Horton Hits a Home Run

As a loveable classic of my childhood, I approached the movie “Horton Hears A Who” with caution. It is not uncommon for Hollywood to screw up movie renditions of things that I cherish. Ok, so maybe cherish is a strong, girlie word… How about awesome and cool. A stretch, but I digress… AnyWHO… To be [...]

Last night was movie night. Again Maryanne and I hosted a movie night starring the classic wacky movie, Beetlejuice. I forgot how fun that movie is. What a blast! Katie and Tim from work made it, as well as friends and neighbors Jeff and Andrea. We played quite a bit of Singstar karaoke while eating [...]

Took the kiddos to see “The Rock” in his new movie, The Game Plan. It was fun! All the expected turns. Surprise, you’ve got a kid. Shake up your life. Oh man, hard to get used to a kid. I’m rich, famous, and a football player. Bonding begins to occur. Starting to like your kid… [...]

This last Saturday night Maryanne and I hosted a movie watching party. We invited several people but ended up with most not able to show, or unable to at the last minute due to shifts in priority and schedule. Just the same it turned out well though. We had all the movie watching junk foods: [...]

That’s right folks. Your’s truly took the girlfriend and kiddos to see the movie Surf’s Up. Although touted as a funny movie, a great ride, I found that Surf’s Up wiped out. The film concept was creative in that they filmed it similar to a documentary. Instead of being entertained I found myself getting up [...]

WARNING: Some Spoilers in here. Do not read if you don’t want to hear about the movie before seeing. Ok, disclaimer out of the way, let’s talk pirates.

I took my baby girls to the movie Meet the Robinsons. They enjoyed it, even though my seven year old appears to be scared of all things 3D, which is the version we went to see. There are two versions. The regular 3D animated version, and the TrueD 3D jump-at-ya version. Allow me to state [...]

Went to the movies for the first time in a while. Tabitha and I went and saw Eragon. First allow me to state that I’ve never read the book(s), so I had no particular expectations going into this. Overall the movie was pretty good. Nothing to write home about, but really nice special effects, and [...]
