I am back! For now. Here to review Insight. Dun dun dun! A psychological thriller type that my husband thought I would like to take a look at. And then he bat his eyes and asked me to review it. Since I am a sucker for him and his gorgeous eyes, I agreed. Was this movie worth the look? Let's take a look, shall we?

What takes 13.7 billion years.? The history of the world. This History Channel special takes two hours to cover everything. Of course, Earth is only 4.5 billion years old, so when we talk about the history of the world, we are really talking about the history of the universe and everything that led up to where we are now. Little things like a gigantic planetary collision which then shoots off molten debris which forms into our moon.

One of the great things about the movies is that it shows you things you would never see. You get to see a facsimile of people living their lives and get to experience a pertinent slice of their personal problems. We can be entertained by it and we can learn from it. It takes us out of our personal life and our personal problems. The closer to the truth a movie is the more we can identify with it. I have seen so many movies, but I know it just scratches the surface of the life stories out there.

“You don't choose a life Dad. You live one.”
The call no parent ever wants to get, “There's been an accident. Your child is dead.” When his son Daniel (Emilio Estevez) dies unexpectedly in the Pyrenees, Tom (Martin Sheen) flies to France to claim his body. But instead of returning immediately, he stays to complete an 800-kilometer pilgrimage across the Spanish countryside that his son couldn't.

“The measure of a man is what's left when fame falls away.”
Nobody can project the path of a bunch of teenagers swinging guitars. When Paul “Bono” Hewson launches a band with friends Larry Mullen Jr. and Dave Evans, some of his friends audition. But classmate Neil McCormick wants his own band; the latter's younger brother Ivan makes rhythm guitar in his schoolmates' band and Neil pulls back harder. The older McCormick acts in pride-shocked disbelief as Bonos' music group shuttles into worldwide success

“I started doing comedy in the comedy clubs in 1977. I couldn't wait till I got my face on that doggone wall. I couldn't wait till they called my name and I walked through a smoke-filled room, the little small tables and pulled that mike out that hole.”
Thirty years after Bernard McCullough entered the comedy circuit by way of his hometown Chicago, I saw him on The Bernie Mac Show and laughed at his take-no-crap approach to fatherhood. You had to smile at those big truth-telling eyes always trying to convince TV land that he would knock his TV kids upside the head if they pushed him too far.

The yesteryears of Disney were full of classic movies from Aladdin to 101 Dalmations. Each of those films holds a special place in my heart due to its warmth and very colorful, cute story. Having never seen Lady and the Tramp before picking up this early copy, I didn’t know what to expect of the film. Many declare it to be one of Disney’s best, which is certainly a remark that is quite distinguished. Would Lady and the Tramp capture my emotions and heart like so many old, classic Disney films did years ago? Read on to find out.

It would be nice if we were to get films as good as The Graduate from time to time. That’s asking a lot, but it would be nice. Another Happy Day is no The Graduate, but nothing is. Nothing could make such a seismic hit to a generation again. At least, I don’t think so. Another Happy Day did win the Best Screenwriting award at the Sundance film festival, and it seems well deserved. The film has a great cast, and you usually only get that if you have a great script or you spend a billion dollars.

Here we go again! It’s another movie about something dangerous in the water. I’m not gonna lie here, folks, I wasn’t expecting to much out of this one, but to my surprise I enjoyed it quite a bit. So here’s the short and skinny. A bunch of college kids set off to a lake house to enjoy a much-needed vacation. There is a fair amount of drinking and flirting and tomfoolery (always wanted to use that word). Early in the film we discover that Sara (Sara Paxton) has a dark secret with one of the town locals. As the party gets under way, trouble starts to brew in paradise when one of the partygoers gets his arm ripped off by a shark!

To film fans, the clause “Directed by Alfred Hitchcock” has almost become an adjective in and of itself. It has come to mean suspense created by using the viewer’s imagination and mind as a part of the film, first and foremost. These films didn’t have the freedom of CG, and consequently had to invent ways to achieve visual effects (watch the documentary on Birds or Rear Window for example). Besides the lack of freedom of creation that digital filmmaking now provides, the filmmakers had to tip toe around the Hays code
