Legally Blonde 1
Legally Blonde is all about a clumsy-in-love woman named Elle Woods who did everything against all odds to prove that she’s got both beauty and brains. I kinda love this movie although it gets a little corny sometimes with some scenes about her crying over her boyfriend who already …

Netflix

Call Me Madam musical
In 1953, Twentieth Century-Fox released the marvelous musical, Call Me Madam with Ethel Merman, Donald O’Connor, and Vera-Ellen. It’s high-powered, high-energy, and high-five fun.

War and Peace: A Film by King Vidor (1956)

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Ah, yes…those lovable little Ewoks. Those, cute, cuddly little bear-like bundles of joy helped bring a happy ending to this final installment of not only the original trilogy, but chronologically the entire saga of the life and death of Annakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader.

The New Daughters of Joshua Cabe movie
This is the third Joshua Cabe movie and it’s the third set of daughters. The original casting was the best. You just can’t beat the combination of Buddy Ebsen, Karen Valentine, Lesley Ann Warren, and Sandra Dee. There’s a lot of talent there. When Cabe’s …
