Hello readers, happy Monday! Whew, what a weekend. The weather's gorgeous here in the upper Midwest (albeit in the cool side, I mean mid 60s for high in August!!) so I've been outside most of the time, even spending time of the MN State Fair all Saturday, though I'm no fair-goer by a long shot! …

Flixchatter Review: The Soloist
I almost didn't watch this one as the Blockbuster nearby didn't have a copy. We've been circling around the New Releases section twice and on to the older flicks aisles, and still couldn't agree on something none of us had seen or wanted to watch. So my hubby and a couple of buddies of mine …
Flixchatter Review: District 9
It's nearly eleven hours since I saw the movie and its effect lingers with me still. I haven't been this blown away by something I saw at the movies since The Dark Knight last year.

Flixchatter Review: The Taking of Pelham 123
Ok now, The Taking of Pelham 123 is yet another remake (clearly Hollywood's long been out of original ideas!) of a subway train being hijacked. It's a simple premise really, but director Tony Scott managed to inject enough tension and sharp dialogue to keep audience engaged. This is a story of an ordinary man forced into …

Return to Me – The beautiful, poignant chickflix nobody’s ever seen!
I can't remember exactly how I stumbled upon RETURN TO ME years ago, but I am sure glad I did. Now I'm not a huge fan of chickflix in general, especially those with the quintessential formula of ‘boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back and they …
