Not much is going on with me at the moment, so there isn’t much to post about; well, nothing that I would want to commit to typed words going off into the infinite reaches of the internets anyway. This weekend had it’s nice points. I saw two movies, both of which I liked, District 9 [...]

Published by August 12th, 2009 in happenings, movie musings and show the love. 1 CommentI rarely ever get excited about movies, and I almost never get chills watching a preview (go and check it out here, since embedding is disabled on most of the youtube clips), but both things apply to Ponyo on the Cliff By the Sea, the upcoming Hayao Miyazaki film. I have been a fan of [...]
bow to blu
Published by June 23rd, 2009 in all about me, home improvement, movie musings and shiny stuff. 2 CommentsBasically, Blu Ray has re-invigorated my love of watching movies. I even upgraded Netflix to send us Blu Rays if they are available. High Definition really is the icing on delicious cake. Now… to stop buying so many of these damn movies!!! Seriously, though, that’s about all I got. I am STILL finishing up small [...]
what would you do in that situation?
Published by June 11th, 2009 in movie musings and well?. 8 CommentsFair warning: I will be talking about a movie (The Reader), and discussing the plot, so if you want to avoid spoilers, do not keep reading after this sentence. Last night, James and I watched the Reader. After the shock of the sheer amount of nudity there was in the film, I have to say, [...]
The Moody/Robinson household now has Blu Ray. Rejoice. UPDATE: I decided making a Blu Ray specific page was silly, because I will most likely get a lot of them; so I will just put a BR next to the title in the DVD library if it is a Blu Ray disc that I own (this [...]
We finally watched Milk the other night, and I really have to say wow, what a great movie. The fact that someone could have the drive and determination to always stand up to those that tried to push him down is incredibly inspiring. Harvey Milk was an amazing man, because he refused to just roll [...]

We were set to meet up at the Atlantic Station theater, which was pretty crazy because of the Cirque [...]
summer ’08 movie checklist
Published by June 16th, 2008 in mixed media and movie musings. 6 CommentsYesterday, I finally got to see Iron Man, and I have to say, that I was definitely impressed. The story was great, and the special effects were amazing. Also, Robert Downey Jr. was not only likable in the part of Tony Stark, but he was actually debonair and quite attractive. Talk about a role to [...]
region free is the way to be
Published by March 25th, 2008 in hmm interesting, hotness, mixed media, movie musings, pegg and frost and show the love. 4 CommentsA couple of months ago, I decided it was time to upgrade our DVD player to a HD upconversion unit, and I managed to get a great deal in the process. One of the other requirements I had for the unit, was that it not be Sony, because I wanted to see if I could [...]
another scream of praise for Juno
Published by January 8th, 2008 in listen up!, movie musings and show the love. 2 CommentsDamn. Juno is a magnificent film. I have been mulling over what I wanted to say about it for a few days now, mostly because of how great my experience was with this movie. I hate when you go to a movie, and leave feeling like, “well, that was okay”. When I left Juno, I [...]
