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… →

Nicolas Cage and Taylor Swift
Movie/music Monday Usually on Saturdays, Josh and I have a conversation about what to watch that night. We try to decide between watching a new movie or something we’ve seen over and over. I had a promotional credit for Prime so we scrolled on there to find a movie this past Saturday. We settled on… →

Telling a Good Story
Music/Movie Monday I’ve posted before about how the movie “Signs” is the go-to Sunday night movie for Josh and me. I can’t explain why that’s our comfort movie, it just is. 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… →

Good Movie, Good Soundtrack
Movie/music Monday Today is a combo movie and music reflection. There are certain songs that I’ve heard lately that made me want to watch a certain movie. A few months back, Josh and I rented “The Fall Guy”. It’s a movie based on the 80s tv show. It stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. I… →

Friday–Then vs. Now
Flashback Friday It’s almost 7:30 pm where I live. Here’s why I’m a little late with my post today. I was chatting with Diane today. Diane is an older lady who works in the I.T. department at my job. We all really like Diane. She’s such a fun lady and super nice. She got me… →

Bravo Marvel!
“Something Good” Sunday I haven’t seen many of the Marvel movies. I think I’ve seen Iron Man 1 & 2, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and Infinity War–if that was the first one, I didn’t see the second one. End Game? These movies, while fun to watch, just weren’t my thing necessarily. I didn’t… →
