My kind of feel-good movies

By Andrew on Feb 6, 2010 | In Film | Send feedback »

I like falling asleep with the TV on.  I don't know why, but if I am having trouble sleeping, sometimes all it takes is turning on the TV.  But I usually put on one of a handful of movies that I watch over and over again. These are the movies I like to… more »

Shoot Em Up lives up to name

By Andrew on Sep 8, 2007 | In Film | 1 feedback »

I haven't been paying much attention to the movies that are out right now. And so when Melanie and I decided at the last minute yesterday that we wanted to go on a date, we weren't making a very informed decision regarding what movie to go see. We quic… more »

Early Morning Movies

This morning I took my son to see Ice Age: The Meltdown at one of those early morning, cheap kids movies. Only $1 per person, and it was a nice theater, not one of those second run theaters. This was his first time at a real movie theater, and he lov… more »

The Third Decade

Yesterday saw my 30th birthday come and go. I didn't really care too much about the milstone, until about a week ago. I started thinking more about how I will never again be able to say that I am in my 20s. How the hair I am losing will never come bac… more »

My Post "Post-Oscar-Wrap-Up" Wrap-Up

By Andrew on Mar 12, 2006 | In Film, Television | Send feedback »

A few thoughts: Can't they just get rid of the best song category, and leave screwing decent musical artists to the Grammys? Where else can you have three completely disparate choices such as those offered (and aren't there supposed to be five? Were t… more »

Worst movie title, great movie

By Andrew on Feb 11, 2006 | In Film | Send feedback »

Last night we rented The Constant Gardener. I cannot fathom why anyone thought that The Constant Gardener would be a compelling title. It wasn't bad enough that the book was titled "The Constant Gardener," the movie had to be stuck with the same lacklu… more »

Top Ten of 2005

By Andrew on Dec 29, 2005 | In Film, Music, Books, General, Television | 6 feedbacks »

Since work was fairly slow this morning, I spent a little time considering what I would put on a top ten of 2005 list. First, I had to consider what categories belonged. Being like Rob Gordon from High Fidelity, I believe my list must include books, fi… more »

Can We Sue?

By Andrew on Dec 2, 2005 | In Film | 4 feedbacks »

Melanie and I just finished watching "Laws of Attraction." Three thoughts arise: 1) Who wrote this drivel and thought it good enough to pitch to a movie studio? 2) Who read this script and gave positive feedback to the author? 3) What studio… more »

Millions

By Andrew on Nov 26, 2005 | In Film | 2 feedbacks »

Director Danny Boyle's newest fantasy Millions is like Shallow Grave meets The Butcher Boy meets something sweeter, like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, although I also thought of A Simple Plan as well. The film focuses on two brothers who com… more »

Batman Begins

By Andrew on Oct 30, 2005 | In Film | Send feedback »

Last night Melanie and I finally saw Batman Begins. I had been looking forward to it because I expected Christopher Nolan to redeem the series' sullied reputation by undoing all of the wrongs perpetrated by Joel Schumacher. This film is by far better… more »
