What, to you, makes a movie good or, even, great? After Superstorm Sandy, my husband and I refurbished our downstairs den into a movie room. Ever since that time, once a month a group of friends come over, and we bring in dinner and enjoy a movie. Saturday night’s move was “Don’t Worry Darling.” Being a science fiction fan, I was the only one w …
I think the internet has changed the importance and use of movie trailers. Before the internet, a trailer would come on television a few weeks before the movie was released.

It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m watching my husband prepare meat and fish for a bar-b-que. All four of our children are coming for dinner with their significant others. When the kids were young, Sunday dinner was always a must; whether we were cooking dinner or bringing in food. No matter what the kids had to do, reports, homework etc., it all had …

They are meant to totally captivate you and bring you into their world. And for two hours you’re transplanted to somewhere else and your sense of what’s going on in your …
It happened again a few nights ago. I was having some trouble sleeping so I began channel surfing. As I came upon one certain movie, I knew my surfing would come to an end. I can never seem to get past it. Whenever it comes up on my television screen, I have to stop and watch it. The movie was “Goodfellas.” I have seen it more times than I ca …
If I’m running a bit slow this morning it’s because I stayed up last night to watch the Oscars. And while I love the show itself, it’s really the walking of the red carpet that I love the most. I am not sure why I enjoy watching the celebrities but it is an annual tradition for me. I pour myself a glass of wine, sit in front of our high defin …
It's Monday, Monday. Let me know what you think about. . .
