I’m pretty sure I’ve never mentioned Downton Abbey here on the blog, but I am a big fan! My husband and I started watching it late and we’re slow series watchers, so we only caught up right before the new season started in January here in the US. I can’t believe tonight’s already the season Continue Reading…
I adore musicals. And that’s probably all I need to write. But here goes. My husband made a point of showing me this trailer a month or so ago (I usually have no idea what’s going on in the movie world). He knew I would be excited by it and I was. Fairy tales, a Continue Reading…
My husband and I went to see the new Hobbit movie Saturday night. It’s been 20+ years since I read the book so I haven’t been plagued with the urge to compare it to the movies, which has been pretty nice. I’ve been able to just sit back and enjoy the spectacle. Then we got Continue Reading…
So, since I pretty much slammed Noah last week, I thought I’d tell you about a movie I did like. We went out to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have fairly solid geek cred, but that’s based mostly on my love of fantasy novels and the occasional Continue Reading…
Saturday was rainy here so my husband and I headed out to the movies. Our decision-making process while choosing the film was, “Which one will be better on the big screen and which one will be fine on the tv?” Noah won and The Grand Budapest Hotel got saved on the Netflix queue. Noah lost Continue Reading…
I know that we’ve all heard plenty of opinions on The Hunger Games movie and I’m sure I don’t have anything new to add. But this is what I feel like writing. So there. 😛 I really, really, really liked it. I can’t bring myself to say that I loved it, but it was close. Continue Reading…
My husband and I were trying to find something fun and relatively cheap to do a couple of weekends ago, so we were going through one of our free newspapers looking for ideas. We were intrigued when we saw a review of the Oscar-Nominated Short Films, showing at a local theater. We decided to head Continue Reading…
A charming, fast-talking Italian man tries to win the heart of his “principessa.” A few years later, he uses his boundless imagination to protect his young son from the realities of life in a concentration camp. I absolutely loved this movie. I’m not a huge movie buff, tending to fall asleep about halfway through almost Continue Reading…
Train first caught my attention when they came out with “Meet Virginia” back around 1998. Yeah, that long ago. When they released “Drops of Jupiter” in 2001, I was completely, totally in love. That was about the time that I was falling completely, totally in love with my hubby, so I think all of that Continue Reading…
I meant to post this last weekend, but I got busy and forgot. I got to see Wicked! I feel like I’m the last person in the world to see it, but it was a huge deal for me! I love musicals, whether they’re on stage or on the screen. Call me cheesy if you Continue Reading…
