    (Fun for Kids, Snooze Worthy for Parents) – – I want to snooze it snooze it….halfway through the movie I heard an unusual buzzing sound on my left.  I looked over and saw Lori snoring away!  I then looked around and saw several parents with tilted heads apparently, also, in sleep mode.  Very funny.  But…..the kids (and…

    “Men in Black 3” Movie Review

      – – There is one secret the universe does not know about.  But to find out what that is, you have to ride a somewhat uneven MIB3 all the way to the end.  At times MIB3 is funny and exciting, at times it is boring, and at times it is poignant. An escaped prisoner travels…

    (Great fun if you love slapstick) – – Moe, Larry, and Curly (Curley?).  How I was looking forward to this movie, and guess what, yuk, yuk….it was GREAT!

  • “The Hunger Games” Movie Reivew

    (Excellent, Brutal, Follows the Book) Rant:  For some reason, the Youtube video’s that are normally allowed to be “embedded” were not allowed for “The Hunger Games”.  I suspect popularity had something to do with this….For the record: I think all movies should be open for embedding. Go to Youtube to see this…. – – Note:…

    “Journey 2 The Mysterious Island” Movie Review

    (corny fun, terrific special effects) – – The special effects in this movie are awesome.  I do not care for 3D in the movies (not as good as Disneyland, and too pricey), but, I am disappointed that I did not see “Journey 2 The Mysterious Island” in 3D.  My guess is that it would be…
