I was going to write about how wrong-headed, misguided, stubborn, racist, and, frankly, idiotic the House and Senate Republicans are being, but that will have to wait. I have something more pressing on my mind, and I am sure the Republicans in the United States Congress will be just as stupid tomorrow as they are… Continue Reading
Two Can Play That Game, Mon Amie
So, Rizzo (friend in France) thinks she can distract me with luscious pictures of Alan Rickman and Jason Isaacs, does she? Well, two can play at that game. Today, up for your perusal are reviews of the second and third Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the… Continue Reading
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets–After You See It
3:29 a.m. 12/7/8/04 I watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets tonight, and I realized one thing. It is better to watch the Potter movies long after you’ve read the books so you don’t remember what the hell is going on. Come on, Harry Potter fans! Admit it. You know it’s true. Once… Continue Reading
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban–After You See It
4:55 a.m. 7/11/12/04 I just finished reading the third Harry Potter book about a week ago. To my surprise, I enjoyed it immensely. Why do I say to my surprise? Because I didn’t care for the first two books. In fact, it took me awhile to summon my courage to read book three. The only… Continue Reading
Brief Note
Today, I have posted three movie reviews I wrote a long time ago. I put them all in the ‘read after you watch’ the movie category, but you can also read them before-hand if you want to know what the main plot of the movies are. I can guarantee that you probably haven’t watched two… Continue Reading
January Man–After You See It
3:56 a.m. 12/31/04—1/1/05 Happy New Year, y’all. How apropos that I saw the movie, January Man, last night. I bought it sight unseen because it has, yes, you guessed it, Alan Rickman. It also has Susan Sarandon, which is an added bonus. Kevin Kline doesn’t do a thing for me, but Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio isn’t… Continue Reading
An Awfully Big Adventure–After You See It
3:13 a.m. 6/23/24/05 I just saw a movie which has no redeeming characters, where it would be kind to call the plot transparent, and that doesn’t seem to think there’s a single shred of human decency anywhere. Like a reviewer on IMDB.com, I labored under the misperception that this movie was a comedy—most likely because… Continue Reading
Dogma–After You See It
4:31 p.m. 12/28/04 Oh, God. I just got done watching Dogma—which wasn’t the movie I was going to watch, but that DVD wouldn’t play. So, instead of the fairyland of Peter Pan and that dastardly Captain Hook—yeah, of Wendy, too—I settled in to listen to The Voice of the One True God, er, watch a… Continue Reading
Best. Margaret Cho Video. Evah!
God, I love this woman. This is the best video ever. Remind me never to get on her bad side. I saw her live last year, and I can’t wait to see her again. Continue Reading
Reaching Out My Hand
President Obama talks at length about bipartisanship and about how he is the president of every American. He has reached out to the Republicans, and he’s gotten his hand slapped for his troubles. Still, he keeps trying. He truly seems to want to get past the bitter partisanship that has divided this country for the… Continue Reading
