Small Screen Edition
Well, I apologize for those of you who turned up for this month's movie reviews, but alas I have seen a grand total of zero movies in the last month.  I know, I'm not holding up my end of the bargain here, but I swear I have good reason.  We spent the first 2 weeks on vacation visiting both of our families (I know, I use the term "vacation" in the loosest sense of the word), & 3 days after we returned home the hubby was admitted to hospital due to a mystery illness.  He is all fine &...

Back to School Movie Blues
So its back-to-school time here (yep, Aug 20...how crazy is that??) & I am a little saddened by this.  No, it is not the changing of the seasons (which we have 2 of in LA...warm & slightly less warm), nor the kids disappearing from fun summer play busied up by nightly homework (what is up with homework in kindergarten?!?).  The reason I am saddened is that back-to-school & approaching fall means one thing for moviegoers.....no more BIG summer movies.  No more Spidey, pirates, Harry Potter, homely schlubs hooking up with hot chicks, or Matt Damon (sadness envelopes me).  The studios...

Movie Reviews: A Canadian Mom in L.A.!
I L-O-V-E the movies.  And being a gal in LA, I am surrounded by them.  The first Pirates movie was filmed just down the road from us.  The town we live in often doubles for San Francisco because of all of our hills.  But to truly explain to you why I love the movies I have to digress a little bit (you are thinking… oh, great).  I love everything about the movies.  Okay, so I could do without the bloated salaries, relentless advertising, & downright annoying product placement, but I digress…again.  I love going to the movie theatre.  There...
