Yep, along with the rest of the movie going world, we went to see Avengers this weekend—and I know everyone else went to see it too, because the dang thing has crossed 1.2 billion dollars worldwide in three weeks! Go Joss!
Well, no surprise, we LOVED it. And in case you’re [...]
Last week at the library, we checked the first Harry Potter movie on a lark. I had read the first book to the kids last year (I read all the books when they were coming out, adored them) and Luc has the Lego Harry Potter game on the ipad, so they were familiar with the [...]
I saw “Rango” this weekend with the kids, an entertaining Western about a misplaced chameleon lizard and a town drying up in the Mohave desert. Visually, the movie is superb, the dialogue is awesome, the jokes are funny…but both Paul and I found ourselves getting bored in the middle. Despite it’s excellence in many ways, [...]
In keeping with our theme of likable villains (see our review of Despicable Me and Heinz Doofenshmirtz), the kids and I went to see Megamind yesterday. In a word, six thumbs up.
[...]
Hereafter, Clint Eastwood’s new movie, is what you get when an 80 year old grandmaster visual storyteller at the height of his powers decides to explore the Big D. Death in a movie. In other words…
Wow.
On the surface, this is three interlocking stories: a French journalist nearly drowns in [...]
For Paul’s birthday, we had key-lime pie and a matinee showing of The Last Airbender. And while I understand why people are complaining, especially anyone new to the story, it is not the awful, soul sucking event that the tidal wave of terrible reviews would have you believe.
The good:
1- [...]
Excuses: I had the weirdest, sudden, extreme allergy attack this weekend. Came on as exhaustion, culminated in 36 hours of non-stop sneeze attacks, drip drip drip runny nose, and super intense itchy eyes and palate. And now it seems to be 90% gone. Sources say the plantains have just bloomed—could I have a weird and [...]
I used to (read: before kids) go to movies all the time. I love going to the movies! But now, I maybe only get to the theater once or twice a year. Maybe. So, on a lark today, when Paul took a surprise afternoon off, I thought, heck, I’m going to go see something. Something [...]
It was a quiet long-weekend around here for us. But I did get my semi-annual mommy-afternoon-off—woo hoo! I decided to go to the movies, all by my own little self. Man, I used to love going to the movies. I’d meet my cousin every Monday and see a matinee of…whateverthefuck, I sure didn’t care. But [...]
I heard a “This American Life” once where one of the stories was about this guy, a huge Star Wars fan as a kid (as was I), who had been so upset by Phantom Menace that he found himself rewriting it, nightly, as he fell asleep. He worked out a whole elaborate plot and explained, [...]

"Dusi's Wings" April, 2003. . . .
"One thing fantasy can do for us is to give shape to the mysterious in the world; another is to make emotional yearning concrete. The early sections of "Dusi's Wings" do just that...there was a strong grasping towards the spiritual in fantasy here that was very promising, and I look forward to reading more by Lassiter." --review, Tangent Online.twitterage
