With the baseball season winding down — and my beloved Cubs out of the playoffs — I thought I’d fill the ample time until spring by naming off my top five baseball films of all time. 🙂 The Natural Field of Dreams A League of their Own Pride of the Yankees Eight Men Out BullContinue reading “On Favorite Baseball Movies”

On Hot Fuzz
Here’s the set-up. London supercop Nicholas Angel is sent to the country by the Metropolitian Police Department — he’s so good, he’s making the rest of the force look really bad. So, the man who keeps London safe now has to face the terrors of the quiet English village in the countryside where the crimesContinue reading “On Hot Fuzz”
On The Pacifier
There wasn’t anything on television this afternoon, so flipping through channels I found The Pacifier, the comedy starring Vin Diesel about a Navy SEAL assigned to babysit and bodyguard a family. I remember seeing a trailer for it, and I remember thinking to myself what had happened to Vin Diesel that he would do aContinue reading “On The Pacifier”

Studio is ready to unveil such high-profile projects as “Terminator 4”; one or two installments of “The Hobbit,” which Sloan hopesContinue reading “On The Hobbit film”
On a Movie Meme
Snurched from Todd Kogutt, a movie meme! If I’ve seen a hundred of these, I have no life.
On Green Street Hooligans
Back in college I wrote an editorial for the campus newspaper entitled “I Want To Be a Soccer Hooligan.” The University of Richmond had at the time (and may well still have) a very good women’s soccer team. Only, no one knew because no one attended the games. One afternoon, with nothing else to do,Continue reading “On Green Street Hooligans”
On 50 First Dates
Because of an article I’ve just read, a rant on a film I’ve seen once, eighteen months ago. 🙂 I don’t generally like Adam Sandler movies. Okay, let’s be honest–remove the “generally” from the previous sentence, and that’s sums up exactly how I feel about Sandler and his cinematic excesses. Yes, I laughed at theContinue reading “On 50 First Dates”
On Derailed
I hadn’t been to the movies in a while, and I decided to rectify that. Derailed. The new Clive Owen/Jennifer Aniston film. I knew very little about the film going in. It’s based on a novel by someone (I’ve seen it in Barnes & Noble and Target), it’s about a married man who meets aContinue reading “On Derailed”

More on Movies
I’ve done a movie meme in the past two months, but I saw this on James DiBenedetto‘s webpage and thought, Why not? Of the American Film Institute’s top 100 films, which have I seen? Let’s take a look, shall we? CITIZEN KANE (1941) CASABLANCA (1942) THE GODFATHER (1972) GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) LAWRENCE OFContinue reading “More on Movies”
