Barefoot in the Park

The was a sweet movie. Both Fonda and Redford were great. I loved the apartment and so cheap for New York. An ending that would make anyone smile.

The Best Years of Our Lives

A movie about three man trying to readjust after the war. I liked this movie much more then I thought I would. I thought it would be very depressing. The characters were very real and likable.

Almost Famous

I watched Almost Famous back in 2001 when it was first out on DVD. I wasn't very impressed at that time. Then yesterday I watched it again. What a differance five years makes. I was completely blown away.

I was so envious of William yet proud at the same time. He followed and lived his dream. How many of us can really say that?

The acting the music.........just greatness...

The Cronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

Really enjoyed this movie it was beautifully done. I thought not knowing any of the actors would be a drawback but soon I was quite taken with them. A great adaptation.

Music Review:Pearl Jam-Pearl Jam

I've have always been Pearl Jam fan and I can freely admit that they have had some great albums and some no so great ones.

There latest effort simply titled Pearl Jam is just great. It is the tighest album since VS. The riffs will blow you away.

Brokeback Mountain

As much as I wanted to see this movie, I have to see I didn't like it at all. Gay aspects aside, I found the characters cold and at times mean. I could see why they struggled but they didn't make me feel it.
