The Golden Compass

This was David’s choice, which we watched Wednesday night.
Unfortunately it wasn’t a good choice for Mom, and for us, was a bit slow in spots, if not down right boring.
A sort of mystical tale, which has worked well in the past for Mom, but not this particular rendition. It had some good spots in it, …

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist

This was Tuesday’s video fare, and frankly I am on a roll in a picking out videos to watch.
To begin with, it even had David watching, with some enthusism. And that is a trick, but then it had some good looking guys, and did have a sort of gay theme to it. Which in itself …

Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog

Okay, not what I’d call a cinematic extravaganze, but you know, it worked.
While the actual video was 42 minutes in length, it had music, had action, and well, it made her laugh, made her smile and remember it.
And that is what it is all about.
The video starred Neil Patrick Harris, of Doogie Howser fame, and …

Comedy, Bottle Shock

Not a super great laugh a second video, but it did the trick.  A rather decent video actually, with some fairly decent acting.

Movie IQ

Every time I turned to look, she had this grin on, and was staring intently at the television, watching. Her eyes …

Last Chance Harvey

Not a typical movie, because actually it was good.
I don’t know, but you watch television, and really it is just so much crap, that it isn’t worth paying the cable bill. Then there is the commercials. Like that really makes a crappy show more entertaining.  NOT!
Mom seemed quite enthralled with the movie, and that makes …

Extreme Movie

There are times, really, when you have to wonder about the people who write descriptions for videos. I mean, seriously I had no idea at just how raunchy this movie was going to be. I suppose you would call it softcore porn, but the funny thing is, Mom enjoyed it.
Not bad for a 92 year …

Saturday Ritual

Odd how one gets into a routine, isn’t it?
For a long time, we have spent the evenings, watching television, but over the last few years, that has gradually dimnished in popularity.I mean what is on television, just plain sucks. Mom finds it of little interest, and besides, there really isn’t any good programs on, that …
