Movie Premiere Dates

Did you ever wonder how the movie production companies pick the premier dates for upcoming motion pictures? You wouldn’t think that they’d pit similar movies or two potential blockbusters against each other. This subject came to mind when two movies I really want to see opened on the same day last week – Harry Potter [...]

Remake. Take Two.

Hubby and I have noticed for a couple of years now that less and less original movies are coming out. What I mean is that we’re seeing more and more remakes. It’s probably a safe bet that many of the successful movies that were out fifteen to twenty years ago have been remade or are [...]

Maid In Manhattan

Are you a J Lo fan? I mean J Lo as an actress, not a singer. I’ve seen a couple of her movies and have enjoyed the ones that I’ve seen. One movie was Maid In Manhattan, which was on again today. In Maid In Manhattan J Lo is Marisa, a relatively poor, working class [...]

The Many Faces Of Star Trek

I’m 44. I loved the original Star Trek series. You know, the one with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. I’ve probably seen every episode several times. I’ve seen the Star Trek movies. Then they were over and we were introduced to Star Trek: The Next Generation. I watched a good number of those too. I [...]

The movie begins with Connor setting out to try [...]

Sd Movies

A while back I’d heard that movies were being made available on SD cards, also known as secure digital cards. I can see where the advantage would be the size – an SD card takes much less room to store than a VHS tape or even a DVD. But that size would also mean your [...]

Hindenburg Scenery Still Standing

So many fictional disaster movies have been made that I can’t but wonder why Hollywood doesn’t take one of America’s most dramatic tragedies and do a feature on it. Cameron did the epic Titanic. So how about some producer doing the Hindenburg? The actual location of the event in the Pinelands remains today much like [...]

Taxi Fare

How is it that on tv and in the movies they don’t show money situations like they happen in real life. Take a taxi ride. If you and I took a taxi ride we’d need to go into our purse or wallet and get the right amount of money out and give it to the [...]

At the Movies

While watching a movie recently, I couldn’t hear the dialogue over the chatter of the two women sitting in front of me. Unable to bear it any longer, I tapped one of them on the shoulder. “Excuse me,” I said, “I can’t hear.” “I should hope not,” she replied sharply. “This is a private conversation.” [...]
