I thought this was a wonderful little movie. It’s a great fantasy coming of age story that is firing on all cylinders. First of all, it looks beautiful, the production design is top notch. Second, it’s filled with great actors who all deliver, especially Deniro and Pfeiffer. Third, the story Read more…
This is why it’s important to hang around people younger than you. Jamie, one of Lynn’s two charming sons (who were staying with us this week) introduced me to a new board game. He actually showed it to me when he was here last time, but since I lost my Read more…
Oh. My. God. This was freaking hilarious. I was laughing at my monitor at work. People thought I was nuts. Again. But they just don’t understand, it’s not me, it’s Bjork. Ever since that kooky broad wore a swan to an awards show I have been waiting for someone to Read more…

So I finally saw this movie. It came out in August in the Netherlands and I saw it after I came back from Peru. I have to say, I liked it and I didn’t at the same time. The movie was well-written, as far as any Superman movie can be Read more…
I’ve seen this Lynx commercial twice now at the theaters and I think it is the best commercial ever made. Ever.
So I went to go see this by myself since I know no one and am a loser (and decided to see it at 10:20 at night on a Sunday on the spur of the moment). I had read that JJ Abrams, who created Alias, which I really liked for Read more…
