I just saw 3:10 to Yuma. I watched it with a buddy and we both thought it was pretty good. The story was fine and the acting was excellent.
I love a good western.
By the way, the Movie Review Query Engine is a great site for finding reviews of movies you may be interested in […]

Last night I watched Pan’s Labyrinth.
Good, good movie. Very dark, but beautiful, with a dash of gospel thrown in at the end.
The Pale Man was one scary character.
If I had seen a picture of him when I was a kid I would have never slept again.

I’ve seen a couple of good movies in the last week:  “Zodiac” and “Amazing Grace.”  Two very different movies but both are well made and worth watching. A theme common to both movies is obsession and the toll it takes on those committed to a cause.
Our staff is reading Slaves, Women and Homosexuals: Exploring the […]

We really liked Happy Feet. That’s based solely on one thing: the boys laughed a lot. They came hope trying to dance like a penguin. Sure, there were the usual adult messages and themes embedded in the funny stuff, but I didn’t pay much attention to all of that. I […]

I’m not a huge baseball fan, but I usually tune in for the World Series. I really don’t care who wins this year, but I’ve got more friends pulling for the Cards than for the Tigers. This forces me to root for the Tigers. Besides, if the Tigers are good enough for […]

I don’t get Terence Malick movies.
I didn’t get “The Thin Red Line.”
I didn’t get “The New World.”
The pace is way too slow and the loopy voiceovers don’t work for me.

Lots going on, but not much to talk about.
I had a great “getting things done” day around the house yesterday. I checked off a long list of to-do’s that needed to get done.
I’m reading Simply Christian by N. T. Wright. As is usual for Wright, it’s good. I’d love to get a […]

I took the boys to see “Cars” on Friday afternoon. They loved the action and pretty colors and goofy voices. I loved the story. It spoke to me more than any movie has in a while.

We’re already way behind on summer movie watching.
Haven’t seen DVC or X-Men yet. Did see MI3, which could have also been titled, “Watch Tom Cruise Run A Whole Bunch”
Two movies I’m really looking forward to: Superman and Miami Vice.
