So I saw the raunchy (read in: fart jokes, boob jokes, etc.) skit comedy Movie 42 today (think Kentucky Fried Movie). It’s billing itself as wrong and offensive and it took about 2 minutes after Hugh Jackman shows up on … Continue reading
Also so the historically accurate Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Yes, this is a real thing. Hansel and Gretel get kidnapped, kill the witch, grow up, arm themselves with rapid-fire stake throwers, Gatling guns, phonographs (?), and hunt witches throughout… … Continue reading

Never read the (1400 page!) book, never saw a non-singing movie version, never seen the musical stage play, and never seen a filmed version of it as a musical – but saw Les Miserables today (all 2 hrs and 30 … Continue reading
Saw The Impossible – the apparently true story of a family on vacation when the 2004 tsunami hit – and how they survived and the human spirit and courage was exalted and such. Very good movie – very scary movie … Continue reading
