Star Trek: Beyond – This Afternoon’s Movie Adventure

star_trek_beyond-3

I am looking forward to this! Beyond is the latest in the rebooted series of Star Trek films with J.J. Abrams as the producer/director. From what I hear this is pretty, pretty good. Let’s boldly go to the movies this afternoon.

Ghostbusters, The Classic 1984 Version #ghostbusters

Instead of the VCR its the Blu Ray player and tonight we’re watching the DVD version of this great film. It’s a classic for all the right reasons, like it’s funny and the science fiction is awesome. One thing that makes this a great film is the comic chemistry of the cast Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and the late Harold Ramis. Sigourney Weaver who is a sci-fi queen herself makes this a truly special movie.

I am looking forward to the new movie with Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig. This will be a new movie for a new generation.

So, who ya going to call? You know what to do…

Cinderella…Have Courage and Be Kind!

Cinderella-2015We saw Cinderella yesterday for our anniversary date and we enjoyed it as much as our Italian food lunch. Lilly James who you know from “Downton Abbey” was great as the title character. She was sweet, lovely and full of heart. The movie was indeed a fairy tale brought to life with a great cast of mostly British talent who you know from a lot of things.

One thing I liked was how positive the story was and how it encourages everyone to have courage and to be kind, two things we all need to do more of. Helena Bonham Carter was a great Fairy Godmother while Cate Blanchett was a superb evil step-mother. It’s one movie to have in ones collection when it comes on home video.
