Face Down, Ass Up

Posted on 4/25/2009 by nikki

Hey! I know you’ve been missing me terribly here, but the last movie we saw was The International. I have nothing interesting to say about it. I thought this would be the best place to pose this question because I … Continue reading →

Strictly Ballroom

Posted on 2/21/2006 by nikki

Because we’ve become entranced by that dance show on TV–how could they get rid of Lisa Rinna? Jerry Rice sucks!–I decided to (re)watch Strictly Ballroom. Pete swears we watched it before, but I don’t remember it. I think I might … Continue reading →

The Five Year old Darwin & March of the Penguins

Posted on 8/11/2005 by nikki

Where Oates and I part ways

Posted on 6/6/2005 by nikki

Pete and I actually went to the movies the other night, Cinderella Man. As you would expect from Ron “Happy Days” Howard, it is more than manipulative, totally predictable, and there’s the bootstrap-stuff to boot. Also, the communists die. Then … Continue reading →

Maggie at the Movies

Posted on 1/11/2005 by nikki

My grandmother sees every movie that comes out. She’s much more qualified than I am to contribute to this blog. Too bad she doesn’t own a computer. So I offer you her recent reviews, fresh from her snail mail. “Closer–Julia … Continue reading →
