I feel a little uncomfortable about confessing this, but Christopher Plummer in The Sound of Music was my first celebrity crush.
I know, I know. Believe me, my sisters have said plenty about the subject. (In my defense, I was under 12 years old, so my crush can’t be held against me.) But when I discovered [...]
Nia Vardalos, who wrote and starred in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, headlines another Greek-themed romantic comedy. In My Life in Ruins, Georgia goes to Greece to teach at a university, but her life plans fall through and she’s hit rock bottom. Now she’s a tour guide, and not a very good one. She hates [...]
Jen the Twin: Men Who Stare at Goats looks a little strange, but it has Ewan McGregor and George Clooney in it — Me likey!
Me: You couldn’t pay me to see this movie.
Jen the Twin: I’m not a big fan of disaster films, but the special effects in 2012 look impressive — and so does [...]
This weekend there were plenty of Halloween events for all ages in my town. It’s kind of strange seeing adult men walking around as zombies and mummies on a Saturday afternoon.
I think the most popular costume was the vampire. There were campy vampires. Scary vampires. Gross vampires. Yet not one sexy, bad boy vampire. I’m [...]
With the passing of Patrick Swayze, people have been talking about the movies he made. The most well-known are his romantic movies Dirty Dancing and Ghost. Jennifer, my twin sister, remembers how much of a big deal Dirty Dancing was when we were in high school. I think “I Had the Time of My Life” [...]
I went to see Julie & Julia last night. Of course there were a bazillion movie trailers before the actual movie. One trailer was for another Meryl Streep movie called It’s Complicated. From the looks of it, Meryl is pursued by two men played by Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin.
A teenager sitting nearby turned to [...]

I’m in the middle of a Harry Potter movie marathon. I should have remembered that each movie was over 2 hours before I accepted the invitation. I swear, it feels more like a challenge!
And it turns out I don’t remember a lot about the movies. I should also mention I haven’t read the Harry Potter series, [...]
I enjoy watching romantic comedies, and I’m also a Sandra Bullock fan, so it was a no-brainer that I would go see The Proposal.
The movie was light and funny, and it delivered everything I expect from a romantic comedy. However, it didn’t offer anything new. There’s even a scene which gave me a sense of [...]
I finally got around to watching the Twilight movie, and I’m feeling a little out of step with the rest of the world. While my friends and their daughters loved the movie, I thought it was kind of meh. It could be because I’m not in touch with my inner teenager. Or it could be [...]
