The Fight Club DVD Reviewed

Friday, March 21st, 2008

The Fight Club DVD has everything a guy could want in a movie. Conversely, it is far from being a chick flick. It has everything a guy likes to see in an action movie, fighting, blood and gore, explosions, sex, violence and a touch of lunacy. However, the Fight Club DVD is more than just an entertaining action film. The movie points out that there is something terribly wrong within our society today when highly educated people feel the need to revert to violence and cruelty just to relieve some of their tension and aggression. Sadly, while the Fight Club movie pointed out society’s diseases, it never offered up a cure. Nonetheless, knowing that there is a disease is the first step to finding a cure for it, and the Fight Club DVD did just that.

The Wizard of Pink Floyd

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Dorothy and her cute doggy Toto do not try to find way home from behind the rainbow any more after an English rock band Pink Floyd gave their own version of Pink Floyd Wizard of Oz, Dark Side of the Rainbow.

Wait! Wizard of Oz, an MGM movie, was made 1939 – according to my son, in the ancient times. To be truth, Pink Floyd’s 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, lies for him in the same ancient times.

Now, on the more serious note: Dark Side of the Rainbow aka Dark Side of Oz aka The Wizard of Floyd, is some sort of synchronization between classic MGM movie and Pink Floyd album. One watches the film and listens to music at the same time. Many believe that the movie and the music somehow correspond with each other.

Skull and Crossbones

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

Have you ever thought about why some people become obsessed with something? How some people it is collecting certain items such as stamps, coins, rocks or a certain kind of figurines. Other people may become obsessed with an activity or sport or professional sports teams. There are a great number of people that spend a great deal of money to attend the home games of their favorite teams and to buy all the paraphernalia that is available. Some people will concentrate on one player of a team and others concentrate on the team. There are other people that become obsessed with famous personalities such as a singer, actor or band. They will collect albums and posters and spend money going to concerts.

My sister has had a complete obsession with the pirates of the Caribbean movies. I was not surprised, because as a child when any movie or television program would be on she would drop anything that she was doing to watch it. When she was twenty she had a small skull and crossbones tattooed on her shoulder blade. This was before tattoos were popular. To this day, thirty four ears later she still has not told our mother that she has the tattoo. When she was in high school, when most other girls were drawing hearts on they’re notebooks, she was drawing skulls and crossbones. Now in this age of zero tolerance of anything remotely violent in schools she might have gotten kicked out for having the skulls and crossbones displayed on her notebooks.

For her birthday this year her husband wanted to have a surprise party for her. Her birthday is on Christmas Eve so she never really gets any special attention for the day. Her husband thought that it would be a huge surprise if it was done in the middle of January. He would take her out for dinner and celebrate her birthday as usual the day before Christmas and then in January we would surprise her with a party. He asked me if I would help. Of course he wanted to go with a pirate theme. We had a great cake made that featured the skull and crossbones. The cake looked like a pirates flag. I bought the supplies and asked my sister-in-law, who is a wonderful seamstress, to help me make a huge flag with the skull and crossbones on it. When it was completed we rolled it up onto a wooden dowel. When my sister walked into the room we started singing the traditional birthday song and we pulled a string which caused the huge pirate’s flag to unfold. She loved the party, especially the theme. Since her party the skull and crossbones fly high above their home. They are the only people in the neighborhood with a pirates flag hanging on their flag pole.

James Bond Movie

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

There is nothing like a good James Bond movie to fill a relaxing afternoon at home. My husband and I look forward to the holidays for many reasons including the reruns of these classics that are offered on some cable channels. We love to spend a couple hours watching a James Bond movie before getting ready for holiday festivities.

Home Theater Systems are getting better and cheaper

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

I know what TV I want to get, but I can’t quite decide on home theater audio systems. What kind of home theatre system should I get? Part of me wants to get one of those over the top, extremely high powered home theater systems. I want to be able to turn up the sound as loud as I want and scare the neighbors. Another part of me, however, thinks that I’m getting too old for that. Rationally, I think it would be better served by a home theater system with flat-panel speakers. I have heard that that kind of home theater system delivers the best sound quality, which is kind of the whole point.

Scream Masks - Classic Halloween Costume Ideas

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

We all know how cinema tends to go way off track. The “based on true events” spiel can be pretty vague to say the least. For all we know, each story contained human beings and took place on planet earth, hence based on true “EVENTS.” Regardless of any truth relating back to the “Scream” film, the scream masks will remain in circulation. We horror nuts love these like we do the Jason, Freddy, and Michael Myers masks. They’re classics that will come out on each and every Halloween night.

You will absolutely love Murder on the Orient Express. From the very beginning of the book you are hooked. The murder happens early in the story making it a “page turner” from the start.
