LOCAL HEROFinally had time for a "Rip That Wrap" night; we opened up Local Hero and Gayle made fajitas with produce from the farm (I love squash). Burt Lancaster and Peter Riegert are wonderful, the scenery is amazing and the movie is a strange walk along a shore you don't want ... read morePosted on 09/01/2008 by lonelypond 
Review of Adam's Rib
Adam's RibNot the best Tracy-Hepburn -- my favorite is Desk Set-- but here they retain all the trademark spark. Some very very funny bits, excellent support cast in David Wayne and Judy Holliday, but too contrived. Pat and Mike better for the battle of the sexes. Posted on 08/28/2008 by lonelypond IN THE BLEAK DECEMBERHave been struggling with the last remnants of chaos from the computer changeover. Had an insomniac fit where instead of sending crazy e-mails, I posted IN THE BLEAK DECEMBER on scribd. But thanks to computer changeover coding crud puppies and my 3 am efforts to get rid of them, chunks ... read morePosted on 08/28/2008 by lonelypond 
Review of 2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space OdysseyIf I were watching this at this hour on TV right now, I'd be drifting in and out, much like the storyline always seems to between the obelisks. I'll grant that there are some stunning visuals and as a person who writes film scripts mostly lacking in dialogue, it seems ... read morePosted on 04/22/2008 by lonelypond WEEKENDFriday night, ripped that wrap off of "Alvin and the Chipmunks"and an Amy's frozen pizza -- whole wheat pesto. "Alvin and the Chipmunks" still fun -- excellent voice talent and I've always liked Jason Lee, although I do not watch "My Name is Earl". Then Saturday: "Forbidden Kingdom" -- was ... read morePosted on 04/22/2008 by lonelypond HEAVEN AND EARTHCaught this film on one of the many digital cable channels we can scroll through for another week or so without adding to our cable bill. My brother Beau brought it out years ago and the breathtaking scenery stayed with me and as I watched it again, once more I ... read morePosted on 04/18/2008 by lonelypond RIP THAT WRAPThe new Friday night tradition in our house, which you might want to adopt if you're not in the opening night audience for "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" or Forbidden Kingdom," is to pull something out that you acquired by gift ("Devil Wears Prada"), for $1 at Target (Adventures of Gumby or ... read morePosted on 04/18/2008 by lonelypond TO TAG OR...To tag or not to tag...and what to do when the numbers of tags (be polite) threatens to exceed the word count of the entry...still trying to figure out the style/approach to take -- how much to say. how low can my culture go on such a tending to the ... read morePosted on 04/11/2008 by lonelypond 
Review of Bullets Over Broadway
Bullets Over BroadwayI'm not the biggest Woody Allen fan but the war between Jennifer Tilly and Chaz Palmintieri that only he knows is occurring is great. Very funny, especially Dianne Wiest but Palmintieri's character made the movie for me...well written (of course) and great backstage scenes and insight into the creative and ... read morePosted on 04/11/2008 by lonelypond MISSING MOVIESMinnie Driver recommends movies on this site and yet no "Beautiful," Minnie Driver directed by the excellent Sally Field and co-starring "Chasing Amy's" Joey Lauren Adams as well as the Pepsi Girl Hallie Kate Eisenberg.
