Catholic Satire
Movie/music Monday Back in 2000 when Josh and I first got together, we often rented movies from a little mom and pop video store up the street from his mom’s house where he was living at the time (where we now live). One of the movies we rented was “Dogma”. Both of us are Catholic,… →

Movies That Motivate
Movie/music Monday There are a few movies that I’ll watch over and over because they make me feel a certain way. For example, initially, I watched “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Working Girl”, not just because they’re good movies but because they motivated me to do school work. I usually watched them while I was… →

Not a Bad Adaptation
Talk About it Tuesday And since I didn’t talk about it on Music/movie Monday, I’m going to use today to rave about the movie “Project Hail Mary”. Josh and I went to the matinee on Sunday. We were in a theater that boasted a Dolby sound system. I thought theaters always had that, but apparently… →

Once Again…Hamilton
Movie/music Monday I’m writing this post on Sunday night, just before 10:00. I plan to start the 9-10 hour drive back home around 6 or 7 in the morning. No time for a post before I go and I’m sure I won’t feel like writing anything once I get home. Since tomorrow/today is Monday, I… →

I had a promotional credit for Prime so we scrolled on there to find a movie this past Saturday. We settled on… →

But we actually have a handful of movies that we’ll rotate among when needing a background noise comfort movie. One of those is “Super… →

From Page to Screen
Movie/music Monday Today is more of a “Movie Version of Books Monday”. I seem to be on a kick of reading books that are about to be turned into movies. Actually, they already have and are about to be released. First I read Remain by Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan. Before I was finished… →

I Just Love It
Movie/music Monday I come to you today with another Ryan Gosling movie. What can I say? He’s one of my favorites. And actually, so is Steve Carell. Since it was Valentine’s Day on Saturday, Josh and I watched “Crazy, Stupid, Love” on Friday night. I’ve seen it a few times and it is just a… →

Appreciation
Movie/music Monday I watched the Super Bowl yesterday. I didn’t win anything in the Super Bowl squares game my sister organized. If the Patriots had gotten a field goal or the Seahawks got another touchdown, I would have won the pot for the final score. Oh well. The game was what it was, a game.… →
