As you know – if you’ve been paying attention – I’ve been keeping a visual record of my 2013 Reading Challenge. I decided, over the weekend, that it might be interesting to do the same for all the movies/TV series/etc. that I watch this year as well. And so I started a new board on […]

On My To Watch List…
CATEGORY: cinema, cinephile, Cineworld, Croods, films, Gogs, Monsters University, movies, Star Trek, to watch, trailers, You TubeThe hubby surprised me with Frankenweenie last week because he knew that I wanted to see it in the cinema but didn’t make it in time. One of the trailers that came on while I was watching it absolutely floored me. I can’t wait for this one! How freaking adorable does Monsters University look?! Too […]

Surprise!
My husband is an expert at ruining surprises. Not intentionally, mind you, just accidentally. It started many years ago when, trying to surprise him, I ordered him a DVD that he’d been really wanting, intending to give it to him for an upcoming holiday. The DVD arrived while I was out and I’d forgotten to […]

Meme of the Week
This week, you get the meme that launched a rant: As you can tell, I’m not crazy about Pope Francis I. You can say whatever you want about him wanting to make the church a “poor church” blah blah blah – but until he wants to end bigotry and hate too, I don’t like him. […]

A Day at the Pictures
It would appear that Cineworld have started listing movies that you can pre-book along with the movies that are currently showing. Annoying much? Yes, I think so. Why am I so annoyed? Because I wasn’t paying attention, that’s why. Between Cineworld listing movies for the wrong dates and me not paying attention, I ended up […]

A Song for Sunday: Paloma Faith – Picking Up the Pieces
CATEGORY: A Song for Sunday, audiophile, Fall to Grace, music, music videos, Paloma Faith, Picking Up the Pieces, songsHow do you pick one song to share when you love the whole album? That was my dilemma this week. I knew that I wanted to share a song from Paloma Faith’s Fall to Grace because I’ve been listening to it a lot this week but I couldn’t decide which one to share because the […]

A Snake for St. Patrick
Tomorrow is March 17: St. Patrick’s Day. A day held sacred mostly by raucous Americans who see the day as nothing more than an excuse to kiss random people, dress in lurid shades of green and drink as much beer as humanly possible while parading wildly in the streets. But who was St. Patrick? And […]

From Book to Big Screen
I recently saw Beautiful Creatures and was impressed with how well it was done. The book was a more complete story, of course, but it’s hard to due a book like that justice in only two hours. One of the trailers that ran before Beautiful Creatures started was for the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s […]

On My To Watch List…
During my recent trip to the cinema, I didn’t see any trailers that made me go, “OMG! I have to see this!” but I did see a couple that looked interesting. Take Olympus Has Fallen, for example: I think this is a story line that has been done a hundred times before – cop screws […]
