Well, Thursday at midnight, with a rather larger amount of people than I would have guessed unless I had thought about it, I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. I think that the movie was anticipated enough for me to review it to the third of the population that didn’t [...]

I saw The Phantom of the Opera this weekend. Hmmm… It had great singing and an interesting plot; but if you think of it, it was really semi-mediocre. The genius villain wanna-be hero The Phantom very un-ingeniously messes up his chances with Christine when he goes about yelling at her. The owners of the opera [...]

So, I’m sitting here thinking (and battling a bout of writer’s block) and reflect “You know, a lot a people imitate LOTR.”

Greetings and salutations from me……. Hello! Yes, I am finally back. It was a long, tedious journey, fraught with dog breath and potato chip crumbs, but I am here, and alive to tell the tale. I am going to review two movies I saw in December/January.
Warning! Spoilers for POTC [...]

It has been said, “Everyone one has a story” Or so I think I’ve heard it been said. Unfortunetly, my fictitious story is a ripoff of Pirates of the Caribbean

I had more trouble with the short-cut last night appearently, it has something to do with a certain version of Linux.
We’re sitting the neighbor’s parakeets this week; my dogs are both at least partly cocker spainials, which were (to the birds’ chagrin) bred to hunt woodcock. One of my dogs is [...]

I can read The Fellowship of the Ring now! I’m about half-way through. I understand now why my parents made me wait; it is dark. My older brother finished or almost finished his on-line coarse.
Hail to old movies! good actors, plots, and language! Where you have to listen closely so you could understand the crackly [...]
