Please wholeheartedly receive the compliments of the season until those compliments just seem like gratuitous sucking-up after a while! Yes, another post! Trust me, no one was more surprised as I was about it! With this slew of postings, I started with A Charlie Brown Christmas and now National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation? Could my holiday …

Almost Half A Baker’s Dozen Days of Christmas Movies AGAIN!: Day 1 A Charlie Brown Christmas
Stone the crows, it has been a while, hasn’t it? Warmest Christmas greetings to all my good friends, outright enemies, and noncommittal acquaintances! Once again, despite the court orders, I am going to spend this wonderful holiday time to speak about some wonderful holiday entertainment fare. Oh, I know that you cannot contain your joy …
Almost Equal Sequels Part XII: 2010: The Year We Make Contact
Ye gods, it has been a terrifically long time, hasn’t it? I feel like I’ve finally awoken from hibernation as I make the long journey to Jupiter’s moons, I tell you! Now that I coincidentally on purpose mentioned Jupiter’s moons, I think the time has come to talk about a sequel to an acclaimed and …

What’s A Mother’s Movies To Do?: Bringing Up Baby
Well, kids, it has been a while, hasn’t it? Aside from work and family commitments, it has been tough to carve out some time to talk about…well, anything! So I thought I’d start up a new series idea that I will probably let flounder and eventually lose interest in, but hey, let’s give it the …

Almost Equal Sequels Part XI: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Space…the sheer amount of space that has happened since I last wrote something, I tell you! And to focus on a universally highly regarded sequel as Star Trek II? Could I take a more softball approach? I mean there’s no controversy here. The Wrath of Khan, or TWOK as the real geeks call it, is …

My First The Last Jedi Review: Revenge Of The Return Strikes Back
*Since Star Wars is effectively a non-entity and a bit of a joke at this point, I thought I would drag my original post on this film out from the ether, update it a bit but not much, and send it back out into a cruel world. Plus, I had just rewatched the Red Letter …

Did Mary Know About LEDs, Multiple Scrooges, and Neil Diamond?
Now that we are past being up to our sleigh bells as yet another Christmas holiday season fades into the distance, I thought it would be a wonderful time for quiet reflection. Earlier today for instance, I simply stopped what I was doing. I took a deep breath of the crisp winter air. The whistling wind …

Almost Half A Baker’s Dozen Days of Christmas Movies: Day 5 The Bishop’s Wife
The merriest of Christmases to you and yours! I thought that I would close out this series of admittedly wondrous blog posts with a doozy of a Christmas movie. Once again, I have received inspiration from my family and as they are watching the My Little Pony: A Very Minty Christmas special, I have been spurred to take pen …

Almost Half A Baker’s Dozen Days of Christmas Movies: Day 4 Santa Claus Conquers The Martians
Seriously, I was joking. When finishing my last award-seeking blog post for Day 3, I had no real intentions to talk about Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Honestly and truly, it was never my thought! I just wanted to end on a semi-lame, partially weak joke. You know, like I do with most of my postings, if not all …
Almost Half A Baker’s Dozen Days of Christmas Movies: Day 3 How The Grinch Stole Christmas!
Well here we go again into the wondrous wonderful world of wonder that we know as the Christmas holiday movie! Frankly, after knocking it out of the park with my first holiday film choice and then being forced to retreat into more conventional holiday fare with my second, I don’t know which way to turn. Sure, I …
