Netflix vs Blockbuster Online

I wasn’t considering Blockbuster Online because I thought there was no way they could possibly have all the esoteric documentaries I like to watch via Netflix. Now that Netflix is doing really stupid things, I thought I would run a comparison. Of the 96 movies in my Netflix DVD queue, Blockbuster Online has 87 of … Continue reading »

Foreign Heathers

We all know that movies get different names in countries other than the one where they were produced. Usually it’s a direct translation from their English title, but not always. What gets really interesting, though, is when you translate the foreign titles in Google. The 1989 movie “Heathers” was called Escuela de jóvenes asesinos in … Continue reading »

Movie Review: Yes Man

I can’t say that I was really thrilled with Yes Man. I wanted to see it because I was curious about the concept of saying yes to everything, which originated with British humorist Danny Wallace, who did exactly that for six months as an experiment. I am not a big Jim Carrey fan, and my … Continue reading »

Movie Review: Milk

:A: and I went to see Milk with my mom today. It was only playing at The Charles, so we went to Baltimore and had lunch at The Yabba Pot beforehand. We got to the movie a few minutes before it started and settled in to watch. To say I was unimpressed would be an … Continue reading »

End of the Month

Tonight I went with my best friends to see Mamma Mia – the movie, not the play. I hadn’t been expecting to, but I found out this morning that they had already made plans, so I asked if I could join. The movie was cute, but damn, I really see why they say there is … Continue reading »

Netflix Documentaries

This is a quasi-meme. If you have Netflix, go to your queue and look in the “Genre” column for documentaries. Pick 5 and post them. It’s okay if you post less than 5, but not more, so we can keep things tidy! Personally I have a lot more than 5, I love documentaries. That’s why … Continue reading »

Sweet Nothing

IMDb says that if I enjoyed “Sweet Nothing in My Ear” I will enjoy “Sound and Fury” – well, that’s pretty accurate, because the former is basically a fictionalized version of the latter. Yup, the old CI debate again, this time starring Marlee Matlin and Jeff Daniels.Thoughts: It showed that some deaf people are very … Continue reading »

Posting from the Plane

Today I did practically nothing except fly a lot. I did get to see Enchanted without having to subject any loved ones to it; it was nowhere near as good as I’d heard or even as good as I’d hoped. (Hey, I wonder what we’re flying over, there’s weird areas of green light! We’re descending … Continue reading »

Frilly Diving Horses

Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken is on TV, it’s the 1991 movie about the old Atlantic City diving horses and the girl who was blinded during a dive. I was 10 when the movie came out, and I loved horses, so I loved this movie! But I haven’t seen it in at least a dozen … Continue reading »
