About Me

I'm a freelance writer, graphic designer and artist; a military spouse; mother of two (including a precious little boy with autism) and an avid movie lover. I majored in radio/TV/film (20 years ago) because I could make A's watching movies. Over the years I worked in advertising, publishing and corporate communications. Now I … more

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
   First, I have a confession. I went to this movie in a feeble attempt to somehow prove to myself that this 40-year-old stay-at-home mom is still hip. (Do they even use the word …

Better Off Dead
Better Off Dead (1985) is my ultimate piece of '80s nostalgia. In high school, my buddies and I watched this movie hundreds of times, and even though we could recite the film word for word, …

Temple Grandin (2010)
Every once in awhile a movie is made that expands truth and dispels misunderstandings of certain stereotypes. Forrest Gump. A Beautiful Mind. And now, Temple Grandin.      This …

Robin Hood (Single-Disc Unrated Director's Cut)
Had there never been a Braveheart or Gladiator, Robin Hood probably would have been a much better film. Unfortunately for the producers -- and the viewers -- this film tried to live up to its similar …

Jeff Bridges stars in his Academy Award winning performance as Bad Blake, a washed-up country music singer who has resorted to traveling alone in a beat-up pickup truck, …

posted a Quick Tip about Megamind 3D. November 07, 2010
MEGAMIND (3D Animated Movie)
This was actually funnier than I expected, probably because I read Rotten Tomatoes' reviews before going. Not as good as Despicable Me, but fun nonetheless. The story line was different than I expected, …

Grown Ups (2010)
It takes a little time for the film to find its footing, but by the end I was giggling so hard I had tears pouring down my cheeks. The overall message of the film was good as well -- family and friends …

Iron Man 2
I just sat through Iron Man 2 for the second time, and must say I enjoyed this go around better than my first screening. Perhaps it was because I was with a friend who did nto see the original, so he …

The Proposal
I thought Bullock was simply unbelievable as a tyrantical boss, and therefore the movie just flopped.
posted a Quick Tip about Dear John. July 30, 2010
Dear John
I found this to be a long, unlikely and frankly unlikable romance. The character of John was so emotionally detached, not to mention just quiet, that the romance was pretty unbelievable for me. The fact …

The Story of the Weeping Camel
I actually made fun of my husband when he told me he was watching this film one night on TV. "Only you," I thought rolling my eyes. But try as I might to avoid the story, the documentary about a mother …
