Close Encounters Trivia
“Close Encounters Of The Third Kind” was on Turner Classic Movies last night. (I like watching movies on TCM, because there’s no commercials and no edits)
“Close Encounters” is SUCH a good movie. I haven’t seen it in forever. As I watched the mothership come over Devil’s Tower, I remembered hearing a bit of trivia…so I […]
Watercooler Wednesday - Movie Chills

A Movie Case In Point

And we […]
Movies, Lists, And Recommendations
I really like movies. I enjoy the big-screen, surround-sound theater experience, and I also enjoy sitting at home with a DVD.
As I’ve already blogged in an earlier post, we’re rather picky about what we watch. I will often watch or read the big-name movie reviewers…usually, if they like something we probably won’t, and vice-versa. Mainly, […]
