I think they do it just to get my money!
And just like last time (read about it) we were lunching on the Indian Food buffet next door at Curry Corner. As we waddled out of the restaurant, we noticed the “4 DVDs for $20″ sign. What could we do? We were powerless to resist!
Here’s what we bought:
Young [...]
Over the extended holiday period, I managed to see three new movies in the theater. That’s a lot for me, although I love going. Here’s what I saw: Sherlock Holmes, Up In The Air, and Youth In Revolt. Did you see any of these? If so, leave me a comment and let me know what [...]
That’s what happened. I didn’t plan it but these things happen. There we were enjoying the all-you-can-eat Indian food buffet lunch at Curry Corner. Harmless enough, and tasty too. But then we waddled out the door and [poof] there was the video store nearby with a big ole ”Five DVDs For $20″ sign. We were powerless. [...]
As I mentioned earlier today, I had a tooth pulled yesterday, so today is a ”sit around and relax to feel better” day. And what better way to feel better than with some classic comedy. This one streches w-a-y back to 1934, long before I was born. But a classic is a classic.
W.C.Fields made a series [...]
I had a tooth pulled yesterday. This has nothing to do with the movie “Go”. Well, a little maybe. After the oral surgery yesterday I thought I might be a little under the weather for a while, so I took today off. Oh, I’m doing ok, thanks.
A friend had given us a copy of the DVD [...]
What we did on a summer vacation, the first four days anyway…
We recently went to Seattle for a week, as we have done over Labor Day for the last nine or so years. The big attraction is the Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival. It’s a three day festival with entertainment on about 15 stages, plus a [...]
I won free passes to see a preview of a new movie called (500) Days Of Summer. I had read a couple pretty positive reviews and was hoping that it would be as good as I was hoping. Well, stevenology, hope no more because it was really, really good. This was one of the most enjoyable movies [...]
It was a Friday night video double feature here at the old homestead. I watched two (more or less) recent Woody Allen films. I had seen both before but not for quite a while. And of course, with his films you can watch them many times and still enjoy them.
First up was “Small Time Crooks” [...]
Tonight I watched The Beatles’ classic film from 1964, “A Hard Days Night”. It’s really hard to believe that it has been 45 years since this film was released. Feel old? Nevermind that, it’s a classic and for good reason. It’s still entertaining after all this time and the Beatles music is timeless and will [...]
Today we went to the theater to see the new movie “Whatever Works.” (official site, wikipedia) It’s the latest comedy from writer and director Woody Allen. It stars Larry David, Evan Rachel Wood, Patricia Clarkson, Michael McKean, Ed Begley Jr., and others. Those of you who know me also know that I am a huge Woody [...]
We took a vacation up north in the Portland, Orgeon area. You shoulda been there. Maybe you were. Whatever, we had a great time! Here’s the play-by-play.
Thursday June 25
And we hit the road running. Well, driving actually. Portland is a ten or eleven hour drive from our NorCal home base. On our way, we stopped [...]
- Update: The new Bumbershoot web site for 2009 is online as of March 6. Check it out. The first group of performers will be announced later this month, so they say, with more to follow…
- Second update: I can die happy now. Bumbershoot itself commented on this post [see below] and on their site! [...]
I love movies. I don’t see nearly as many as I want to, I always seem to be busy with other things. But I have always loved movies, as far back as I can remember and probably beyond that. So every year I watch the Academy Awards show, even though I may not have seen [...]
Brad Pitt. Cate Blanchett. Five Golden Globe nominations. So it must be good, right? Well, my birthday was a few days ago, and we went to see the movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Here’s the official site and here’s the Rotten Tomatoes page. I liked this movie. It wasn’t perfect but it moved along [...]
The holiday season and movies. Don’t those two things go together? We rented four movies and bought six more. Don’t panic! The ones we bought were only five dollars each!
Here’s what we rented and watched:
The Dark Knight – Yeah, the Batman movie with Heath Ledger as The Joker. Has any recent film had this much hype? [...]
