31 Days of Oscars
If you like award winning movies – from the old to the new – now is the time to become a regular Turner Classic Movie fan. Currently TCM is running their 31 Days of Oscar. During this festival, every film that TCM shows has received at least one Academy Award and/or nomination. These350 movies will be shown unedited and without commercials. (This would be a great tim to DVR some favorites). The series started February 1st and will end March 3rd. TCM chose a really cute theme this year called “TCM University.” The movies are categorized by Departments and Course Offerings. How cool is that? Today’s subject – my favorite – ENGLISH….Today you can view, Intro to Charles Dickens, Shakespeare Tragedies, and British Novelists … Read entire article »

Inkheart
Have you read this book? I’ve read it myself several times as I’ve read it with groups of students. I’m so excited to know that a movie is now coming out about this book. This is as exciting to me as many were about the Twilight movie. And I’m even more excited to learn that Brenden Fraser will be the star of Inkheart. I have loved his performance for many years. I love each of the Mummy movies, but I think I first became a Fraser fan in 1993 when he played in Son In Law. We actually have that movie on DVD and I stil pull it out and watch it from time to time. Cameron loves to watch him as George of the Jungle. If … Read entire article »

The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice
I’ve never heard of this series, but TNT is not a channel I regularly watch. After being given the opportunity to watch, “The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice” though, I will be keeping my eye out for others in this series. I’m trying now to get my hands on the past editions that I have never seen because this was a great show that my entire family all enjoyed watching. Becka (my 17 year old) is also wanting to watch the previous shows in this series. In case you’ve never heard of these movie series on TNT either, let me give you a little background. Noah Wyle stars as “Flynn, the librarian.” But he’s not a librarian who sits in a library and shelves books. Instead he … Read entire article »

Beverly Hills Chihuahua
We went and watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua today after Cameron’s softball game. I have to admit that overall I’ve not been impressed with the previews, but Cameron has been so off we went. I was hopeful since it was Disney and the voices were several actors I knew and loved, but still doubtful. Because my dad raises chihuahuas (and Cameron loves them), she was totally siked! She actually wanted to try to sneak a puppy or two into the theater. Overall, I was not overly impressed, and didn’t think this movie held the “Disney image” to me that I usually feel when watching a Disney movie; however, I was not the intended audience and Cameron loved the movie as much as she did the preview. She … Read entire article »
