Lois Lane, finding herself in her hero/lovers arms for the first time in 5 too-long years says quietly “I’d forgotten how warm you are.” Superman is, after all, a man. He’s just, well… super.
The movie aside, why do we live in dreams? What is it about what-ifs and might’ve-beens that makes feel so warm inside. [...]

What does it mean to be human?
This question has amazing implications and considering it can affect ones life in so many ways. In this day we see so many issues vying for the attention and approbation of people and society: euthanasia, abortion, stem-cell research, life purpose, evolution, biology, history, life after death. You name it [...]

I’m disappointed. A friend of mine recently gave up.
He’s in his first real job, he’s going through junior college, he’s been on summer missions a couple times. By all accounts he’s progressing and growing, learning and choosing and standing. But he doesn’t live in reality any longer.
Is it his workmates and their common, liberal bent? [...]

Casino Royale is a gritty film with a bit more life than recent Bond films. This film apparently falls near the beginning of the Bond saga and tells of Bonds early days before and immediately following his receiving 007 status. There is much less gadgetry and the resulting action is more authentic for it. The [...]

Happy Feet is a wonderful movie which brought the whole audience to laughter several times during the showing I attended. The animation was incredibly life-like and well executed making it easy to believe those are real penguins you see singing and dancing. Technically it was quite an achievement and I’m now looking forward with much [...]

So I’m going to make a lot of people mad. People who generally agree with me as well as people who generally don’t agree with me will be very mad. In fact, I’m only sure of one person who will not be mad with me after they get through reading this. So, be forewarned, and [...]

The Prestige is a brilliant show requiring more than one viewing (though I’ve only seen it once so far). About two days after I saw this film I realized that the whole film is played out just like the acts in the magic shows that film is about, and about that I shall not further [...]

Hark how life doth fly through its light of lyme,
Its perfect time being now, its future gone,
As a gentle wind, it is but a brief smear in time.
With gewgaws and trinkets our lives we do line,
Trying to make some use of that we do not understand.
Hark how life doth fly through its light of lyme.
The [...]

Yes, I did, not for lack of trying to find something redeeming in his movies. He’s just soooo Will Ferrell. I couldn’t see his characters because he’s just sooo Will Ferrell. I couldn’t enjoy his humor because it was sooo Will Ferrell. I know he’s a smart guy and if he decided to act like [...]
