    “The Shawshank Redemption” Movie Review

    “The Shawshank Redemption” Movie Review Simply the best movie ever made. Chau and Carol both love(d) “The Shawshank Redemption”.  Interestingly, I only found this out one night while discussing favorite movies with Chau.  I mentioned that my favorite movie of all time was “The Shawshank Redemption”.  She looked at me in shock…and told me it…

  • “The Lincoln Lawyer” Movie Review

    “The Lincoln Lawyer” Movie Review Terrific movie! As a mobile lawyer (he works out of his Lincoln Continental) walking the line between honest and dishonest, Matthew McConaughey hits a grand slam! This movie is based on the first Mickey Haller book by Michael Connelly (even though he writes in my favored genre, as TracyReaderDad, I…

    “Morning Glory” Movie Review Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton and Patrick Wilson all rock in “Morning Glory”.  We wanted to see this in the movies, but, did not, so we watched it on VUDU.

    “love & other drugs” Movie Review

    Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway have major chemistry in this love story based in 1996 (so the technology shown is interestingly dated). Jake is a med school dropout with a great personality for selling….and attracting women (and having sex with them anywhere, anytime….geeez, they even page him).  After losing his job at an electronics store…

  • “Salt” Movie Review

    “Salt” Movie Review

    “Salt” Movie Review After much effort, I finally convinced Lori to watch “Salt” on VUDU.  Not sure why she was hesitant, but, I suspect Angelina Jolie had something to do with it.  🙂 “Salt” is a great action movie.  Car chases, shootings, bombings, intrigue and twists & turns that will keep you guessing what is…
