Better than I expected: Eastern Promises

nobody@vox.com(eliz. s.) — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:57:53 -0700

When this film came out I really wanted to see it in the theatre, but stayed away because I heard how violent it was. So I rented it from Netflix and watched it last night (and fast forwarded through the few gruesomely violent scenes). I really...

The Lives of Others

nobody@vox.com(eliz. s.) — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 12:45:53 -0700

I spread this film out over the weekend, and finally finished it last night. What a dark film, and yet, it has such a pleasant ending. I was amazed by the acting in this film, especially by Ulrich Mühe. He is phenomenal as the East German Staz...

This past Sunday, we skipped church (our pastor wasn't preaching since he's on vacation). Earlier in the week, I had traded a friend from church her DVD of "Wives and Daughters" for mine of "North and South" (yes, I loved it so much that I had ...

Children of Men

This past weekend, among the great amount of reading I did, I made time to watch this DVD from Netflix. It had been sitting on my DVD player since the weekend we moved. I knew that I had to be in the right mood to watch Oscar nominated Children...

Review: La Vie en Rose

nobody@vox.com(Matthew 25) — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 12:20:00 -0700

In the early 1990s, I had the honor of visiting Edith Piaf 's grave in Paris. I knew little of her music and nothing of her life at the time. My late partner, Mike, and I were in Père Lachaise Cemetery because our friend, Chuck, had recommended i...

Sicko

nobody@vox.com(Matthew 25) — Sat, 19 May 2007 11:38:48 -0700

Michael Moore seems to be doing more than making movies. Helping the sick and loving your enemies are good Christian (and other faiths too) virtues. Bravo! Michael Moore is enjoying major buzz at the Cannes Film Festival for his new film, “Sicko...

Ocean's 13 - back to basics

nobody@vox.com(paikea) — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 06:24:20 -0700

All caper, all the time - this one was all about the con - if you're looking for plot twists, do not look here - if you're looking for super serious, do not look here - if you're looking for an easy, breezy, enjoyable old-style con caper, look no ...
