The View From the Phlipside – Oscar Movies, the Dark Side of George and Tweet Reviews
(Starting this week I am combining my three scripts into a single blog post. The task of creating multiple posts to be published on different days and then trying to remember to link them on my Facebook page is just more than I want to deal with any more. I've inserted breaks so you can... Continue Reading →
The Movie List – January
The Man Who Knew Too Much - (1956) - I have a short list of actors I will watch in anything. James Stewart is on that list (other names Henry Fonda, Denzel Washington. There might be a couple more but none spring instantly to mind). Add in Alfred Hitchcock directing and I just can't stay... Continue Reading →

Last movies of 2011
Shanghai Knights - (2003) Sigh. I tried. Knowing full well that one must NEVER over think any movie where Owen Wilson stars I figured I'd sit back and enjoy some light hearted silliness. My real hope was that Jackie Chan, an actor I really enjoy, would make up for Wilson. It wasn't to be. Just... Continue Reading →

I'll never... Continue Reading →

Movies – Mostly bad
Being stuck in motels, airports and airplanes gives one the chance to see a lot of movies. Sadly most of the ones I've caught recently have been bad. The A-Team - (2010) If this movie were to be allowed to stand on its own it would probably get a passing grade. Not great, not terrible,... Continue Reading →
Of Books and Movies
Let's see what have we read or watched recently? Doctor Who - (the movie) 1996 - I was all set to hate this. See being part of a cult following means that you must have decided opinions. On everything. I've been a Whovian since college and for me it is the Fourth Doctor (Whovians all... Continue Reading →
