Movies We Watch

As stated previously, we sort of have a weakness for these kind of films. And this was a surprisingly fun film. Sort of a cross between Legally Blonde and Sydney White.

Ok, I have a weakness for dog films. I can watch people sliced and diced in a film and I often don’t much care, but dogs, THAT is a whole different story. Benji – balled my eyes out when he went missing and every subsequent sequel even if he stubbed his paw. Old Yeller – [...]

I have seen a lot of films that were nominated or even won Academy Awards and I could not figure out why they had even been nominated. But this film deserved the award and any other that it got. The story was told through flash backs to a young orphans life and the people he [...]

How did we miss this Eric Stoltz film? I thought I had kept up on them, but apparently not. And the fact that Mary-Louise Parker is in it, makes it even more odd that we didn’t see this the first time around. So we pop this 15 year old film into the queue. It has [...]
