The Desperate Hours

Before I prepared to go to work, I sat down to watch “The Desperate Hours” again.  Humphrey Bogart is Glenn Griffin, one of three convicts who invade a home to hide out while they wait for a package of money.  … Continue reading

The Errand Boy

I was stuck at home in the morning, and I found Jerry Lewis’ “The Errand Boy” on a movie channel, so I sat down to watch it.  Lewis made better films, like “The Nutty Professor” and “The Ladies Man,” but … Continue reading

The Godfather

I woke up in the middle of the night and watched “The Godfather” again.  I have different questions every time I see this movie.  I wondered about Kay looking after those children when Michael came calling.  It looked like she … Continue reading

Tombstone

In my hotel room I watched “Tombstone” as I ate a sub.  I thought it was part of Val Kilmer’s best period as an actor.  He was Doc Holliday, coughing up blood but somehow hanging in there.  I will remember … Continue reading

Zoolander

I watched “Zoolander” again.  It wasn’t quite so hilarious after seeing it so many times, but it is still enjoyable.  I had to laugh again at the Derk Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Wanna Lean to … Continue reading

Logan Lucky

I watched “Logan Lucky” again.  I thought that part of the plot involving the prison escape was too much to add to the heist.  Daniel Craig’s accent was not convincing.  I didn’t care to hear John Denver’s “Take Me Home, … Continue reading
