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… →

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… →

Flashback Friday—But Not Mine
With it being Flashback Friday, let me honor not a story from my past, but rather, the memory of past movies of this icon we lost today: Any child of the 80s and 90s knows Catherine O’Hara. Her most famous roles were Kate McCallister and Delia Deetz from “Home Alone” and “Beetlejuice” respectively. Though I… →

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… →

Movies on Repeat
What are your top ten favorite movies? I have been asked this question before! Not by WordPress, but by some nosy 8th graders I was teaching one year. I made an honest-to-goodness handwritten top 10 list. It was on an index card that for some strange reason, I kept, but now I can’t find it.… →

Where Books and Movies Meet
Scrolling on Facebook was profitable for Amazon today. I came across a random post that was talking about this book. I’m in a Book Lovers group on there because I’ve been doing a lot more reading lately. The book here is going to be released sometime in October, so I (almost) immediately preordered it on… →

Agree to Disagree
What public figure do you disagree with the most? Nice try, WordPress! Are you trying to make us get all angry and political with this question? As an American, I vehemently disagree with nearly everything that is said and done by our current president. However, the people that voted for him surely disagree with everything… →

For Your Viewing Pleasure
What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times? I am unapologetically a person who will watch the same movie every day. In previous posts I’ve talked a lot about the movies, “You’ve Got Mail”, “The Devil Wears Prada”, and “Julie & Julia”. “You’ve Got Mail” is the movie I watch nearly… →

No Ma’am! You Didn’t Just Do That!
Because I am super excited about the idea of writing a book and writing on my blog, I have watched the movie “Julie & Julia” on repeat. It’s the story of Julia Child as she wrote her famous cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking. It also shows the journey Julie Powell went through as… →
