Movie Review: “The Hunger Games” Have you seen it yet?

One of the most anticipated films of 2012 that is not a sequel has reached theatres. "The Hunger Games", based on the novel by Suzanne Collins (she also contributed to the screenplay), is a disturbing yet riveting look at a future that one would hope could never happen. It gives us a very plausible

Movie Review: “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1”

I was fortunate enough to see this on opening day with a friend. It is based upon the final book in the Harry Potter series, but due to the length of the story, this film only covers the first portion of the book. Part 2 will be released in theatres July 2011. I saw the regular version rather than

TV Review: Prime Time Network New Fall Shows, 2010

TV Review: Prime Time Network New Fall Shows, 2010

There are a plethora of new shows which debuted during prime time on network television in September, over 20 of them in fact. Unfortunately, I stopped watching the networks this summer because I don't care for repeats or reality shows, so I missed the promos that advertised the beginning of the CW

DVD Review: “LOST, The Final Season: The Complete Sixth Season”

DVD Review: “LOST, The Final Season: The Complete Sixth Season”

One of the most perplexing yet entertaining television shows has come to an end. Season Six was relatively brief, just 16 episodes, but it packed a wallop, and the two and a half hour conclusion which aired on May 23 was polarizing. But now that the survivors of Oceanic Airlines flight 815 have co

Movie Review: “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”

I don't quite fit the definition of a "Twihard", a person completely obsessed with all things "Twilight", but I have read all the books and have seen the first two movies multiple times apiece. "Eclipse" is the third film in the series so far. I saw it at the theatre with a friend and her mom the da

DVD Review: “LOST, The Complete Fourth Season: The Extended Experience”

By now you've probably seen the promos on ABC for the return of the fifth season of "LOST" airing January 21st. Season 4 was cut short by the writer's strike, and it has been eight months since the show last aired. If you want to refresh your memory before jumping into the new season, check out the

Movie Review: Door to Door

I was recently blessed to be in Pennsylvania, visiting two wonderful spoonie friends of mine. We'd had a very long and busy day sightseeing around Hershey Chocolate World, followed by a wonderful family dinner with Rose's family and were totally beat! So we did what all responsible "spoonies" should

Network Television Fall Season 2008

It would seem the writer's strike has limited the amount of new programming offered this fall. Either that, or I have just gotten pickier about what I will view. Either way, this year, I only found three shows I wanted to test drive. Here are my thoughts so far: 1. "Fringe", Fox, Tuesdays. This on

DVD Review: “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”

How does one deal with the unexpected and the obstacles that at first seem to be insurmountable? How does one view the world after one nearly loses it? Who comes to our aid, and who stays away? These and other questions are addressed in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". This film is based on the
