Well OK, maybe they were graduates of MIT, Princeton and other schools who card counted mostly in Atlantic City to raise money for… well for whatever you can buy with money. The [...]

If you are having trouble getting into a baseball mood here at the beginning of the season I would suggest adding a few baseball movies to your Netflix.com queue. There are a number of movies that could work like The Natural , Damn Yankees, Eight Men Out, Bang the Drum Slowly, Angels in the Outfield, [...]

An article in the USA Today called “10 great places to check into movie-hotel history” got me thinking about how much my family (especially my son Mike who is now a film student) have enjoyed the times when our love for movies and our love of travel has intersected.
The DVD for You’ve Got Mail has [...]

Definitely Maybe is a love story. That much was clear from the trailer. What was not clear was who it was a love story about.

I first remember seeing Nicolas Cage in Raising Arizona. Among the thoughts I did not have when I first saw Cage is “hey this guy would make a good action movie star”. But someone had that bright idea and Cage has made a number of good movies in the genre including National Treasure.
The Makers of [...]

When I first heard that Robert Downy Jr was playing Tony Stark in the new Iron Man movie I was skeptical. My son Mike did point out that in the comics Tony Stark did have a problem with alcohol, so maybe this is type casting after all. But buzz is definitely building for this movie [...]

If you tell me a movie was made by M. Night Shyamalan I will go. I don’t really need a trailer because a track record that includes Signs, Unbreakable, and 6th Sense is enough. Besides, if Shyamalan is involved then there will be some twist in this movie that is apparently apocalyptic. By the end [...]
