A Dear One

  • Vegucated

    I like to watch documentaries, probably part of my ‘input’ trait. I like anything about cooking, food, show business, biographies, etc. So today I watched Vegucated, recently added to Netflix. While I am not vegetarian or even close to vegan, I find these films interesting. I loved Food, Inc. and Hungry for Change. Vegucated was…

  • Definately, Maybe

    I caught this flick in the hotel room today and I have to say, I thought it was adorable. A really cute flashback sort of love story where you are not really sure who gets together in the end. Although, maybe I missed something early on, but it seemed like the daughter didn’t know her…

  • Gone with the Wind

    My favorite movie. I am a movie fan, I have a degree in TV/Film, I’ve beat Scene It on the Xbox, including getting 60 questions right in a row and I can name every Best Picture Winner since 1970. So I know a little about movies. Not everything, but enough. And I love Gone with…

  • For Pete’s Sake

    I watched a wacky little movie with my dad a few years ago, called “For Pete’s Sake”. It’s a Barbra Streisand comedy from the 70s. I found it on Netflix (watch instantly!) so I watched it again. Overall, it is a pretty ridiculous movie, but parts are pretty funny. I love finding random stuff like…

  • Watch Instantly – Update

    I haven’t watched a movie yet on the xBox with Netflix, but we did get it set up. It looks to be promising once we hardwire the internet. Once I figured out that I needed the movies to already be queued in my Netflix, I logged on and added about 80 movies. I think this…

  • Netflix – Watch Instantly

    I am addicted to Netflix’s “Watch Instantly” feature. Basically, if you have an “unlimited” account (these are not the most expensive accounts either), you can access a portion of the Netflix collection online and watch them on your computer. The newest releases are not usually available and the selection is somewhat limited, but they are…

  • The Little Princess

    There’s an old Shirley Temple movie I love, called The Little Princess. Set in England, a well-to-do little girl is sent to stiff boarding school while her father goes to war. Her widowed father, the Captain, asks that all arrangements be made for her comfort, since they are very close and have never before been…

  • The Bucket List and Juno

    We saw 2 movies over the weekend. They were both pretty good, worth seeing. They were both thought provoking and funny. Sometimes if we don’t go to the movies for a while, I forget how much fun it is. And when the movie is enjoyable it’s even better.

  • Waitress, Catch and Release

    I have been looking forward to seeing the movie Waitress for quite a while now. It was a bit different than I was expecting but I really did enjoy it. Independents have a different kind of narrative. They seem to experiment with the storytelling a bit more. I like seeing the different perspective. We also…

  • Christmas Movies

    In honor of our Christmas tree, which we just put up this evening to kick off the holiday season, I thought I should post my Christmas movie list. I love Christmas movies, the funny thing was when I was growing up we all had different ideas of what Christmas movies were. For example, my dad…
