So it’s 2010 huh? Pardon my surliness, but didn’t ya think the world would be a bit more futuristic by now? I mean, according to BACK TO THE FUTURE our cars should fly in six years. Anyone else think that ain’t ever gonna happen. Still we’re turning a page…not only on a year but on…
Decade pt. x ( Top Five 00’s Movies – 2009 )
I might have already said this, but it bears repeating…I cannot be happier to see the page turn on 2009 at the movies. To paraphrase a friend, it has been a year of leftovers and holdovers. remember that pesky writer’s strike two years ago? This year at the movies was the fallout of letting the…
Feliz Navidad (Hatter’s Five Favorite Christmas Movies)

With Teeth (Top Five Vampire Movies)
This blog is, and henceforth shall remain, a TWILIGHT-free zone. I have nothing against the fans of the books and/or movies, but they are truly not for me. The blogosphere is full of places where any Twi-Hards who read my space (and there are a few of ya) can keep up with The Cullens. This…
Give Peace a Chance ( Top Five War Films )
Note: I posted this same post around this time last year, but considering I’m still trying to shake this cold, that many of you weren’t reading my stuff back then, and that it’s all still rather apropos, I’ve decided to repost it.I took the photo above, of a Canadian soldier dressed in WWI fatigues at…
