. I think I briefly mentioned the project from hell that lasted close to 2 years and was almost responsible for me quitting/getting fired. Thank God that’s complete. It was a [...]

First things First: The Dresses
Anne Hathaway wearing Armani ~ totally works. She actually kinda looked like an Oscar statue…at least from the
neck down. Her hair was very – done – maybe a little too much – but still a beauty for the first nominee I see on the red carpet.
I love looking at the dresses [...]
new year, new must-see movies

I watched the Super Bowl tonight, because last night I was having fun at a party – oblivious to the fact that today would be the worst day of this new year, thus far. I don’t really wanna talk about it, as I’ve already told the story at least 10 times today. Suffice it to [...]

The first time I ever saw The Color Purple I was about 9 years old. it may be possible for a 9 year old to understand this movie – but I sure didn’t. I just remember being very disturbed by the movie. I’ve seen bits and pieces since then, but never the whole thing.
Finally, I [...]

Looking for a movie that’s sweet, low-key, with at least one hot guy? A mellow romantic comedy with some 90s nostalgia thrown in? Definitely, Maybe is it.
With a cast including Ryan Reynolds, Abigail Breslin, Rachel Weisz [who I will always love b-cuz of the Mummy movies], and Isla Fisher [who is apparently starring [...]
what’s the big deal about: Juno

[unsure as to whether this becomes a recurring segment or not, but here goes.]
Tonight, I finally watched Juno. I liked it. It was cute. But maybe I listened to too much of the hype. Perhaps the buildup to the movie was a tad overblown? Cuz, it was cool, but it didn’t really register as groundbreaking [...]
double feature

Monday night is a bust when it comes to primetime tv. So it was time for my Michael Caine double feature movie night. I’m not a super Caine fan, but I do like his style, usually. I actually didn’t realize that both of the movies I got from Netflix included him. They’re both British, and [...]
