We ended up having our family movie night Friday and watched the film Up.
I didn’t think it would be a movie I would enjoy because the plot seemed a bit too simple. But, it ended up being a very funny movie.
The first few minutes of the film are somewhat …

American Graffitti was all the rage when it came out, but it did little for me. In truth, I didn’t see it for a long time after the release, and it may have suffered from overkill. By that, I mean that there was so much publicity for …

Winner of six Academy Awards, this Rob Marshall masterpiece is just that, a masterpiece. At the height of Chicago’s jazz world, and all that goes with it, crime has become an art-form, or so says the slick Billy Flinn (Richard Gere). Crime has become sensationalized, and murder is no …
