“I sing you to me, Mrs. Boss”
I have a problem. I speak a rare language that not many people speak, and as such, I often go misunderstood. It can be lonely, but I can’t help it. When I get excited, happy or angry, I just blurt out words..movie lines. After yesterday’s Encounter With Christ, where Jesus…

We All Fruit
“Give me a word, any word, and I will show you the root of that word is Greek” How about, Macedonian? The movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” (2002) is a family favorite in our home for good reason. I am pretty sure someone had a spy-robot-fly-on-the-wall that filmed our…

Paris 36
I caught a flick today (actually yesterday and today, divided among the folding of about 12 loads of laundry). Knowing very little about the movie “Paris 36”, which was in fact in French with English subtitles, I had little expectation on selecting it from our “On-Demand” list, except a slight hope of…

Pride and Prejudice Press
I love the movie Pride and Prejudice. The latest film version of this amazing classic novel by Jane Austin offers me a small taste of simplicity. Perhaps even bordering on a vice, the escape from the present day “Culture of Mean” (something isn’t considered funny unless it hurts someone else) has…
