Randomness and a Few Favorites

I seem to alternate between thematic posts and a rundown of an average day. I’ve had random thoughts that I considered sharing as a status on facebook but then thought I’d rather save and perhaps expand on it, or at least add it to a days rant. Then there is …

Year 6: The Half-Blood Prince

I think Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince might be my favorite HP movie so far! My first viewing was in IMAX 3D. It was cool, but I’m not sure it’s worth shelling out the extra money because 3D effects are only in maybe the first 15 minutes. Beware, spoilers galore!

My Classics from the 90’s

I have an Amazon list several pages long (at least in the normal view), and several pages are taken up with dvd’s (93 total). Many of them are my favorites from the 1990’s, my personal classics. Let me share them with you.

Hook 1991 – One of the greatest …

Little Ashes: Thoughts and Questions

Robert Pattinson is an awesome actor. I’ve read that because he was the only non-Spaniard on the cast or crew, he spent all his time learning how he should play Salvador Dali. He’s such a beautiful guy but isn’t the kind that takes “cute guy” parts, except …

Read Since August 16, 2008

One of the wonderful things… about Twilight (not Tigger) is that it has encouraged so many people to read, young and old (one thing it does have in common with Harry Potter). I’ve always enjoyed reading, but ever since picking up Twilight I’ve really felt a need to always …

What’s *Not* To Love – Things Which Do Not Please Me In The Movie Twilight

Perhaps you have grown tired of me sharing the Twilight gospel. When I first saw the movie, I was not sure what I thought of it. I thought of some things I did not like, how some of the movie-magic was not so magical and how adaptation changes …

The Nativity Story

Originally Written December 27, 2006.

Mom, Dad, Emily and I saw “The Nativity Story” this afternoon. I loved it. Emily and I agree it is rewatchable, several times over.

Tim did not come though he had the day off. I’d forgotten, or didn’t realize that fact so …

Princess Power

I have a 3 year old daughter. While not 100% conclusive, in our home, this means I watch a lot of Disney movies. Most of these movies have female heroines. Not all of them are princesses. In many of the older films, the ladies are princesses …

Looks like CSI, sounds like CSI, but it’s not

It’s been two weeks since I watched an episode of CSI. It was creepy and was a very good transition (or beginning of) between two characters/actors. William Petersen is leaving, Laurence Fishburn is coming. I have been waiting out the shows holiday hiatus and …

I LOVE TWILIGHT!

I got home earlier from my second viewing of Twilight the movie and I’m in love all over again. I wasn’t sure what I thought the first time but I love it even more. I love the characters and am reasonably pleased with the adaptation. After listening …
