Wall-E Not Very Subtle
I took my daughter to see Wall-E the other day. I really didn’t go in with a lot of expectations since I had barely read many reviews. I kind of knew the premise, but didn’t know a lot of details….
Watch the Damn Movie
I took Bridget to see Kung Fu Panda yesterday. We had planned to go for a while since it was her first day of summer vacation. I don’t mind going to see kid movies. I always look at a trip…
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

Alvin!!!!!!!
So Jason Lee might be a wacky Scientologist nutcase, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying “My Name is Earl.” And it didn’t stop me from loving “Alvin and the Chipmunks.” Naturally, the movie was Bridget’s choice, but I have…
Enchanted by Enchanted
If I wanted to write a snarky review of Enchanted, I could say that I liked it better the first time when they called it Splash and included John Candy quoting Swedish porn (check the 8:30 mark of this clip)…
