Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
My department at work recently made some changes to our usual monthly staff meeting – before the meeting begins, we’ll take turns each month to demonstrate a game we’re playing. The first game that was demoed wasn’t a well-known mass
Continued from the earlier post.:) I really enjoyed The American President a lot too, and there’s a similar theme to that of Sleepless in Seattle. Michael Douglas – Mr. Catherine-Zeta Jones LOL – plays the Democrat American President Andrew Shepherd
Taken (2008) – on rental. I didn’t catch this film when it was shown in theatres here, but my interest was piqued when lead actor Liam Neeson’s wife Miranda Richardson was killed in that fatal ski accident while Neeson was
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

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
