Get Him to the Greek

June 4, 2010

I have been seeing previews for this for quite some time.  I had no desire to see it.  I enjoy Judd Apatow movies and I really like Jonah Hill but the fact that Russell Brand was in it was enough to turn me away completely.  I don’t think I have ever seen him in anything, [...]

Bags Out at Seven

March 31, 2010

Bags Out at Seven Anyone who has traveled on a tour bus recognizes that statement. This is a book that was given to me by Uncle Marcel, when he read it, he said, he thought of mom.  So did I. It is a book containing vignettes by a tour operator covering her travels throughout a [...]

This is a guest review by Brett aka Amtrekker.  Brett spent all of last year travelling around the US.  I offered him a night on our couch while in the LA area, but he must have got a better offer.  I asked him to do this review when I saw his Facebook status with his [...]

Trident Layers

November 15, 2009

Disclosure: two packages of Trident Layer gum were provided to me free of cost to sample and review. However, this is probably not going to be the review they were hoping to see. Meh. That pretty much sums it up.  Is it a new concept?  Not really, mixing a couple of flavors together, I think [...]

This is It

October 31, 2009

Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow Really, that is what I kept repeating over and over in the theater, Wow. It is no surprise to anyone what a fabulous and dedicated performer Michael Jackson was.  But watching this movie – which is a “making of” kind of film of his concert rehearsals, made you remember just [...]

Gentleman Broncos

October 30, 2009

I had reservations about going to see this, but when the opportunity arose, I figured what the heck. As it is from the same people as Napoleon Dynomite and I really enjoyed that, I thought, Meh it can’t be too bad.  I was wrong.  But I also think I was the only person in the [...]

Motherhood

October 23, 2009

I am a Mom.  I am a Blogger.  I am not a Mommy Blogger.  I have said it before and I will continue to say it over and over.  I have nothing against Mommy Bloggers, some of my best friends are Mommy Bloggers (ba dum bum).  So needless to say I was a bit excited [...]

Where the Wild Things Are

October 19, 2009

Once again a guest review from my oldest niece Stephanie. Like most book to movie transitions, do not read the book first, or you will sorely be disappointed. I walked in expecting it be like the cartoon which was made from the book. I walked out wishing it was the cartoon made from the book. [...]

The September Issue

October 7, 2009

This is a guest review by my BGBF Derrick.  He is a fabulous photographer and teacher and although he has a blog, he uh ahem, NEVER updates it. Anna Wintour could out stare a statue, she’s that fierce. The September Issue is a new documentary about Vogue magazine editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour and the movers and [...]

Capitalism: A Love Story

October 6, 2009

I am not a Michael Moore fan.  I am not a fan of extremism in any way shape or form.  I consider Michael Moore to be extreme. I did not however find this film to be extreme, I found it to be sad. I can not remember (I saw the movie 3 days ago) who [...]
