[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1ruZEUuhTQ I’m a movie junkie. I see at least one a month but most often, I see a whole lot more. Last weekend had me checking out Amanda Seyfried’s new movie Gone. Amanda plays Jill Parrish, a young woman living out a uniquely female nightmare. A year ago she was abducted from her bed and…
They say that breaking up is hard to do – and they are right. But sometimes having the right musical accompaniment can make all the difference. Lots of songs denote the anger felt when you are heartlessly dumped (or they don’t have the decency to dump you and move on before you even know there…
I don’t like to eat my veggies. A large part of this is that I am just not creative with them. Another part is that until recently my husband refused to eat half the vegetables in the market, thus denying me a chance to cook with them. And to be honest, I always preferred them…
In her blog titled Stuart’s Coat, Sara’s Spectacles, and Jessica’s Glove , Sandy talked about “those hit-you-in-the-heart scenes. The kind you remember. The kind you share with other readers who very often respond “Yes!” The kind that make you feel what the characters are feeling.” In other words, the magic moments, the ones that define…
I love love songs. From medieval ballads like Greensleeves to power ballads like Sweet Child of Mine there is nothing more romantic than a truly heartfelt musical tribute.

Theirs is a bittersweet history. Bitter in that the tale contains horrifiying accounts of the bigotry…
After hearing the endless buzz about how great this show was I finally added it to my Roku. Watched one episode. Then another. And another. Then glommed them over the course of the week till I was done. The last time I remember being this intrigued by a show was two years ago when I…
It used to be that January through May were the dead seasons at the box office. Sure, there were surprise hits like Mall Cop but for the most part these were months reserved for horror films or a few love stories for Valentines Day. It’s looking like the studios have put an end to that…
I love rock music. By rock, I mean classic rock like The Cars and The Who, pop rock like Video Games by Lana del Rey, classic pop like Men at Work, fun rhythms like those of No Doubt, punk in the style of Green Day or the Ramones, indie groups like Arcade Fire – you…
The Economy. Yep, I’m going there. Right now, unemployment and the economy are the most important issues in the minds of the American voter. But let’s face it. Few of us actually understand economics, especially the kind of big picture economics that make up the finances of a nation. The fun solution? These truly cool…
