Below The Beltway

Roger Ebert suggests that the answer is yes:
While the success of the film continues to grow as it steadily increases its number of theaters, the majority of younger filmgoers are missing this boat. Why is that? They don’t care about reviews, perhaps. They also resist a choice that is not in step with their peer [...]

Kellie and I went to see The Simpsons Movie yesterday morning up in Tysons Corner. Now, to be fair, I am far an away a bigger Simpsons than my wife, but she came along anyway and we both enjoyed it.
To be honest, I don’t think I’ve laughed quite as much for that long in quite [...]

Kellie and I rented four movies this weekend, and they can all be summed up in one sentence each:
Because I Said So: Diane Keaton plays the same character she played in Something’s Gotta Give and The Family Stone. Only this time with a different, much less entertaining cast and script. Skip it
Catch And Release: What [...]

Yesterday, Kellie and I saw Wild Hogs. It was, we both agreed, laugh-out-loud-funny and well worth the cost? of the ticket. Check it out when you have time.

Yesterday, Kellie and I went to see We Are Marshall, which tells the story of the aftermath of the November, 1970 plane crash that killed the Marshall University football team, it’s coaches, and many fans. I had been interested in seeing this movie since I saw the first trailer several months ago. It seemed like [...]

On the way home from running errands tonight, we picked up Little Miss Sunshine Chock this rental up as yet another movie I just don’t get.
It was billed as a comedy but wasn’t very funny. And, at most moments, was really quite bizarre. If you’re walking down the video aisle this weekend, take my advice [...]

Kellie and I took in a very early matin?e showing of Rocky Balboa, the sixth and final installment of a saga that began more than twenty years ago.
I’m not ashamed to say it. I loved this movie. Not only it is reminiscent of everything that was great about Rocky and Rocky II, it was just [...]

Kellie and I went to a late afternoon showing of the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale, yesterday. While I’m not a James Bond fantic, I am a fan of the series so I was curious to see how Daniel Craig would do in his first shot at a role made famous by Sean Connery [...]

As I’ve related several times this week, it’s really, really hot here in Northern Virginia. Yesterday was the worst day of the week so far, and today looks like it will even top that. Since neither one of us had a desire to do much of anything else, Kellie and I decided to stay in [...]

After yet another driving tour of Virginia, Kellie and I came home on Saturday and watched a few movies. Needless to say, the pickings at the video store this weekend were incredibly thin, so cut me some slack as I review what we actually ended up watching.
First up was The Wedding Date with Debra Messing [...]
