Classic Movie Re-Watch Review – It’s A Wonderful Life
I have to watch It’s A Wonderful Life (IAWL) every year during the holidays. It’s just one of those movies like that annoying drunk uncle at the family reunion…. it never goes away. I revisited Bedford Falls yet again, and this time with my husband (Scott) because he had never seen it (I know, clutch my pearls).…

Movie Review – Beautiful Boy
—
Being a retired nurse, I feel qualified to recommend this movie to anyone going through recovery, or any friend or family member who’s trying desperately to stand by their side. Beautiful Boy succeeds — where so many other have have failed — in showing the insanity of addiction. Never, at any time, did I feel…

Movie Review – Life Itself
—
Typically, I don’t read other critics’ reviews before writing my own. However, I felt compelled to do so after seeing a blurb that condemned *Life Itself* to the fiery pits of Hell. I do not agree.

Movie Review – Adrift
Adrift is both more and less than I expected. I expected long, languid scenes of a sailboat floating aimlessly at sea; I expected storms; I expected frequent stretches where Tami (Shailene Woodley) learns to sail. Those bits were in there. [pullquote]What I didn’t expect: the absence of any kind of compelling narrative in what should…

Adrift Movie Trailers
I’m interested to see this take on yet another survival story – I always enjoy those. This time, the setting is somewhere at sea, with the added complication of the only experienced sailor incapacitated, and possibly dying. The word is that this movie is based on a true story – I would guess loosely based,…

Movie Review – Life of the Party
—
This little movie is pretty darn cute. It’s got a happy spirit to it, and Melissa McCarthy did a bang up job. I’m not a huge fan of hers, but this was highly amusing, and had a sweet bit of heart. The sorority girls are especially charming, and Deanna’s adult best friend steals the show…

Entertainment News – [pullquote]Melissa McCarthy’s new comedy Life of the Party is banking heavily on nostalgia for bygone college days.[/pullquote] I know the feeling. I’m 50 myself, and miss the my old school days, my long-lost chums, and the sense of being in a contained world where my only worries concern studying, learning, and deciding if…
