Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
Am taking a breather from the 3rd week of confinement. (Confinement period seems to last forever here!) The confinement food is driving me nuts. After a while, even the most nutritious food such as steamed fish is nauseating. Sigh. Although I’m
My four picks: Sleepless in Seattle (1993), The American President (1995) and Enchanted (2007). I don’t watch very many romance dramas on the big screen. I think it’s several things: when I’m watching something at the cinema, for the expense
Now this is a very hard genre to pick from, as I watch more action and thriller movies than any other film genre. But if I had to select three favorites, I’d go with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Reservation Road (2007) – on rental. I added this film into my rental queue a couple of weeks ago in the aftermath of the tragic Air France Flight AF447 as it was a show about dealing with grief. What’s the

The third Hood film was released not only in the wake of Prince of Thieves: it was a parody of Costner’s film. I’m speaking of Mel Brooks’ Robin Hood: Men in Tights. There’s no shortage of film parodies this year,
Frost/Nixon (2008) – on rental. Director Ron Howard’s output seems to fluctuate quite a bit. On the one hand, I really liked Apollo 13 but on the other hand, his move adaptations of the two Dan Brown novels – Angels
Since I’m on the topic of sword and sorcery movies, I thought I’d do a couple of posts on Robin Hood films too.:) Like the Arthurian Legends, there’s been over the decades so much novelization and entertainment media adaptations of
Valkyrie (2008) – on rental. This was a hugely hyped film depicting the most well-known of assassination attempts on Adolf Hitler when Allied forces were approaching from both the West and East sides of Germany. The film was directed by
