Last night, the husband and I watched Identity, a 2003 movie I’d never heard of. In flipping through the on-screen guide, I stumbled across it and recorded it on a whim. An hour and a half later, after the kids went to bed, we watched it. What made me hit record on a movie I’d [...]

Last night I had to sign a permission slip for the Tall Kid. Not for a field trip, but for English class. They’ll be studying Frankenstein by, apparently, watching the 1994 film, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which the teacher referred to as “powerful”.
Okay, it does have an impressive cast: Robert De Niro, Kenneth Branagh, Helena Bonham [...]

I’ll start with NCIS: Los Angeles: Not a fan. I have a feeling if we continue watching it, it’ll be because it’s on after NCIS and there’s nothing else to watch.
The good: LL Cool J. I love him and I think he doesn’t get enough credit as an actor. He’s also eleventy billion kinds [...]

My husband went north this weekend. Without us. There was a poker run going on and some of “the guys” were going and, since those particular guys ride their ATVs faster than I drive my car, the boys and I graciously bowed out. Fast food, video games, watching movies. Yeah, life was tough.
Friday night I [...]

Disco week? :gaah:
Dear Lil Rounds: (“I’m Every Woman” by Chaka Khan) I didn’t like that at all. I thought it was blah and bland and…not good. Just slightly better than average karaoke, and you’re already topping my list of who I want to see go home.
Mr S says: 5.5
Dear Kris Allen: (“She Works [...]

Movies! Awesome! But let’s pretend none of you saw Titanic, okay?
Dear Quentin Tarantino: I don’t like seeing you on television because I think you’re hot and that disturbs me. You disturb me. You’re very dark. But funny. Is it your dark and funny creative genius that draws me to you? It ain’t the hair.
Dear [...]

(Note: Most of you probably already know who left because I’m horribly late. Unfortunately, now that NCIS and The Mentalist have come out of repeats, we DVR’d Idol and only watched it yesterday evening after supper. I’ve managed to avoid all Idol news, but after I post this I’ll go hunt up the results.)
Question: Why [...]

So I was talking to somebody who doesn’t really have great taste in on-screen men (which is good, because I’m married to him), and was horrified to learn he doesn’t really like Nathan Fillion.
Seriously?
(Maybe that’s because he knows that’s the one guy on the planet I’d leave him for.)
Anyway, he said you’d already have to [...]

First, Dear Producers: About them singing the Michael Jackson catalogue—once David Cook did his jaw-dropping rendition of Billie Jean, the MJ songs should have been taken off the table. The bar, he set that sucker so high it whacked the ISS.
Dear Lil Rounds: The Way You Make Me Feel—You’ve been one of my top three [...]

I love awards shows, but I don’t have a lot of success actually watching them because:
The Country Music Awards: The husband snorts, says “Yeah, right” and finds something else to watch.
The Oscars: While I love the opening bits, the enjoyment factor is seriously reduced when you haven’t seen any of the movies.
The Emmys: [...]
