My son is 11 years old. And, each day it seems he is getting older and older. And, of course he is. The second we are born we are getting older. Obvious but true. The last few years we have been quite often on the run on trips […]
Stop the presses. I did something unfathomable. A bit inconceivable. I love that word, by the way. Ever since I watched the Princess Bride, I have been amused by the word inconceivable. I just want to say it in numerous ways placing the emphasis in random places. Try […]
Many moons ago I may have caught the film Sliding Doors starring Gwyneth Paltrow. I honestly can’t remember seeing it but I know the plot fairly well. Then again, it is not that hard to figure out. Two possible life trajectories that depend on whether she makes the […]
This may be blasphemy for some. But here it goes. I like Star Wars, but don’t love it. I’ve only ever seen four films in the movie series, in the theatres. Those being Episode I: the phantom menace (which was horrible); Episode VII: The Force Awakens (which wasn’t […]

Finally! Finally a movie I really enjoyed this year. Most of the other films I have watched so far this year have been rather ho-hum. I enjoyed Avengers Endgame because it represented the culmination of a decade’s worth of build up. But it was a bit long. Spiderman: […]
“Bored now”…one of my favotite lines from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And, it perfectly encapsulates how I felt watching X Men: Dark Phoenix. Bored, for sure and, at best. Actually, this was not just how I felt but also how my son felt. About an hour into the […]
I’m not going to lie to you. I was prepared to hate it. Well, hate is a strong word I don’t much care for. Look, I don’t hate many films. I used to. But I have mellowed a bit and can usually find at least one redeeming factor […]
